It does actually feel that way to me. I know it released this week but it feels like something that released a week ago with the GAF chatter and everything.
Yes

Wish Upon is gonna kick Wonder Woman out the top 5.

I've mentioned it before, but I don't think audiences liked Dawn nearly as much as people think; legs were merely decent and it's weekend drops never stabilized like films with good WOMs do.
Wonder Woman will probably beat Wish Upon.
But the Big Sick will kick it out of the Top 5.

Too bad for Apes but at least we got an entire trilogy that should stand the test of time. The movie will find its audience eventually even if it doesn't quite match Fox's expectations.

I'll be there for you Luc.
Well, provided the movie is actually screened in my city in VO so maybe not.

If Spider-Man drops that much, does that mean the WW will end up with a higher domestic total, in likelihood?
Even underselling Spidey at first I never thought WW could outpace it.
EDIT: I need to watch the Apes movies someday.

This is acceptable, as Big Sick is a charming, excellent movie.
That was happening ever since we got last Friday's gross for Spider-man.

Yeah, the question is whether Spidey will get to within 75mil of Diana's total.
If it actually does finish somewhere around 290, Wonder Woman will have beaten it by around 100mil, domestically.

That was an almost certainty the second $400 million was in sight for WW. It would have literally required Spider-Man 1 level legs to pass it.
World wide is the real question now. We is on track for 800 million and for a brand as popular world wide as Spider-Man 800 million + is alsk expected.

Maybe if you wanted the weekly threads to die. This gets more eyeballs and more people joining since it is more visible.

What you tryna say? You wanna start somethin?
Now? Valerian has been a presumed domestic bomb for a year now.
Luc Besson is going to wish he got Jupiter Ascending figures.
You might be right. Fox maybe didn't pave the way right for the hype train.
I guess. I always thought both movies had been well received.

You dislike?
Also, missed that about Spider-Man. I don't follow numbers closely usually and didn't know what the expected multipliers would be.
Show me a realistic scenario where Valerian opens to less than $100m. I'm waiting.
As wrong as I (and many others) were about Wonder Woman's total after its opening weekend, you can typically take a comic film, multiply its OW by 2.25-3x and correctly predict the range of its domestic gross about 80% of the time.
Summer is probably closer to 2.5-3x, while spring (including May) is probably closer to 2.25-2.75x. Summer weekdays help.
I dunno
Maybe the one where it ain't drawin' a lot of hype despite good reviews (like Apes) and it opens on the same day as another big blockbuster (Dunkirk)?
But hey--anything's possible. I don't get the money from them either way.
I still had little hope until now

A moment of silence for Dane DeHaan's career.........................................
It was sent to die sort of speak sandwiched between Spidey and Dunkirk. And while Dunkirk isn't a huge draw ala WW or SM, all three share a big part of the same demographic. So peole are seeing spidey, want to see Dunkirk, and may be skipping on Apes atm.
$150m OW
Does Valerian even count as having good reviews? 5.9 average on RT. 47 on metacritic. The tomatometer score is likely to drop with more reviews. Reviews arent terrible, but if Spider-man got those scores, people would be calling it a failure.

Andrew Garfield chose the correct path post-ASM2. DeHaan did not.

yeahhhhh you can usually predict the swings in % based on avg score. early 7s usually hold but stuff in the 5/6 range can drop fast
wouldn't be shocked if it ends up low 60s or 50s all said and done
Maybe Valerian got "better than I thought" backhanded compliments that counted as positive reviews.
CORRECT. Dude was good before ASM, and I remember being pleased when he was taking over as Peter. Too bad the movies blew.

I've literally seen that first trailer before every single movie this Summer.
There's nothing new about it, but they're damn well trying their best to make people aware.

You mean there's an alternate timeline where I didn't have to watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Where it doesn't exist?
I've only watch Amazing 2 is bits and pieces on television. I've never seen Transformers 3 and 4.
I want Justice League to do well, because I love those characters. But you're right.
If it's great and makes bank, DC fans will crow to high heaven about it. If it's bad, Marvel fans will drag it through the mud.
My hope is that it's good and makes as much as eh... Civil War. Marvel fans can't talk shit too much and DC fans are happy about being on top.
I just want all my favorite comic characters to be in good films.

Any update for Transformers 5? Last I read, not even $600 million was a sure bet anymore.

I saw Apes, and it was good to okay. I'm kinda eh on it in general, but that's because even though the second one is the best, I still like the first one more. Valerian continues to look awful every time I see a trailer. They really should just make a Mass Effect movie and stop trying to copy it. Hell make a Mass Effect television series, it would be more original than the millionth Star Trek movie/series...
My fiancée and her father would so hate me for saying that.
It's in no way a copy of Mass Effect.

Sigourney Weaver:
”Having read all four of them, I think they're absolutely extraordinary and worth the wait."
I mean - she thought Blomkamp's Alien 5 was gonna be amazing too. So like...
I dunno. Weren't those movies supposed to basically be stand-alones or something (whenever it is they actually finally come out)? Is she going to be the link? I guess if she's in the tree that might make sense.

Honestly I find it somewhat amusing that a dead character has become the sequels' biggest champion.
I want Justin Lin to do Mass Effect with the special effects and make-up teams from Star Trek Beyond.
So you're sayin' Valerian is the real Mass Effect Andromeda
I'm thinking about how perfect Paul Walker would have been as default male Shep and now I'm sad

Man, speaking of August - how much more money you think it woulda made in its original spot with that word of mouth helping it navigate the obstacle course of Summer?
