I liked it too! I even rented it when it came out on digital.
For 99 cents.
And then forgot to watch it. DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
UPI has The Mummy at $185M overseas, which points to a decent weekday take. The Domestic total is a much less rosy $42M.
This weekend is looking like $11-12M domestic to me based on Thursday's take (so basically what B-G-E had, but I think that his guess is on the upper end). Overall, I'm guessing a finish in the $70-75M range domestically, and $350M or so worldwide.
Alien Covenant's first day in China was around $11M, which means that it is finally over A Dog's Purpose worldwide!
We still have a Japanese opening in the future, but I'm thinking that Alien Covenant will have to settle for $225-235M worldwide at this point. Transformers 5 is going to kill it dead in China next weekend. Especially since WOM for Alien is apparently terrible there as well.

Dunno if it's been posted here yet, but the rumor floating around China about Alien Covenant is that six minutes have been edited out and it's all scenes with the Alien critter. Still waiting to hear back from someone over here who has actually seen it to confirm or not.

Korea loves race films? Black Panther to make a billion in korea alone.
TF1 :B- (I actually enjoyed it. Liked more than I disliked)
TF2: F (omg what happened? garbage follow up that was basically everything I disliked about the first film turned up to 10. surely this is just a fluke and the next one will fix this...)
TF3: F (welp, I was wrong. Bay is just shit)
TF4: didn't watch because it's probably complete shit

I'm right there with you. 13 Hours had some great action sequences and I actually got attached to some of the characters. Pain and Gain was humorous in a grotesque way as I discovered at the end of the movie that it's based on a true story.
A couple of flops aren't enough to destroy the Cruise Missile. He's got Mission Impossible and Live Die Repeat Again coming up. And the drug cartel movie American Made.
All the gore scenes with the xenomorphs were cut from the user reviews that I have read (in broken Google translate).
Chinese audiences are left with brief alien glimpses, religious metaphors/poetry, and fingering.
lol johnny depp has had like 5 "career ending" flops in the last 10 years and this mother fucker seems totally fine. I don't think Cruise has to worry. her won't get the blame.

He's extremely well-connected, so no. There will be more MI films and whatever romantic/buddy drama/comedy he can no longer do stunts or loses all his screen presence and can just mail it in for the rest of his life like DeNiro.

It's early over there. Duck needs his morning to pray to Baysus before coming here to spread the gospel.

A nearly 50% drop from Prometheus.
Glad that sometimes, just occasionally, audiences know a shit film when they see it.
Waits to hear that TF5 makes over a billion thanks to China.

Zubo's director, Travis Knight. Hailee Steinfeld is rumored (?) to star and it'll be set in the '80s.
I'm purposely leaving out the writer.
That's a middle finger moment if I ever saw one.

I did not read that before just now, and yeah that's pretty much the 'fuck you, movie' moment. How does shit like this even get into cinemas?

At this rate, horror audiences are going to be gagging for a conventional ending by time IT releases.
Korea's got some good taste
They've been putting out some rad movies of their own too (Handmaiden, Snowpiercer, I know I'm making some American korean-cinephiles go bananas right now, sorry)
Cheap and probably already close to black before it even hit the theaters?
I have a soft spot for Knight and Day. Love it.

Dem WW legs. They couldn't pick a better time on its release.
Heck, I bet it's made back its total cost (production and marketing) from its domestic alone by now.

Using $350m ww, the film will make 2.8x its budget . Not great for a franchise starter, less than they will have hoped for and a sure flop in the US, but enough to stall the cruise missile? Come on.

Honestly don't even think it would matter which 6 minutes of the film were cut. The whole thing goes nowhere and has nothing to say. Ulimately, cutting 6 minutes would just be cutting out one of the pointless, disposable character or cutting some banal dialogue that had no bearing on the overall plot. The only scene in the entire movie that actually matters is the last one.
Dracula Untold did $217m on a $70m budget. Never came back.
It should have been worse. Love to know why the international market is saving this tripe.
The international market loves to save trips. It's like their favorite thing to save.
And it will do much better overseas too. No one saw this performance coming.
WW2 probably performs like Guardians 2 did. Bigger OW, lower legs.
Saw it with the girlfriend and...
That happens and I'm thinking, what the fuck is that point in this? Especially since the coast guard saves her in the end anyways. Kate's dead but her death was so fast and quiet, just a weird sequence of events.
10.85M FRI for WW (+80% from THU), it increases from RTH's 10.7M and DHD's 10.6M
So it'll be around 310-315 million by next Sunday?

The comment section on that article is hilarious.
It's the highest grossing film in Universal's Dark Universe.
