If this trend continues, whatever DCCU film comes out after Wonder Woman/Justice League will have a 2nd weekend hold better than 60%.

Hotel Translyvania and its sequel were September releases, and both did relatively well at the box office.
Well, there it is (or may be).

pretty good get for them with cate blanchett though. taiki waititi i don't get the hype really. unless he's writing it as well. then it could be funny

Just checked and apparently he didn't write the script, but he did add some things. It can go anywhere, really.
How is it cold? The half of Thor on Earth is fun with some absolute shite on Asgars. Thor 2 fixes that by being shite on Earth and Asgard. And somehow thought taking away Hemsworth comic timing moments was a good idea.
And while Thor 3 has a great cast, I can't see Urban getting much to do and given Hopkins looks bored on screen in these films it's not encouraging to have Blanchett there - especially after she all but admitted she's doing a film her kids can watch.
I mean I'd love to be wrong, but making two mediocre Thor films back to back was some mean feat.

not a summer release, but John Wick 2 is gonna be there and he's bringing Morpheus
Its directed by one half of the duo behind the first one, the other guy is doing a cold war spy thriller with Charlize Theron

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Nerve is the surprise hit of the summer (and Tarzan) box-office wise.
I thought this film would bomb.
It's going to finish it's run at close to $40M.
On the limited release side, Hell or High Water is looking great with almost $200k at 32 theaters.

The Equalizer 2 is where it's at.

Kinda a shame how both Star Trek and Ghostbusters could have been decent hits if their studios didn't throw an outrageous amount of money at them. Star Trek has never in its 37 years on screen performed well enough to justify that budget and $150m for a McCarthy/Feig comedy is just straight wtf.

Both Bourne & Trek are getting better holds than expected.
It seems audiences are foregoing Suicide Squad for better programming.

Wonder how much of that will be refunded to parents who took their kids to this expecting a family friendly animated movie...
I need someone to edit this to read "DC fanboy tears" or something (mostly because the world needs more Chris Evans gifs).Well, there it is (or may be).
That would just be peachy.
So, with a few weeks left in the summer season, I think we are starting to have a clearer picture of this summer's top 10.
My Guess:
1) Finding Dory - $480M
2) Captain America: Civil War - $408M
3) The Secret Life of Pets - $365-375M
4) Suicide Squad - $285-305M (still early)
5) Star Trek Beyond - $165-175M
6) Jason Bourne - $165-175M
7) X-Men Apocalypse - $155M
Unless Sausage Party has a 5x OW multiplier, these are the top 7. Star Trek and Bourne are too close to call.
8) Ghostbusters - $125-128M
9) Central Intelligence - $126M
10) The Legend of Tarzan - $125M
These three are too early to call as well. It looks like Tarzan will fail to top Central intelligence unless it gets a late expansion. Ghostbusters could end up slighty ahead of both or slightly behind.
Sausage Party and Bad Moms are possible upsets for the bottom 3 spots, but it's too early to call either of those.
This is the End did get nearly a 5x OW multiplier, but something like Sausage party will probably have more of a novelty effect.

Hopefully very little, they're quite upfront about it being Rated R
Star Trek almost put me to sleep. I wish only bad box office for it

The first 30 mins were great, then it fell apart, I agree.
It's now clear that The Jungle Book will squeak past Deadpool domestically. However, Disney won't have a chance at sweeping the Top 5, because it looks like Secret Life of Pets is going to pass both of them.
Unless Rogue One shits the bed worse than anyone expects, Deadpool won't make the domestic Top 5 this year.

Pets, zootopia, JB and deadpool were all incredible success stories that I did not expect.
Equalizer was so good. I liked John Wick more, but to me they were both great. The interest in John Wick being so much higher than the interest in Equalizer seemed odd to me.
I'm thrilled we're getting sequels to both.
This year's top 10 cut off will be very high. Just throwing in Rogue One, you have 9 films over or near $300M (depending on Suicide Squad).
Sing looks like another animated film that will clear $250M with ease if it is halfway decent.
Sing looks like a cynical parody of every non-Pixar CG animated movie.
It's still animals singing pop songs.
The R rating is stupid though, if kids shouldn't see it don't rely on their parents not being idiots.
I live in the UK, we have a "12A" rating which has the same restrictions as R but we also have higher ratings

If Moana isn't the number one movie in the world I'm going to claim racism against all Hawaiians
I'm sure it will do well, but I don't know if it will be closer to Tangled or Zootopia.
I sure would like to know which studio's surveying revealed an audience demand for a fucking CHiPs movie.
You already have Aquaman.
You would

THAT DON'T COUNT

Well, there it is (or may be).
WB might have panicked after the 2nd day drop during OW. I don't think they're panicking with the DOM numbers at this point.
Legs won't be great but SS will creep towards somewhere around MoS numbers (DOM) which is pretty good. How many people thought this was a 300M+ lock a few months ago? WB may be kicking themselves for leaving money out there with the poor reviews but can't hate the total gross at this point.
I had Pets hitting 300M DOM but getting 360M+ is impressive. Had a bigger than expected impact on Dory's legs which prevented it from hitting 500M.
Man, I really want to believe that TS4 can be good, but I don't know how you can reasonably expect people to overlook how great an ending TS3 had for the series as a whole. I just don't know about it.
Oh, don't worry the goal post has been moving from it's going to crash on the weekend itself, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. You won't get many people to admit that the total gross is anything decent rather than an outright bomba.
