My brand is sky high
What do we think on final totals, like 275?
Bobby once derailed one of these threads so badly that it had to be locked. He lost his right to complain
Back on topic, Bourne continues to hold worse than Star Trek on Monday. Even The Bourne Legacy will end up with better legs. Bad Moms is having very good drops. I wonder if it will squeak past the $100M mark.

284M.
That highly accurate estimate was done by taking MoS and BvS multiplier and putting SS right in the middle.

$284m is pretty good. I think a lot of people including WB were expecting it to break $300m domestically though.
What's it looking like worldwide? Is it doing well overseas?

WB probably isn't expecting that much

I loved that movie.
Deadline is guessing a $51-54M second weekend for Suicide squad (low 60s drop).
Sausage Fest is tracking in the high teens to low 20s, but Deadline thinks that tracking could be too low (as has been the case with other well received adult comedies). Sausage Fest apparently cost $19M, so it shouldn't have much trouble recouping costs.
Pete's Dragon is tracking in the mid 20M range. It's budget was quoted at $60M. Perhaps Disney should have gone with that same budget for its Alice Sequel. They could have probably ditched Depp as a cost saving measure without much impact on the film's (shitty) performance.

Huh...I thought Sky High was poorly received critically. Guess I must be thinking of the other one with Tim Allen.
I don't think WB had 300M+ as a lock. Probably the best case scenario leading up to the OW.
If you go a few months back I bet most thought it wouldn't clear 300M. Early estimates pegged the OW closer to GoTG or slightly higher.

If Wonder Woman tanks and JL does around BvS/SS money the lesson DC will learn is to slap Batman and/or the Joker into every film even if its just 1 scene but edit the trailer to make em look like a major part.
Eh, I can see tons of women getting behind it. That's an untapped resource for Superhero movies.
Chris Pine is BO gold.
The best they could likely hope for is Ant-Man level BO performance - $180M DOM, $340M Foreign
But that's gonna be a much harder sell overseas. Even if WW cracks $200M DOM, I can't see it doing proportionally as well abroad.
Should just rename it Loki 4. Maybe Hulk 3 after he carries the next film.
A lot of comic films already get a 40% or higher female audience, so it's not that untapped. I don't think a female lead is going to radically change the demographic who enjoys superhero films.
Look at what happened to Mad Max last year. Even Ghostbusters captured a weaker than expected female audience.
I think we're severely underestimating a well received Wonder Woman film. A feminist cultural icon having her first movie in a climate that's especially kind to Marvel/DC films is surely going to perform great if it's a critical hit.
Like, what are we basing these low expectations on? Like I'm not expecting it to do Justice League numbers if it's well received, but a well received Wonder Woman should do way better than Ant Man imo.
Doesn't the Thor franchise do exceptionally well with female demographics? I wonder why.
Based on what?
Based on what?
huh, I could have sworn I read that the Thor audience was more female compared to the rest of the MCU.

What hurts WW is placing it among other huge blockbusters. Had it an emptier spot, I agree the appeal is limited next to the two DC films this year. I'd go as far to say Lego Batman will take more.
I think Lego Batman is almost guaranteed to get better reviews than any DC film in the previous 5 years.
2017 (and every other year after) is too packed with blockbusters and wannabe blockbusters.
I would say move it to BvS' slot, but even March is packed next year:
The Shack (LG/S) - 3/3
Untitled Wolverine (Fox) - 3/3
Wilson (Fox) - 3/3
Kong: Skull Island (WB) - 3/10
Baby Driver (Sony) - 3/17
Beauty and the Beast (2017) (BV) - 3/17
Untitled Blumhouse Tilt Horror (HTR) - 3/17
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (WB) - 3/24
Life (2017) (Sony) - 3/24
Power Rangers (2017) (LGF) - 3/24
The Boss Baby (Fox) - 3/31
Ghost in the Shell (2017) (Par.) - 3/31
The Zookeeper's Wife (Focus) - 3/31
Studios are going to have to break the September taboo sooner or later.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
God that's a busy schedule
Will limit to Beauty and the Beast and Power Rangers, and maybe Ghost in the Shell depending of reviews.

Honestly forgot Wolverine 3 is happening. Wanted to ask when they'll shoot it if it's out in March. Turns out they've been for two months now.

I know little about the movie nor am I particularly hyped for it, but I'm sure it will be a decent romp in theaters. Plus it's Jackman's farewell to the character. I've loved his tenure with the claws. Should be great seeing what I assume will be the last ever time we get Patrick Stewart Xavier and Jackman Wolverine again.
part of me wishes they just made it a future xmen movie. I loved the ending of DOFP a lot.

I'm intrigued by the R-rating and story it's supposedly taking inspiration from. Not so much for the violence, but if they can keep it a low key story and avoid whatever the hell the ending of The Wolverine went for, I'm into it. In my head I'm imagining Children of Men with Wolverine.
I was like, wtf is Baby Driver. Whoa, a new Edgar Wright film! Awesome!
definitely under

super-high chance it will be the best action/comedy movie of the year honestly but going up against a behemoth like Beauty and the Beast sadly makes me think under 100.
cast of Baby Driver is la flame. Kevin Spacey, Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm and freakin Jamie Foxx with his script is set for comedy gold.
oh right. I forgot about the r-rating and old man logan. should be cool. I think X-23 might be introduced as well??
Maybe the dust up with Marvel gave his name enough cred to get it over the hump. Wright fans need to stop torrenting his shit.
What's the point of Old Man Logan though without Venom-Rex or hillbilly hulks
If "From the writer of ANT-MAN!" shows up in the trailer, I'm gonna laugh so hard
