The movie needs $330M to surpass BvS domestically, yes?
Wow only a 45% drop for WW? It's going over 300 million. Damn good hold.
Wonder if the actual will be higher. Box office mojo is predicting a 30 percent drop from Saturday to Sunday in this projection and I think that is too steep.
Also Mummy ended up higher than I expected. Thinking it would be mid 20s. Dark Universe is here to stay with the overseas numbers included, cruise missile has been activated.

Internationally it sounds like The Mummy is doing real good so far. Cruise missile power overseas

For how much less was WW made versus BvS budget? WW might not beat BvS in worldwide box office but it might end up being way more profitable for WB, right?

Fantastic hold for Wonder Woman. Let's see how well she fends off the competition in the next couple of weeks.
And from last thread:
I will make an avatar bet with you that JL doesn't beat Avengers worldwide total. It will be fun.

Reported budgets were $250M for BvS and $150M for Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman might end up making a bit more than BvS domestically, but it will end its worldwide run close to $200M behind BvS. I don't know if that is enough to offset the extra budget when you factor in the ancillary stuff.
I think that Suicide Squad will remain the most profitable DCEU film for now.
Yes.

WW budget was $150m compared to BvS $250
I don't agree. anecdotally my wife and her friend asked me and a colleague to go see it because they heard "it's for women as well as about women." and the audience last night was about two thirds ladies- Cinerama in Seattle-- which is a hell of an outlier for week 2 of a superhero movie.
I certainly don't think it's as simple as "princess movie" but even ignoring the fact that she's an actual princess, there's strong messages for girl and female empowerment. So the analogy is direct and easy to draw.
And further, boy superhero movies often feature princess movie themes and structure.
Discover power in obscurity and use it for good to pass your own moral test and emerge fully formed from that test.
I'll allow it!
Unless Cruise is going to be in subsequent films, then they're just building a house of cards though.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
It's incredibly mediocre. I actually did like Cruise in it, so you might enjoy it if you're a big fan of his. It isn't Suicide Squad levels of dumpster fire. You can just tell that the studio played around with the script a lot. The titular Mummy is an afterthought and the movie hits the brakes on the story to setup THE DARK UNIVERSE for a good chunk of the runtime. That plus the tonal whiplash and it's a hard movie to like. I'll probably forget everything about it in a few days, honestly.

Awesome. I lost the Divergent vs ID4R bet horribly, but got a good feeling about this one.
Internal Junkie XL theme intensifies.
Challenge accepted!
Loser has avatar of winners choice for one month sound fair?

Given the worldwide summon and its relatively low budget, The Mummy probably wont end up being a failure. Dark Universe lives, it seems.
What did he mean by this?

Wonder Woman is kicking Cap and Thors asses and is going for Iron Man and Superman A-list status? Thats amazing
In the Dark Universe, at least the next film has a real artist behind the camera. Who's bright idea was it go give a first-time director the headliner for a cinematic universe anyways?

The other movies have to stand on their own, no different with how Wonder Woman is doing amazing despite the lackluster other movies in the cinematic universe of DC.
It's all money, if this makes money, they are not gonna abandon the Dark Universe just yet because of mediocre domestic performance.

Kurtzman pulling off a David Keopp or Akiva Goldsman and failing.
Overseas audiences are still Marvel fanboys and girls. Wonder Woman might edge out Ant-Man, but that's probably about it unless you go back to the pre-Avengers films before Asia and Latin America blew up.

Glad to see The Mummy not doing well. Not the direction I want to see these monster movies go in, and the story/characters were so damn empty. Just completely bland all around.

We tend to forget but before his first films Iron Man wasn't considered to be anywhere close to A-list status. He was C-tier at best! What a successful movie can make to a superhero' notoriety can't be understated. So imagine what could happen to WW after this!
Break the chains on female superhero movies. Get fucked Ike Perlmutter and whoever at WB okayed Jonah Hex and a $200m Green Lantern film before Wonder Woman.

Of course.
Oh I cannot wait to make you have Savitar from Flash S3 for a month.
And speaking of Tobin Bell, anyone know when Saw 907 is coming out? I'm aiming to start a campaign to get it to no 1 at the UK box office.

Kswis is a GAF treasure.
The worldwide numbers might be good enough for them to just continue with their current plans.

The Mummy looks so bad. I guess Pirates is finally dead even if it does well overseas. I should really see WW.
Not remotely.
It crossed $600m this weekend and isn't open in Japan yet, where the last one (which also disappointed in North America) made over $100m alone.
What makes this even more impressive is that Thor and Strange were winter releases so their soft drops are expected. WW topping them in summer makes it even more impressive.From twitter, only films since MCU
I totally slept on the potential of this (WW) movie, the trailers never grabbed me.

Perhaps when making a mummy movie, the mummy doesn't need to be hot.

What movie is WoM?
More Worldwide Updates:
Guardians of the Galaxy - $833M
Logan - $616M
Baywatch - $98M
Dangal - $263M (mostly China)
Alien: Covenant - $182M
Beauty and the Beast - $1.248B
The Boss Baby - $488M
I think that you are much more likely to get stuck with Howard the Duck or something. You do know that BvS + Wonder Woman's eventual total combined aren't all that far above what The Avengers grossed right?
This strikes me as about as likely as a bet that Fate of the Furious would outgross The Last Jedi worldwide this year.
The first Thor kicked off the summer season in the first week of May, 2011.

Ah that makes sense.
Wow @ Alien. That's all it could muster?
Honestly, the design of the Mummy herself is pretty cool. It's just the character itself that's utterly wasted. Fuckin Imhotep had a better motivation than that.

Amazing hold.
Oh, you wanna have a Savitar avatar for a month too. He's the future, Flash.
WW with the amazing drop. So glad to see a female led action franchise kicking ass in the industry especially after shitfests like Catwoman. Studios take way too goddamn long to take these 'risks', for example it'll be 17x MCU movies before we see Captain Marvel headline her own film
And it ain't even the best Captain Marvel :/
Bar graphs that don't start at 0 are one of my pet peeves. That info would have been easier to interpret in a chart.
Yes. I would guess $650-700M depending on legs overseas and how it fairs in the few markets left to launch.

You got that wrong. It'll have been 20 movies and 11 years.
