Box Office 0729-3116 - Bad to the Bourne, Trek continues to give 'er all she's got

That's a good point. WB's own Tarzan got totally slammed (less than 40% on RT?) and it hasn't done it any harm.

Bourne already made back its budget, and it'll continue to grow. Wonder if SA will be out JB this weekend.
What did he mean by this?

Me think general audiences will be more receptive to loud sloppy Suicide Squad than overwrought overhyped BvS
Jason Bourne cost less than $60m to make?

WW Bourne has crossed it's Budget, but it likely isn't profitable yet.

User on BOT is reporting that Suicide Squad may have had the biggest OD ever in Russia, and nearly doubled BvS.
It might be time to consider whether The Joker + Harley are a bigger draw than Batman + Superman.

I don't think the legs will be there for Suicide Squad but the OWs will push $130-140 m+.
It will do great opening weekend because the marketing of the movie has been good. The drop will happen in the 2nd weekend and beyond.

What's the next big release after Suicide Squad? BenHur?
Yeah given the critical reception I wouldn't be surprised if like BvS it has a strong opening and drop like a rock.

Hahahahaha nah
Probably biggest Russian release in local currency which doesnt mean much these days given that their currency exchange is less than half its former level
If rumors of no China release are true, I don't see Suicide Squad hitting BvS levels
I'd hedge bets with Magnificent Seven...otherwise we'll be waiting until Doctor Strange or Fantastical Beasts.

2nd weekend drop gon be *trump voice* HUGE
Listening to folks coming out of the theater and even social media, I don't think people hate the film as much as online
Like they seem to enjoy parts of it and chars... essentially there won't be a negative don't go see it as much as there was for BvS... I expect it to drop like a more traditional CBM like 60-65% or so
I honestly don't know how anyone can come out of that film enjoying any character other than Harley, Joker or will smith.
I'll be surprised if it does well at all!!!
That opening is above every single MCU film that does not feature Iron Man.
Kind of amazing considering Harley is the biggest draw outside of Joker who plays a small role.

What's the budget on that? I bet it tanks, and tanks hard.
If it hits 67M that would give it 47M on Friday minus previews. That would put it within 3M of CW Friday total. Previews would also count for a smaller % of its OD.
Of course this is an August release.

Pretty big dip for Bourne.

Good numbers for SS. Every movie this seems seems to have weird legs, so if SS can can hold decently, it should do OK.
But man, I'm bummed out for Star Trek. They really redeemed themselves after Into Darkness, but I guess releasing this movie during the summer, and following up after the last one, weakened its performance.

I guess all I can say is I'm sure glad they announced the trek to show before beyond released otherwise I doubt we'd be getting it based on the current film's popularity.
I think this finally shows that the majority of people, myself included, do not want old school ST. I thought they'd figured that out already, but I guess I was wrong.

They caved and listened to the vocal minority fanboys, which for the Star Trek franchise is something you should never do since they can't carry a film.

Pegg has right what Paramount is slow to learn.
Mainstream audiences don't want want Star Trek fans consider "Star Trek" on the big screen.
Yup.
Thoughts: I wonder what legs SS will have. Regardless, it'll be financially successful for WB without much trouble. And given that it's expectations are far different from BvS, WB can chalk that up to a win even if WOM tanks it from now on.
Jason Bourne dropping like a rock. Ouch.
Pets still holding on with them legs! Damn!
Ghostbusters' drop is slightly lower than the rest. Odd.

But interestingly A and A- for millennials I believe (Those age groups)
These are the people this film was heavily marketed too and they are also the social groups which drove the film to its obscenely high levels of social media awareness
Just thought it was interesting
The big problem was the scripts sucked. One might be okay if you could get over various issues but it was still pretty weak. Into Darkness was an outright track wreck that made no sense at all. The third wants to be Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not probably, they will be BvS poor.
That's like a C in real grades.
BVS got a B and MoS got an A- for reference.
$175m production budget from what I heard. Marketing is probably around the same if not a bit less.
Never heard of cinemascores, are they a good indicator?
Anyways, googling it learned me that Nine Lives also has a B+, lol.

Viola Davis?
They're exit polls for films of the "everything gets an A" variety. The fact Suicide Squad is getting the same level as Nine Lives is concerning for its word of mouth.

Lets just say this: its very rare and very bad for a comic book movie to get under an A-
I believe every MCU film to date has gotten at least an A-
In all honesty, not really. lol
It really means nothing most of the time. The new X-Men that didn't do well got a A-. Inception got a B+ and so on.
