War of the Planet of the Apes should hopefully open to 70 million.
Because this is what I predicted

I actually don't think Apes is doing more than $60M with that preview number. Only $900K more than Dawn after 3 years of early previews coming more into vogue isn't great, especially when Dawn's started at 10PM; I'm thinking $50-55M.
It does seem that Spider-Man is going to drop 60% this weekend. Irritating.

Unlike Spidey, there are no stakes involved with the Apes predictions in here.
Or, as some would think, much like Spidey, there are no stakes.

Because Arrival is a much better film. Though I enjoy Contact as well

Just because you wanted Morbius as the villain doesn't mean we all did, friend.

Spidey's gonna drop 55-60% yes?
Word of mouth on it is pretty good, but it doesn't seem to be catching like, say, Guardians 2 did.

Morbius is lame. Now if Stegron had been in the movie, then Homecoming would have passed the billion mark easily.

Word? I'd argue the opposite just based on my (very limited) twitter feed. I thought Guardians 2 was being talked up, but nothing like on the level of Homecoming right now.

Thor 3 is gonna get the Jeff Goldblum bump then.

I wonder why Spider isn't catching. Probably since it's just more of the same but with the MCU banner now.
I hope they go Big Time Scorpion when he was so OP
I feel like it's going to drop 60% if not a little more because, as I suspected, it doesn't appear to be expanding beyond the usual Marvel audience.
We'll see soon enough.

Ragnarok is going to melt heads
That 2.5x multiplier is gonna get me a free video game (rubs hands like Birdman)
How Sony/Marvel going to do a better Archangel then Fox?

Ouch, it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things since it's a very small market but Spidey just had his second worst opening ever in France. Tickets sold on the first day:
Spider-Man 3 : 804 354
Spider-Man 2 : 502 494
Spider-Man : 480 288
The Dark Knight Rises : 423 970
Avengers LÈre dUltron : 333 303
X-Men Laffrontement final : 331 000
Iron Man 3 : 318 216
X-Men 2 : 310 592
Suicide Squad : 307 062
Avengers : 302 730
Captain America Civil War : 288 662
Deadpool : 285 711
The Dark Knight : 253 858
The Amazing Spider-Man : 251 226
X-Men Days of Future Past : 248 522

Les Gardiens de la Galaxie Vol. 2 : 232 682
Les Gardiens de la Galaxie : 231 384
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 : 225 381
It is the best opening for a superhero movie this year though.

I don't wanna talk about X-Men Apocalypse and what it did to Archangel.
Nevermind Apocalypse himself (for the record, it's not his powerset or anything like that, but I don't think they nailed his design all too well).

Man, imagine if UN office workers hadn't protested over a fictional greek character getting a honorary role that a fictional red bird had previously had. That would've really been good marketing for her and her message.

They got Weapon X Logan right though!
Well, Guardians 2 "only" has a 2.64 multiplier so I think Spidey is headed for something similar. I think 2.3-2.6x is going to be regular for well received CBM movies.
I'm not really surprised that the 6th Spider-Man movie since 2002 and the 3rd time we've seen Peter Parker in high school is only having a good run instead of a great run.
Silver linings.

Worse horsemen ever, had more time standing around then they did actually fighting.
The ancient horsemen were cool
THOSE guys should've been the ones featured in the film.
Also had the best X-Men titles intro. I dug it.
Too bad it only set up my disappointment.

Yeah, I think in one of the other BO threads my reasoning for lowballing was something like "The primary emotion this film will engender if it's good will be relief, not excitement."
Relief is good. Restoring confidence is good. But it's also not the sort of fuel that rockets ticket sales.
It was almost like someone else wrote and directed that sequence it was so good

WW hasn't come out there yet, or...?
It has already.
First day: 157 337 tickets sold.
It's at 1 998 928 now, should end up with Logan numbers (2 275 342) here when everything is said and done.
Not bad, not super good. But >2M is respectable for any superhero movie.

It opened with fairly low numbers, the DC characters don't rate much around here outside of Batman, but it's on track to pass Suicide Squad I think so the legs are solid. With 2 million tickets sold total, it's a very respectable number for a first entry. Also, films open on wednesdays here, so Spidey's numbers in July (when everyone is on vacation) aren't actually that great compared to what WW did a month ago when people were still working or at school.
Here's the rest of the list:
Edit - I should give my source:

Wait, wait, wait....,
Tranformers 5 has been out for three weeks and it's worldwide total is still only just over $500m?!

I'm surprised BoM is only predicting 6.9 million this weekend for Wonder Woman.

Seems low.
The benefit of Spiderman Homecoming not sucking shows up in the sequel.

I think a lot of people looked at Homecoming as a good MCU movie that featured Spider-Man instead of a major Spider-Man movie. If that makes any sense.

Sony will benefit a lot because of Homecoming. I think people don't get how these things work. Spider-man 2 was great which got a lot of people in theater for Spider-man 3. For the trilogy, Spider-man 2 did just okay, not as good as 1 or 3. Homecoming will pay off big time after Infinity War when people flock to see it after all the great reviews/WOM from Homecoming and hopefully IW Part 1-2
Man the franchise didn't taper off, it cratered
Yea the first spider man made 7.5 million same weekend and with 200 less theatres I think.

At first I thought, 'It still has to be released in China', but that happened weeks ago. So if there are no more major territories for it to open in..., is it going to finish it's run with less than $600m worldwide?
I feel like there's something i'm missing here because if not..,
Yikes.
