Getting spanked by one of the worst comic book movies ever made.

No holiday legs. It is still doing well though.
Fantastic Four is worse though so it makes sense.
Yeah its one of those movies I probably would have watched if it popped up on tv as a kid on a lazy Saturday. Green Lantern is just kind of boring.
I'll probably redbox F4 at some point though out of morbid curiosity and drink until I can sit through all of it.

Went to see straight outta Compton without expecting much, but it was a great movie.
The 5 day domestic total was $42M
Looks like we are in for another slow week. Boxoffice.com is putting everything other than Compton under $10M this weekend.

It's great. Hoping with China holiday coming up that Terminator Genisys can keep up the momentum.
$110-120 finish is a certainty in China, but I'm hoping it does better and its legs extends to $150 million. We'll see when the weekend box-office totals come up, and we'll be able to gauge where it's going.
Crazy. And People thought that a lot of Blockbusters will bomb this year. And what happened? One passed billion after another.

Pretty much. $2 billion is pretty much the new billion dollar mark at this point (I wouldn't be surprised if Lucasfilm, Marvel of Universal would be the next to pass that mark at this point.)
Looks like War Room will end up in the $8-10M range this weekend, which is alright given its budget and the fact that it is only in 1100 theatres. We Are Your Friends is a flop. 2300 venues and early numbers are pointing to a $3M weekend. No Escape will make a little over $10M for its 5-day opening.
Compton will be #1 again, but it looks like it will have a high 40s/low 50s drop.
A lot of larger budget films did bomb (or at least disappoint) this year. Also, a lot of films that were originally slated for this year moved into 2016 and 2017.

It's been great years for Universal and Disney, but not so much for the rest of the big studios

You do it, I'm debating whether to do lists or grade every movie this summer I saw.

Apparently We Are Your Friends is horribly bombing with a sub-3M opening weekend in the cards. WB should've taken a look at SpongeBob's performance earlier this year and put that Regular Show Movie in theaters instead. Probably could've made about 40M total, which would be low, but still a profit.
I saw the trailer for that movie, and all I could think was, that's a really bad name for a movie.
Friday Studio Estimates:
1) War Room - $3.9M
2) Straight Outta Compton - $3.8M - $125M total
3) No Escape - $2.4M
4) Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - $2.2M - $164M total
5) The Man From Uncle - $1.3M - $31M total
6) Sinister 2 - $1.2M - $15M total
7) Hitman: Agent 47 - $1.1M - $13M total
8) The Gift - $810k - $34M total
9) American Ultra - $810k - $9M total
10) Jurassic World - $790k (+290%) - $641M total
11) Ant-Man - $760k - $167M total
12) We are Your Friends - $725k
So long summer.
We are Your Friends is doing even worse than expected. It will not make the top 10 this weekend, even with the box office being as soft as it is.
Jurassic World received a huge bump as expected. It might crawl to $650M with Labor Day next weekend, but it still won't hit Titanic numbers to take the #2 spot.

Yo where that Fantastic 4
It's a movie about EDM with Zac Effron. Apparently it's bad too.
It's a movie about rich white kids who live in their parents pool house and pretty much do nothing. Oh and they've got dreams and shit but a whole lot of problems too. Blabla cry me a river. Hard to care for any of the characters. At least the soundtrack was really good.
yeah seriously, is it December 18th yet?
Friday reports only cover the top 10 or so films. We will have to wait for the full weekend numbers to hear from Fantastic Four. I won't expect much though. The film lost another 900 venues this weekend, and is now playing in fewer theatres than Ant-Man or Minions.
I said goddamn
They were continuing to come regardless. 90 Minutes in Heaven in two weeks. The bigger budgeted Miracles From Heaven in March. God's Not Dead 2, coming next Easter!
God of War crossover film
Between F4 and HItman, I would love to be in Fox meetings this quarter. I would pay 15 bucks just to stream them
I feel like a slice of the merchandising rights would be more than enough incentive for Fox to hand over the F4 license to use in the MCU but that's probably more than Disney would ever be willing to give up.
Thats a nonstarter right there. Disney rather give you Roy's corpse, if a deal does happen it will be for the x-men live action tv rights.

There are still evil secular educational institutions to demonize.
Also, yet another Duck Dynasty figure will be making a cameo.
Damned public high schools, not letting teachers proselytize!
I do too.
So, I guess the third film will be where the plucky Christian lead finally throws down that pesky division between church and state after a hard fought battle with the godless Supreme Court.
It's still a decade old low budget family film not based on any property up against one of Fox's tentpole summer films.

I haven't seen F4 yet, but this is where I sit. I just assume those that say GL is one of the worst movies ever are young or haven't seen a ton of super hero movies. I'd say it's middle of the pack. Catwoman, Steel, Batman & Robin, Superman 3/4, pretty much every marvel movie before Singer's X men or Raimi's Spiderman are complete horse shit.
Looks like Man from uncle is finally in town, going to give it a watch tomorrow.
