Man, still - considering I was thinking $60 mil was best case scenario, I'm pretty happy dude finally got his.

Yeah, I'm with you, I love Mulan too. I think they should avoid the formula of a (more or less) straight up live action remake of the animated films and just do their own thing.
So Rough Night fell 78.6% this weekend. I guess my estimated $25M total from last weekend was too optimistic. It will have a hard time hitting higher than $23M.
If Baby Driver hits $95M, it will have over half of the domestic take of Edgar Wright's full filmography.

Wonder Woman and Deadpool actually have a connection. They've both been written by Gail Simone(who got a shout-out in Deadpool as Bob, Agent of Not!Hydra's wife).

I'm still recovering from Vegas, so I'll get the contest results done tomorrow. I *think* we avoided the nightmare scenario of a 5 way tie with the $120M predictions.
$115M would have been bad too.

War of the Apes has a pretty amazing short ad that runs before videos. It was pretty awesome and sold the movie for me. I have enjoyed the last 2 films so it is not like I was hesistant to see it.

Why do you (and the movie critic elites) want to destroy European sci-fi?!
2.5 months ago, I ran a summer prediction thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1362503
My ranking order was completely wrong, but this weekend will largely determine if I have a shot of at least naming the top 5 domestic films for the summer. I picked GotG2, Spider-Man, Despicable Me 3, Wonder Woman, and War for the Planet of the Apes.
The three comic flicks have their place locked up. Despicable Me 3 should finish around $220M, which should be good for a top 5 finish, but isn't quite a lock yet. Apes will need to clear Pirates 5 (~$170M), and avoid having Dunkirk leg past it later this summer. I really don't see any of the other releases later this summer breaking $150M domestic.
Wonder Woman and Transformers already teamed up to sink my Worldwide top 5. I will probably get 4 out of the 5 on that list.
EDIT: TDLink is the only person who picked GotG2, Spider-Man Homecoming, DM3, Wonder Woman, and Pirates 5 as their top 5 worldwide. So he will likely win that half of the predictions (ignoring ranking of course).

WW surprised everybody in that thread, it appears.
This quote is amusing in retrospect:

The Emoji's society seems kinda dystopic.
I think the $1B ship has sailed for the summer. The last time we lacked a $1B summer film was 2009 I believe.

We just got it out of the way early with Beauty and the Beast and F8 of the Furious.
We'll get 1-2 in the fall as well, so this year isn't nearly as bad overall as 2014. Especially since 2014 overseas grosses had about a 20% bump over current films thanks to favorable exchange rates.
Way to cherry pick those reviews!
That would already be higher than Amazing Spider-Man-Man 2's domestic total.
I think that it would be pretty hard for Homecoming to miss ASM2's total this weekend.
Being pessimistic:
Mon: $12.3M
Tues: $13.5M (+10%)
Wed: $9.4M (-30%)
Thurs: $8.5 (-10%)
Fri: $12.8M (+50%)
Sat: $16.6M (+30%)
Sun: $12.5M (-25%)
Second weekend = $41.9M (-64%)
10-day total = $202.6M
That's about $250k under Amazing Spider-Man 2's domestic total, and I gave SM:H a Man of Steel second weekend drop in that pessimistic scenario.
Pesos?

I believed the same thing, but I was expecting a BvS light, not a competent movie.
Also a lack of everybody suddenly realizing that liking nonsense has consequences. Thanks Trump?

I was more bullish on WW actually being a good movie, but I didn't think it would do as well as it has. I expected more of a Batman Begins kind of result-- solid, but dampened by history.

2017 is the year of (American) audiences finally saying "fuck you" to bad films, and actually seeing good films for once.

The time is ripe for a re-release of Star trek: Beyond.
I didn't see it in the theater either, I'm part of the problem.

I expected WW to land somewhere between Ant-Man and Doctor Strange, about average for where superhero origins land. That it topped Deadpool and most superhero sequels is way beyond those expectations.
I'd go see it another six times.
