Rth updated BvS to $15M. There's some confusion as to whether it's an April Fool's joke or not, but... ummm yeah.

 

[kswiston]

if not an April Fools, Bobby might get his 70%

Rth updated BvS to $15M. There's some confusion as to whether it's an April Fool's joke or not, but... ummm yeah.

If it's accurate, possibly looking at a sub $50 million weekend?

OUCH.

 

[3N16MA]

15M would be a clusterfuck.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Rth: "everyone got wrong today it seems BvS looking like only going to do about 15, Zoo 5.5"

 

[MHWilliams]

Rth updated BvS to $15M. There's some confusion as to whether it's an April Fool's joke or not, but... ummm yeah.

Jesus. If that's correct, it looks like the legs on BvS just aren't there.

 

[Obliterator]

If BvS really only did $15 thats a crazy ass drop

[3N16MA]

BvS would be heading into Twilight drops.

 

[kswiston]

deadline is saying $15.5-17M now

EDIT: Beaten.

 

[Dalek]

 

[Replicant]

From Kswis' favorite series, Divergent: Insurgent

Theo James really is the only thing worth staring at in this series.

Wait, the final BO result for this week is even lower than the expected? lel

 

[3N16MA]

Hulk may finally break free of the shame.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Wkd BO 04•01-03•16 - Tell me, does BvS bleed? Yes, a lot

 

[Branduil]

On a lark I looked up Alien vs. Predator numbers and it dropped 67.6 percent on its second weekend. Can BvS beat AvP?

 

[munchie64]

 

[3N16MA]

WB better hope it's 17M and some miracle happens over the weekend.

 

[vinnygambini]

Solid holds for

and

Bvs

 

[Chamber]

Rth updated BvS to $15M. There's some confusion as to whether it's an April Fool's joke or not, but... ummm yeah.

 

[GhaleonEB]

3-day cume: $51M-$56.7M (-66% to -69%)

That's one hell of a revision. Remember that caveat from their (worthless) matinee forecasts, predicting $61m for the weekend? Yeah.

Might come down further, too, everyone over estimated Sunday last week.

Zootopia down less than 20%, amazing.

It's fascinating to see a film with great word of mouth and long legs running in tandem to a film with the exact opposite. They're going to get to similar totals despite Zootopia opening to half what BvS did.

 

[Branduil]

Seriously, though... $15 million would mean sub-$50 million for the weekend, wouldn't it?

 

[kswiston]

Deadline's weekend projections are too high for the Friday range.

 

[Cipherr]

Civil War will join the two billion club I think.

I love their movies but I feel like some of you are on some strong shit. Civil War will hopefully be good, but I would be happy to see it crest 800m let alone a billion for a Cap America move.

2 billion? LMFAO. No words.

 

[Future Foundation]

Holy shit, 15?

Part of Tris' simulation in Insurgent, it's amazing.

Now I've got to watch Insurgent. After I finish the first one.

At least I didn't lay any twerk video bets on this one.

Has anyone actually had to do one of those?

 

[kswiston]

Winter Soldier made $700M. Disney would be about as happy with $800M for Civil War as WB would be with $770M for BvS.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

It seems my suspicions about projections being inflated due to kids being off school was well founded. If it ends up at $15M for Friday, it's missing a 2.0 multiplier.

Deadline update



He may not be joking. :|

God's not dead 2 is doing way worse than the first one, the first weekend for God's not Dead 1 ended with $9,217,013 in 780 theaters,

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Rth updated BvS to $15M. There's some confusion as to whether it's an April Fool's joke or not, but... ummm yeah.

No way

 

[Wingfan19]

Is Friday or Saturday the bigger day for movies? I've never really followed this stuff.

 

[Prompto]

Wait are you telling me there's an actual chance Deadpool ends up with a higher domestic gross than BvS?

 

[kurahador]

Conspiracy theorists gonna go nuts if Civil War reviews well in the coming weeks.

 

[Chamber]

Has anyone actually had to do one of those?

The only existing twerk bet is on whether Avatar 2 will outgross it's predecessor. I might lay down another one as we get closer to Civil War.

 

[3N16MA]

To a smaller degree it happend last year when Inside Out out grossed Minions. Everyone thought Minions was a lock to be the highest grossing animated film domestic and OS. Inside out opened smaller but still squeaked out a larger domestic total.

 

[kswiston]

It seems my suspicions about projections being inflated due to kids being off school was well founded. If it ends up at $15M for Friday, it's missing a 2.0 multiplier.

$15M isn't even double Thursday. Even GI Joe managed 2.12x Thursday.

Kids being off school is going to flatten Sat as well (compared to typical increases).

 

[kswiston]

Wait are you telling me there's an actual chance Deadpool ends up with a higher domestic gross than BvS?

If BvS actually does $15M this Friday, the chance is like 90%

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

$15M isn't even double Thursday. Even GI Joe managed 2.12x Thursday.

Kids being off school is going to flatten Sat as well (compared to typical increases).

Sorry, should have made myself clearer. By "Missing a 2.0 multiplier" I meant it won't make double its OW for domestic total. With $15M it'll be a struggle to hit $48M for the weekend and it could end up with a total gross below Spider-Man 3.

 

[3N16MA]

Conspiracy theorists gonna go nuts if Civil War reviews well in the coming weeks.

Won't be surprising considering the Russo brothers are responsible for one of the MCU best films.

 

[hodayathink]

Saturday, especially if it's not opening weekend.

 

[Discotheque]

The only existing twerk bet is on whether Avatar 2 will outgross it's predecessor. I might lay down another one as we get closer to Civil War.

Avatar 2 will make less domestic but somehow even more internationally than the first

James Cameron da gawd needs to come back to school many of these plebs once again

 

[CaviarMeths]

I love their movies but I feel like some of you are on some strong shit. Civil War will hopefully be good, but I would be happy to see it crest 800m let alone a billion for a Cap America move.

2 billion? LMFAO. No words.

It's an Avengers movie minus Thor and Hulk plus Spider-Man.

$1bil is the floor.

 

[Future Foundation]

The only existing twerk bet is on whether Avatar 2 will outgross it's predecessor. I might lay down another one as we get closer to Civil War.

Is anyone actually gonna remember that bet by the time Avatar 2 comes out?

 

[CassSept]

Sub $50 sounds just too absurd to be true.

[citation needed]

But the split. Don't you see the split. MCU has a far greater appeal internationally than SW.

Can't believe this argument persisted for so long, TPM was second worldwide and third overseas at release, SW splits are abnormal because it just does that well in the US. Of course Cameron is in a league of his own for the most part, but it's high time this argument dies.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The weight will finally be lifted from Hulk's shoulders.

 

[dabig2]

Was wondering what was up with all the new posts. $15M Friday is quite bad. Considering the only new release is basically God's Not Deader, I don't really see what people are going to the theaters to see this weekend. Are they just rewatching Zootopia?

 

[Branduil]

Avatar 2 will make less domestic but somehow even more internationally than the first

James Cameron da gawd needs to come back to school many of these plebs once again

Going to be extremely difficult to make $2 billion overseas with today's exchange rate, to say the least.

 

[Bluth54]

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the meetings WB executives are having about what they're going to do about the DCEU moving forward.

 

[kswiston]

April is not a month where people feel the need to go to the movies for the sake of it.

 

[Chamber]

Is anyone actually gonna remember that bet by the time Avatar 2 comes out?

Avatar 2 releasing in this decade might be worth another twerk video bet itself.

 

[vinnygambini]

A 70%+ drop would be similar to China's 2nd Friday despite keeping all of its screens in North America, with no new openers.

Pretty crazy.

 

[Chamber]

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the meetings WB executives are having about what they're going to do about the DCEU moving forward.

They're going to huddle up and say a prayer for Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman.
