I've never heard of When the Bough breaks until now.
0% on rotten tomatoes? Yikes.

Apparently SS has made over 700m WW: https://twitter.com/DavidAyerMovies/status/774999797480554496
Edit: beaten by Harley.
Ayer is a fan of the round-up. You will probably have to wait until Tuesday for an official over $700M announcement.
Legs continue to be pretty good though. Japan's opening might be higher than BvS. I think that the domestic take will be near or a little over $325M. We could see Suicide Squad get close to $750M.
$735M is looking like a lock.

I know what you mean, but saying the guy who MADE THE MOVIE isn't "official" is kinda... really
LOL at Florence Foster Jenkins narrowly outgrossing Ben-Hur. Who thought that movie was a good idea?
In its very modest defense, that's based on only 9 reviews.
He did the same thing with the $600M mark. Announced it on a Friday when official numbers for the Thursday were still $10-15M short. I mean, it doesn't make a difference since it's a done deal, but WB's official estimate through today is $699.4M.

Congrats on Suicide Squad for its great success!
I've only seen the movie once, even though I've spent approximately $310 dollars on it. I NEED to see it again.
God, I want this jacket sooooooooooo bad
Hot Topic keeps selling out of it in my size online and I've hunted for it in local places and can never find it ;-;

I hope Don't Breathe crawls its way to $100m. 10 Cloverfield Lane had good legs and made another $17m after weekend 3 though, so that's pretty unlikely.

Sony doing good with their cheaper films.

With Halloween around the corner it might get a second life. Does it have much competition in the horror genre coming up?

Blair Witch next weekend. Probably a teenie jump scare flick with a pretty white girl in her panties in the trailer or two as well, but not sure.
Yup. Took him 20 years' worth of inflation to do it, but still a fun stat. I doubt he is losing sleep over not being in the ID4 sequel.
Speaking of Suicide Squad, I finally went to see the film this weekend during a 12:40 matinee. My wife and I were 67% of the attendance at that showing.
Overall, I think that the film deserved the reputation that it received. There are some likeable aspects there, but just a ton of missteps as well. One thing that stuck out to me was the unearned sense of camaraderie between the squad by the end of the film. I get that all ensemble films try to sell the group bonding thing within a runtime of 2 hours, but most don't feature a cast of psychopaths who have worked together for all of 30 hours before defeating the big bad.

An animated film about animals not doing well? What is this? The Wild Life made 24 million so far.

Sully is gonna be another $100m domestic earner on a medium-size budget for WB. Like Me Before You and Central Intelligence, they gotta feel pretty darn good about that.
Its a good movie, too, so that helps!

It's a low budget Belgian film that probably should have gone straight to video/netflix in North America.

$700 million for SS is pretty good I'd have to think, especially considering this is without China
Also whats up with The Shallows getting that huge boost out of nowhere? Which markets did it release in?

The Shallows opened in China and made $8.3M
Star Trek Beyond is doing much worse in China than I would have guessed. About $11M this weekend, and $53M total. It might end up finishing in the $65M range.
Me Before You ended up breaking $200M worldwide on its $20M production budget. Ghostbusters cost 7x as much and will end up $20M ahead worldwide.
Over in Japan, the anime Your Name matched its already large second weekend in weekend #3, and seems destined for $150M+. I am not an expert on the Japanese market, but that may be the biggest local animated film of all time there NOT directed by Miyazaki.
Toldja! i knew that Sully would over perform/break out. I think Warners did a great job connecting with the American Sniper audience and over the coming weeks they will turn out to see this picture too.
While it won't do 'Sniper money' it will continue Warners current good run at the box office.
So much for that fourth film. Weak international and domestic grosses are bad enough but when one of your franchises doesn't do well in China either, when you're a studio in real trouble and desperate for Chinese investment, that's an outright disaster.
Though released by Warners this was a co-pro that was co-financed by MGM. This basically means that all the profits that MGM are going to make off this will be used to mop up the considerable red ink from Ben Hur.

I'm not suggesting it's good, but When the Bough Breaks is aimed at black audiences, and RT scores seem to correlate poorly with audience reception for films aimed at that demo. Probably why so few reviewers bothered to review When the Bough Breaks, despite it being a wide release in over 2000 venues.
Damn, MGM found a way to cover their ass after all. Paramount stays losing on that venture.

I would argue that those viewers are a victory for a super-liberal franchise inside the very much still communist (people's) republic of China.
Anyone thinking that just making random movies that must appeal to each and every audience everywhere regardless of ideology or culture is a fool in terms of expectations. Money being nice is one thing, but entertainment (or "art") without ideology is inconceivable.
That said, the lack of a US domestic and overseas BO appeal for Beyond is disappointing.
Do wonder if they're going to wing it for the fourth or not. Beyond is probably the best Trek movie in two decades, with Discovery hitting next year. It's possible the influx in brand awareness is enough to warrant a fourth anyway. And they were quick to announce it too (even if that doesn't mean anything).
Oh the target audience knew what Bough was going to be about, and it wasn't quality.
They went there for the jokes.
Like I said to laugh and have a good time.
That would require them to get accurate budgets for both the production and marketing in the first place, which is not happening anytime soon.
Studios rarely give out break even numbers. The only time I can remember that happening in recent history was that Paul Feig said in an interview that Ghostbusters needed $500 million world wide on the low end to break even.
If you want a rough idea, a film need to make double its reported production budget domestically, or three times its reported budget worldwide to be relatively certain of breaking even. That doesn't work for 100% of films, but it's close enough.
