because i doubt studios would be willing to sustain that many big budget films. sooner or later these movies will start to eat each other's profits. right now they're spaced alright.
well that's what i think anyway. it seems overwhelming when you look at the mcu and dcu slate. and fox is gaining some solid momentum with xmen and deadpool now.

The possibility for redemption of De Palma passed LOOOOONG before Black Dahlia was filmed.

femme fatale's pretty great bro (,,,2002 wow lol). i still have to see passion but he seems hit or miss now considering that got pretty decent reviews (never mind no it didn't, holy shit they tanked it, but then they did the same for femme fatale.)
depalma is one of those review-proof directors for me looking at some of these RT scores.

Peter David is awesome. Im saying PD Hulk had entire issues where the Hulk never showed up. But when he did it was serious business. PD knew Hulk was about Bruce Banner first snd not tpucal superheroics. He has a very human story to tell which is what Ang Lee tried to do. Sadly, it didnt work out too well.

Femme Fatale is what the British would call "a load of fuckin' wank"
Mission: Impossible was the last above-average movie he made, and that was 1996. Been a string of dogshit ever since, getting runnier as it goes.
It probably needs a strong gross from Japan, but it could happen.
Two extra weeks in China helps a little bit. That should be good for an extra $10-15M. I think the film could do $85M+ domestic still. Inside Out made another $60M after this point and Zootopia is beating it every day now.
So $335M domestic and $225M+ China gives you $560M. The film was sitting at $265M overseas as of Monday. That's $825M.
Japan, plus holdovers in the UK and elsewhere need to cover the other $175M.
$900M is locked. Until we see what Japan brings, $925-950M seems like a safer bet.

Based on noon projections, BvS looking at $61m this weekend according to Deadline.
Of course, Deadline isn't the best at forecasting weekends.

$18.5M Friday with some kids still out of school isn't going to translate to $61M.

Considering how this film plays, wouldn't it be closer to something like
18.5
17
14
(which would be 49.5, which I'm now realizing is probably too steep)
It is a Deadline noon projection. I wouldn't be that surprised if the Friday is closer to $16M
I'd guess high 50s if the Friday holds though. Saturday will increase.

It would certainly increase tomorrow
Something like
18.5
24
15.5
Assuming 18.5 held (which I wouldn't put much stock in but that would be a good Friday)

Hm? I just mean 18.5 would actually be a good Friday number all things considered.

Just watched it the other day myself. It was cute, but definitely not up to the normal Pixar standards.
However, it was a drop dead gorgeous tech demo. The environments were stunning.
My niece who is 3.5 enjoyed it more than Inside Out.

This is what I'm really curious about.
I'm not even going to bother trying Inside Out with her for a couple of years. If it doesn't feature animals in some way, she's not really interested.
Ya, I can see why it beat out Inside Out for the tech oriented animation awards. I agree with earlier criticism that the photorealistic environments clash with the really cartoony dinosaurs.
Curious if it will increase? I think it's a given that Saturday will increase over Friday unless I'm completely reading your post incorrectly.

It was reported that 30% of schools are still on break today, so that could be a cause for concern about projecting not taking into account higher matinee figures due to that.
$18.5M, if it holds, would indeed be a solid number for BvS. $2M for GND2 though... it'd be safe to say God is a flop.

...but what if it's not!
(this post brought to you by the guy who was like "but what if it got 3 weekends of 100mil in a row, though?")
Seriously though, are there any recent examples of poorly performing big budget films in the last 10 years that DIDN'T see a Friday-Saturday increase on the 2nd weekend?
It's the slump, the drop that turns a good domestic total poor
I doubt there is without holidays messing things up. Like Fourth of July on Saturday is bad for movies.

Transformers 2 fell 40% on its second Saturday.
I'm cheating, it's second Saturday was July 4th, a historically weak day for the BO when on the weekend.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
If there is a "legitimate" example, it's probably a film that is very female driven, since they tend to have very weak Sat increases. For instance, Fifty Shades went up only 11%, Sex and the City went up only 10%, etc.
