Looking at some of the reporting on BOT, it seems to be holding just as poorly overseas as well. In particular, Olive posted the Friday estimates for China and it's down 86% from last week.

First Friday was a tad under $20M. Second Friday was $2.7M

$100M is dead in China


I assume the rest of the world is holding better though.
 
Zootopia increased to $3.2M, which is slightly better than the Croods in 2013. The G.I. Joe comparison is looking better.

Yikes. Seems like $90M will be the ceiling.
 
A friend and I are watching a movie this weekend, we were gonna go for BvS, but she saw the reviews and feedback from a couple of our mutual friends and changed her mind. Now we are going to go watch Zootopia. I have never seen an animated movie before in the theaters, so it should be interesting.

You've made a very good decision.

Did your parents not love you? :P
 
For shits and giggles I made a basic linear equation using FF and Deadpool's Thursday and weekend grosses as x,y (work is very slow today fyi). I realize it's in no way accurate at all but BvS's $7.7 million Thursday translated to a $50.2 million weekend, just a hair under a 70% drop.
 
Oh, and crossover watch: today BvS was only $3.5m over Zootopia. It'll swamp it for the weekend of course, but weekdays next week might get close.
 
Will finally see BvS on Sunday and will see what the fuss is about. I'm guessing most of the reviews have been a bit overzealous and hoping at least for a decent action flick even if it was fucked in the editing room.

The action isn't even the good part of the movie imo! MoS was better for that.

Personally, some reviews were spot on, while many others weren't harsh enough. It just saddens me how much they fucked this up.
 
Variety just tweeted "BvS climbs to 209 mil in its first week!"

And I was like "that sounds impressive"

And then there was a beat, and I remembered "Shit, it made 166 of that in three days, though."
 
You can check back earlier in the thread, where the thought that the spring break holiday and relative lack of competition would act as bracers for wobbly legs, but I'm not sure that's actually turning out to be the case.

Unless it is, and this is the effect of it being Spring Break with nothing new really in the way. I'd have thought that ridiculous, but then I remember the marketing campaign for this movie, and thinking "Well, these trailers are sort of rough, how could they be dropping the ball like this? It almost looks like a really expensive episode of Arrow."

Turns out I wasn't giving WB marketing enough credit. The fact they got this movie to look like an expensive episode of Arrow was pretty amazing, in retrospect.

This is a good point, because that's literally true. It had spring break and no competition and still dropped like a rock. This is BvS getting propped up by a good schedule. Next week is not going to be pretty.

In a week of getting reamed it deserved a little good press.

NEVER? What kind of movies were your parents taking you to as a kid?

An expensive season 3 episode of Arrow. And in the end, it was just an expensive episode of Birds of Prey.

That's what my fiance and I did.

Zootopia is a much smarter film than she and I ever expected.
 
I kind of want BvS to track under Furious 7. Of course, that would mean it would track under Deadpool as well.

It's a win-win for both films.
 
I think the Hulk will be keeping that record for life. In this day an age it seems no matter how critically reviled or how disliked by audiences a comic book movie might be, they're safe from crashing that bad. BvS would have to gross less than $50.1 million to get that record.
 
A weekend-to-weekend drop of 69.8% would be 50mil. 70% flat would be 40.8

Hulk's record is 69.7% (would be 50.29 for BvS)

Add 1.6 mil for every percentage point up the ladder.

People seem to be predicting 55mil, which would be a 67% drop.
 
Midnight/Thursday previews weren't nearly as big a thing when Hulk launched. BvS has a built in 17% drop just from the loss of the $27.8M Thursday previews this weekend.

Today will likely be down 77-80% from last Friday.
