Star Trek probably would have done a lot better in that timeframe.

September-October used to be prime horror movie release time, but instead they all got released this summer? Hell, a movie like The Nice Guys would've done far better releasing now than early summer months.

i'm sure there will be some decent oscar-bait stuff coming up. looking at the basura summer we've had i'll gladly take it over more popcorn flicks right now.
magnificent seven actually looks like a solid reboot tho.
Wasnt released in china

okay? lol
a decent amount of movies arent. Deadpool did over 400m overseas without China.

If it doesn't reach $700m it won't miss it by much and while it wasn't a record breaker overseas considering that this is the first instalment of a new franchise I think it did do great business.

Give up on that dream. Arrow is dead, it was cancelled after season 2 and replaced by Felicity and Friends with Special Guest Star Stephen Amell as the Green Arrow. Just focus on the awesomeness of The Flash and Supergirl and be grateful Berlanti hasn't let Uncle Guggie loose on them.
Deadpool is the breakout success of this year. You can't use it as a yardstick.
mkay? lol
Any enthusiasm I had for the film died with its pg13 rating. Not entirely sure why as I really liked the True Grit remake, but I think they are going to go too kid friendly and it will blow.

Magnificent Seven (and even Seven Samurai) aren't rated r either. PG 13 is perfectly fine for the type of adventure western they're going for.
Plenty of people gonna get shot but you won't get much in the way of gore

every big comic flick in 16 outgrossed it overseas.
it can tip its hat that if you take out china for XMen , SS would have the bigger overseas take.
What did he mean by this?

Fuqua tricked me on Southpaw, he won't do it again here
Plus Appaloosa and 3:10 to Yuma already came out so Westerns have peaked

Saw Kubo last night, we were the only ones there. Seeing the numbers makes me sad.

at least its drops are pretty small hopefully that continues.
Meh. That was a different time. What worked then really doesn't seem to any more. Can't compare.
I'm sure pg13 is fine if they are going for hyper violent low impact rubbish ala Lone Ranger.
Django Unchained managed $260M overseas. The Revenant made $350M overseas. Not perfect examples, but there aren't many other big budget western films to use as a comparison. The Lone Ranger flopped due to its ridiculous budget, but its $260M worldwide take ($171M overseas) would be fine for The Magnificent Seven.
Probably worth going back and reading an earlier post of mine in this thread to get some perspective.

Also, Suicide will pass $700M. Domestic is looking like another $25-30M. That alone gives you $665M. The International weekend that just passed was $20M. The international take going forward is not going to stall out at less than twice that, especially with Japan left to open. Japan isn't a huge market for superheroes, but it should be good for at least $10M. BvS made $16M there. Deadpool made $19M.

Fuqua makes a lot of shit but eh magnificent seven looks like a fun action western. I'm not asking for anything more
Hopefully he doesn't throw in basura Eminem music or anything. The cast is dope too. So happy to see byung hun Lee as a cowboy again as well

Is that that Fassbender one? I tried.
You know he's gonna chuck some hot beats in there, just look at the trailer

Trailers make it out to be Denzel, Chris Pratt, and five others. Hoping that's just the marketing leaning on those two.

You know damn well how it's going to go
I expect Byung-hun Lee and the Native guy to share about 15 minutes of screen time.

I dont agree with the budget thing, but you have been calm and polite. Dont worry too much about what people on the internet say. I actually wish we had more people that can have discussions without getting impolite.

Most of which will be exhausted in their respective character intros. The rest of their scenes will consist of bad ass kills and timely saves of our heroes Denzel and Pratt. Perhaps one will get a silly catchphrase.

the September opening weekend record is only $48 million? Does M7 take it down?
It could be worse. They could just introduce Byung-hun Lee with two lines worth of dialogue out of nowhere, and have him stand around doing nothing for two hours while they pat themselves on the back over their "diversity".
Like a certain shitty blockbuster.

Outside of box office receipts, I'd bet Civil War made Marvel $200M+ in DVD/Blu/VOD and merchandising, minimum.
Or cast a great actor like Don Cheadle and give him lines like "it's the UN" am I right guys?
Well, the original is pretty much Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and five other guys. Those other guys were awesome actors, but they don't do much in the movie. Each one gets pretty much an intro, one scene of "character development"and a final scene to themselves. The rest of the time they're just the gang.

I don't even know what this is referring to. Every hollywood byung hun Lee movie I guess lol. But yeah I think you guys are getting your hopes high on who gets to speak in this movie
It will play out like the old movies and practically every action ensemble ever made
The leads (denzel and Pratt) get the brunt of the dialogue along with the villain. And everybody else has their comraderie and show off scenes with a few lines here and there. The end.
Marvel didnt spend $250M on marketing for Civil War either. The number floating around for BvS was $160M.
It reminds me of people carefully timing how long each character is in The Avengers and laughing at Thor's minimal screen time.
I think Katana and Croc in Suicide Squad

Really disappointed SS will not touch $6 billion. Failure on all accounts.
Was this movie even advertised well? I didn't hear anything about it until recently.
More money was spent on Kubo TV ads in the US than Suicide Squad TV ads.

It's really sad. I liked it a lot as well. Story is nothing special, but damn it's a joy for the eyes.

I really don't watch TV, but even just being in the same room as TVs that were on I saw commercials maybe a dozen times.
