Was just looking at box office mojo to see how pirates was faring (I know I'm one of the few that want it to make enough to justify another)

Incredible to see that Disney hold the 1st, 3rd and 5th highest grossing worldwide this year with $2.6 billion between the 3 of them with Cars 3, Spider-Man, Thor, Coco and Star Wars still to come

Isn't Spider-Man all Sony? I thought Disney wasn't getting any of the profits from that movie.

Robocop was July 1987


However, audiences also had to endure Jaws IV: The Revenge, and Superman IV: Quest for Peace that July.

Gremlins has the same MPAA rating as Finding Dory

EDIT: I know that Gremlins was one of the films directly responsible for the PG13 rating, but I still find it funny that people were taking their 4 year olds to that.

2nd Update, 12:38PM: Disney’s Cars 3 will lead today with an estimated $21M based off of matinees, which is higher than the $19.7M that 2006’s Cars made on day one and just under the $25.7m that Cars 2 deposited. One industry estimate sees the Pixar film at $57.5M, but with Saturday matinees and Father’s Day, plus its fresh reviews, it won’t be a surprise to see Cars 3 pace past $60M.

Lionsgate Code Black/Morgan Creek’s All Eyez on Me is very strong and could send Wonder Woman to the No. 3 spot for the weekend. Both are respectively at $35M and $37.5M as of right now, but the notion is that the Tupac Shakur movie could pull ahead. Most of tracking saw All Eyez in the low $20M for the weekend, but one rival major studio’s estimates saw the film at $25M-$30M given the pic’s momentum in advance ticket sales. Those projections were considered to be too aggressive, but now they’re more than a reality. Today is Tupac’s birthday (he would have been 46) and Lionsgate is wisely harnessing the rapper’s fanbase by opening All Eyez today.

There’s also a draw at the weekend box office between Entertainment Studios’ 47 Meters Down and Sony’s Rough Night which are each looking at between $10M-$11M over three-days per industry estimates. The Mandy Moore-Claire Holt-Matthew Modine shark thriller is slightly ahead of the Scarlett Johansson romp film, $4.25M to $4M today. 47 Meters Down made more than Rough Night last night, $735K to $700K, and those figures are rolled into both titles opening day figures. Reviews for 47 Meters Down have settled down in the 54% Rotten range. 47 Meters Down has the added benefit of being a PG-13 genre film, which is an easy grab for those younger women who may not be able to get into Rough Night auditoriums.
Click to expand...
Would be excellent for All Eyez, but I'm a little skeptical since it will certainly be very frontloadex.

47 Meters Down must have had a focused campaign somewhere that I didn't notice. That, or people are just really starved for a horror film right now.

Would be insane if Down made it to the top 5, it's production is really funny. Not the movie making itself but after it was finished.

I can't believe Rough Night is going to bomb so badly. They really dropped the ball on advertising it -- I saw nothing basically. It's at 49% on RT so it's at least relatively decent.. should be a $20m movie at a minimum with that cast.

Rough Night is having trouble beating a shark film that was supposed to be a Direct-to-video release...

I bet Scarlett is glad to have an Avengers film next spring!

$37.5M for Wonder Woman would be a 36% drop.

Also, industry trackers always sleep on films that appeal to the African American market.

And both Harry and the Hendersons and Predator co-starred Kevin Peter Hall in costume.

Marketing has been terrible for it. I feel like this could have been a solid hit otherwise.

The studio made a point to keep this film on a low, strict budget with an estimated cost of $20M with a thrifty digital P&A spend.

Looks like Sony wanted to keep Rough Night's cost as low as possible. I don't think thrifty should ever describe advertising.

High five on the Live Free or Die Hard love.

Part of me hopes that Bruce does one more Die Hard to make up for the last one, which is really the only bad one in the series.

Yep, there is definitely a market out there for it. I still might see it this weekend if I have a chance as I love the cast.

But at least at a $20m budget, I don't think it will be considered some sort of huge flop. That's a small budget and marketing was few and far between.
