[BronsonLee]

Whoooo 38 mil

Of course, Box Office GAF is mostly us old fogies and whatever the hell BronsonLee is.

[Son Of D]

The Mummy.

Somehow I had forgot about that film.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Deadline now updating projections as they usually do WW now at 98M+ (I think 100M is game)

Bomba. Cancel the sequel. No one wants to see a woman superhero. End of debate.

 

[broncobuster]

Wonder Woman's Thurs/Friday topping King Arthur's domestic run. Warners to Warners' left.

 

[gamz]

Where's that thread the WB wasn't marketing WW, thus it's a bomb? Or something like that.

That's what you think, meanwhile Swis is the mastermind.

Bronson is Capt Boomerang at best.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Bronson is Capt Boomerang at best.

You want a Boomerang to come back tho.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Bronson is Capt Boomerang at best.

Anyone who uses boomerangs has issues with letting things go.

 

[pestul]

I hope WW continues to do well this weekend. I just checked the late IMAX3D screening for tonight and only 6 seats are reserved thus far.. in contrast I saw GoTG2 the same release day/time and it was >3/4 full for the 10pm Saturday.

They should overthrow you.

 

[Slayven]

This is the rumor:

I smell bullshit

 

[BronsonLee]

I'll chalk up everyone's insubordination to morning sickness

 

[DeathyBoy]

I'll chalk up everyone's insubordination to morning sickness

Seriously? The hell's wrong with you people?

 

[Toa TAK]

It's time for a change in leadership.

 

[SpaceWolf]

[BronsonLee]

OUT, AM I

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

The Mummy.

I hope it is good... I really do.

 

[Future Foundation]

I smell bullshit

Isn't Splash Report the same site that pushed the "Justice League was remade twice" reshoot rumor?

 

[BumRush]

In terms of hitting $100M+, is the $38M good, bad or middle?

 

[ArmGunar]

4th DCEU movie in a row to hit $100M OW ?

 

[DeathyBoy]

OUT, AM I

Back to formula

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's probably gonna be close

 

[jett]

4th DCEU movie in a row to hit $100M OW ?

People seem to be consistently hawngry for DC heroes.

Now imagine if they had actually made good movies before. Who knows what kind of box office they would've got.

 

[kswiston]

In terms of hitting $100M+, is the $38M good, bad or middle?

Middle.

There aren't many good comps for the week after Memorial day. The last comic film on that date was X-Men First Class.

That film did $18M without previews on Friday, and made about $52M on the weekend without previews.

$38.9M would give Wonder Woman about $28M without previews on Friday. Same legs for Wonder Woman would be $81M + $11M previews for $91M total. WW will definitely need a better Saturday hold to hit $100M, but X-films are pretty front-loaded.

Edit: updated for actual fri estimate.

 

[Busty]

I hope it is good... I really do.

As a Cruise fan myself I fully intend to go and see it on Friday but at the same time there's no part of me that thinks this isn't going to get smashed by WW's second weekend.

 

[Chamber]

They'll announce $100M for WW tomorrow even if the actuals are more likely to come in around 98. Regardless, Wonder Woman 2 is going to have a release date set pretty quickly.

And Mummy is going to bomb hard, brehs.

 

[Sub_Level]

Bummed about Alien: Covenant, really enjoyed it and it's easily my 3rd favorite in the series. Hopefully we get a director's cut with the 20 minutes of extra footage Scott cut from the film to hit the 2 hour mark.

Would watch a director's cut.

Its probably more like 5 or 10 minutes of extra footage tho.

 

[ArmGunar]

MOS would be at 800M
BvS would be at 1B
SS not change

WW would be at 110-115M OW I would say if MoS/BvS/SS were good & acclaimed

Friday Studio Estimates:

1) Wonder Woman - $38.9M
2) Captain Underpants - $8M
3) Pirates 5 - $6.2M (-74%) - $99M total

 

[Lord Frieza]

I can't remember the specifics, but I remember thinking that Whedon's idea and views on Wonder Woman were pretty shitty, so I'm glad he never got to make that.

How big of a drop is Pirates compared to the last one?

OST dropped 69% on its second Friday

Do we wanna know what type of drop Baywatch had?

 

[zero_suit]

Do we wanna know what type of drop Baywatch had?

Yes.

 

[DeathyBoy]

So, fun fact, had men been barred from Wonder Woman screenings last night, the film still would have grossed more than the entire opening weekend of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

As a Cruise fan myself I fully intend to go and see it on Friday but at the same time there's no part of me that thinks this isn't going to get smashed by WW's second weekend.

Yeah, I feel very conflicted.

 

[FTF]

Always,

 

[kswiston]

$28M overseas on Friday. $12M of that in China.

Ww total is $86M as of Friday. It should crack $200M this weekend.

I think that this will play out like Logan. Just more domestic and possibly the same or a bit less overseas.

 

[3N16MA]

Basically it will end up like MoS?

I was right! I got one right!
