I didn't love it.
I didn't hate it that much, either.
The women I was with were also familiar with the stage adaptation, and they were pretty meh on the film.

Baby Driver has now moved up from August 11 to June 28.
One day an Edgar Wright movie will make decent money, but sadly it looks like we'll have to keep waiting.

Not surprised about Beauty and the Beast's legs at all.
A romantic fantasy from Disney literally prints money. People have been starving for a Disney romance played straight after Frozen, Moana, Zootopia, The Jungle Book, etc. have been good about subverting the typical romance seen in Disney films. I can only now imagine how much The Little Mermaid will do once that's adapted.

You forgot Spider-Man being released the week after
What is the budget of Ghost in the Shell?
I think it can do $260 million ww. I hope for $300 million +.
They will highly likely have another Marvel Studios movie. They'll have 3 of them that year for sure. Maybe Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Has Power Rangers seriously only made $1.35m in Europe/Australia?

So happy with Logan's success, what an incredible film.
what does everyone think its worldwide run will end with?
Think $650 mill is achievable or closer to $600 mill

My guess would be around $625M. It could go a bit higher or lower depending on Japan and late legs. A $200M+ bump from The Wolverine. More if we factor in weaker exchange rates in 2017 vs 2013.
Huh? It made $19m international. I don't know how much in Europe, but yes it only managed $1.35m in Australia. In Australian dollars, so only US$1.03m. It opened fourth behind B&B, Boss Baby, and Life.
It managed to top the box office in New Zealand (B&B hasn't opened there yet) for an astounding ... NZ$284k = US$200k.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
$120M
Where was that announced? I was looking for a figure the other day.
$120M is on the lower side of what I would have guessed based on the visuals. $250-300M WW wouldn't be a disaster on that budget.
Maybe China will save GitS.
Someone mentioned it'll do better than Godzilla, so I'm sure that's considered a success.

$120M from the Financial Times.
I think overseas market will play well for the film, domestic is where it's an unknown at this point - we'll see in a couple of days. It's a recurring theme with Paramount films: low domestic results, good overseas numbers.

Say what you will about all the other stuff, but GITS really looks baller visually
Which is crazy since the director's only other film was Snow White and the Huntsman.
That's like a Scott Derrickson-level leap.
Thanks for the link.
I could see Ghost in the Shell having a similar run to Robocop if you bumped the domestic and OS totals up by 30% or so. Their Chinese partner took on 10% of the risk/revenues overseas I believe. I would imagine that it will be in their interest to have the film perform well in China. GitS also looks like the sort of thing that China would like.

Snow White and the Huntsman may not have been a great film, but it looked damn good. Not a surprise that his second film looks good too.
Hell, just look at Joseph Kosinki. His first film was TRON: Legacy, and the Oblivion. Sure, TRON looked better, but Oblivion was still big budget but significantly less than TRON.

I think guys like Joseph Kosinski and Rupert Sanders are in the Michael Bay, Zack Snyder, David Fincher camp of starting out in music videos and commercials where you have 30 seconds to three minutes to make something visually arresting. But nowadays where it's typical to see director jump from Cop Car to Spider-Man and Kings of Summer to Kong Skull Island, a director going from Halo commercials to Tron Legacy is what it is. Although there's an argument to made for Fincher starting with Alien 3, the poor experience had him starting small after that.
All that said, Snow White and the Huntsman already used imagery influenced by Princess Mononoke, so the guy managing to translate GitS visuals to live action isn't too surprising.

Around $6.9M for Beauty and the Beast on Monday, down ~49% from last Monday.
If the rest of the week is similar, we are looking at a little shy of $350M going into next weekend. That means BatB could possibly crack the $400M domestic mark in 17 days. Age of Ultron took 24 days.
Here are the second Mondays for the other March-May films with opening weekends within 10% or so of BatB's $175M.
Age of Ultron - $5.4M
Civil War - $4.75M
Iron Man 3 - $4.6M
The Hunger Games - $4.5M
Batman v Superman - $3.2M
The Jungle Book made $4.2M on its second Monday.
None of the films between Age of Ultron ($460M) and The Dark Knight ($535M) opened in the spring for a meaningful comparison. The Avengers made $7.9M on its second Monday, but I think it is clear that BatB isn't going to crack $600M.

Thats actually really not so much
That might be getting split between less than 10 people tho

Seems like a lot to me. It's around a fifth of what Disney would have taken from Civil War's WW box office. That's not counting what they got paid up front for acting either.

Really enjoyed the movie.
It closed the loop on the old saga, including wolverine, but it opened it up for the new mutants very nicely. My main complaint about it is the gratuitous overuse of "fuck" and "motherfucker".
Will this make more or less money than The Nice Guys.

It is impossible to make less money than The Nice Guys
Did you even see Nice Guys in the theatre, or did you save your money for Warcraft and Tarzan instead?

Deadline is saying Marvel/Disney made close to ~193MM profit from CW (including DVD/Blu Ray, but not merchandise). Actors/Directors etc took in 95MM on top of what they were already paid, which is a lot. If they took in nothing, Marvel would have had close to 300MM in profit for the movie. For comparison, deadline is saying participation for Dr. Strange was 18MM off 122MM profit, FF was 30MM off 164MM profit, and SS was 35MM off 158MM profit. BvS participation was just as bad, 55MM off 105MM profit.
I don't know what "residuals and over the top" and "interests and overhead" means, but they add up too. Deadline includes those costs along with the actual production and advertising cost.

Just checked and there are now eleven tickets sold for the local Thursday GitS IMAX shows, six for the RPX shows. No weekend times yet.
Please do yourself a favour and watch the cinematic masterpiece that is The Lenged of Tarzan.
That is what he calls the Bronson bump?

The Bronson Bump will eventually be shorthand for the fall of civilization, but we don't need to be concerned about that for another six or seven months.
