Nobody hates Transformers movies more than Transformers fans.

This. This so much.

 

[Chamber]

Holy shit! I hope WB is learning a lot from this movie. Who would've thought a solo WW film would trump Superman and Suicide Squad worldwide and domestically the first live action Superman v Batman film ever? Jesus

It's like everyone forgot WW is an icon in her own right.

 

[J_Viper]

It's like everyone forgot WW is an icon in her own right.

But the BvS backlash though!

That movie made bank and i expect Justice League to do even better.

 

[Azerth]

So as of now Disney owns the top 3 dom ow movies woth beauty and the beast, gotg2, and spiderman

Spider-Man is Sony.

Wonder Woman will end up being number 2 until it gets knocked down a spot by The Last Jedi.

I guess Justice League bumping it to #4 isn't impossible either.

Disney will probably take 3 of the Top 5.

WB will get 1 or 2 in the Top 5.

Sony might get the last slot.

 

[Anth0ny]

Homecoming would have hit $175m if it had a Nickelback song.

 

[Metalmarc]

How the Fuck did Spider-man 2 Make less than 3? And also this one in it's first weekend

 

[kswiston]

It opened on Wednesday.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

BvS made "bank" but it also definitely underperformed. That movie's floor was $1 billion and it didn't even crack $900. It also cost close to half a billion after marketing and distribution. That movie was profitable but the suits at WB couldn't possibly be very happy about it.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Captain Underpants had like no legs at all. I'm really upset by that.

It was obviously a casualty of Dreamworks' sale to Comcast, but damn.

It also looked awful and appealed exclusively to boy children.

Homecoming would have hit $175m if it had a Nickelback song.

Nickelback hasn't had a hit in like almost a decade, and the internet not liking that band was the weirdest thing ever.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Homecoming would have hit $175m if it had a Nickelback song.

The lead single from the "Spider-Man: Homecoming - Music From and Inspired By The Film" Album

 

[Chamber]

Imagine Dragons are the 2017 Nickelback.

 

[- J - D -]

I thought GotG2 would be higher by now. It has a chance of being overtaken by WW and Homecoming.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I already forgot GotG2 came out this year.

 

[jayu26]

Man, I can only imagine a world where Baby Driver wasn't called Baby Driver.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Man, I can only imagine a world where Baby Driver wasn't called Baby Driver.

On that Earth it's doing exactly the same. It's performance has nothing to do with it's name and everything to do with it being an original movie released during the heart of franchise film season.

 

[Chamber]

Oh, not just a chance.

Day 38
Wonder Woman: $368.8m
Guardians 2: $366.4m

Swiss, which film ends up most profitable (love that thread)? Last Jedi by a lot?

Nah. On that earth I could convince more of friends to give it a shot.

Guardians of the Galaxy?

More like Guardians of Third Place

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Is $600 million even on the table for TF5? This is an Alice 2-level collapse. I love it!

 

[Conscience Falls]

Imagine Dragons are the 2017 Nickelback.

That is by far the harshest insult I have ever seen levied at Nickleback, damn.

 

[Prompto]

I already forgot GotG2 came out this year.

It was good but yeah Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, and Logan were all better. Kind of just came and went.

Lego Batman has been the most forgotten superhero movie of 2017 though.

 

[- J - D -]

Oh, not just a chance.

Day 38
Wonder Woman: $368.8m
Guardians 2: $366.4m

Oh nice. I was thinking of worldwide but I didn't know that it had passed GotG2 domestic. That's cool.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

All y'all need to stop hating on Imagine Dragons. They're easily like the second least worst thing on the radio nowadays.

 

[Dysun]

Baby Driver holding well

 

[Lights and Waves]

YAS Wonder Woman!!

 

[TheTylerDurden]

Sorry, but I think this is very wrong.

Some people make judgements on movies very quickly, and the name can have a positive or negative effect. They can discard a movie very fast if the name turns them off.

Just the sheer number of people calling the movie title dumb tells you something. To suggest this has no effect whatsoever I think is just denial. I get that people love the movie, but the casual moviegoer is fickle, and an ill conceived movie title can be enough to turn them away.

 

[kswiston]

Swiss, which film ends up most profitable (love that thread)? Last Jedi by a lot?

Probably. I think this year is going to be more cut and dry at the top of that list. Presumably Star Wars on top. Then BatB. Despicable Me 3 or Fast 8 will be #3.

Assuming no big Fall surprises.

Is $600 million even on the table for TF5? This is an Alice 2-level collapse. I love it!

Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Japan still nees to open. It will depend on how much they drop, but $600M is looking like the upper end.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

A comic book movie with an almost 4x multiplier. Amazing.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Imagine Dragons are the 2017 Nickelback.

All y'all need to stop hating on Imagine Dragons. They're easily like the second least worst thing on the radio nowadays.

What's number one?

 

[Falchion]

Well deserved for Spiderman, it's the best superhero movie I've ever seen. Can't wait to go back and see it again.

 

[Chamber]

Oh nice. I was thinking of worldwide but I didn't know that it had passed GotG2 domestic. That's cool.

Worldwide is going to be Justice League, Spider-Man, and Guardians 2 as the top 3. Spidey probably isn't going to top Guardians of the Galaxy domestic.

 

[kswiston]

Oh nice. I was thinking of worldwide but I didn't know that it had passed GotG2 domestic. That's cool.

Wonder Woman has no real shot at GotG2 worldwide. It would have to be the highest grossing Hollywood superhero film of all time when it opens in Japan to hit those numbers, and nothing has come close to hitting the Raimi Spider-man films in Japan these past 15 years.

 

[Measley]

Guardians of the Galaxy?

More like Guardians of Third Place

Those are some nice legs......

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

What's number one?

Bruno Mars, but that's because he's basically copying 80s funk.

 

[zero_suit]

Dem Wonder Woman legs.

Story of the summer. It's unbelievable.

 

[jon bones]

if i hear that 'thunder' song again i'm going to put a bullet in my brain

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Don't pick on Bruno Mars. Just cuz he steals yo girl don't make him a bad guy.

 

[BronsonLee]

Bruno Mars is Hawaiian, so I'm honor-bound to support him

Spoiler

and then steal his identity first chance I get

 

[Oersted]

Actual answer should have been Mr Another One

You are the same height...

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I'm just being honest. At least 24 Karat Magic makes me feel good and enjoy the few minutes it plays, unlike most of the current big hits which seemed design to depress you to the point of putting a gun in your mouth.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

He's also Puerto Rican, which I'm guessing your not.

 

[GravityInsanity]

I haven't even seen Lego Batman yet. I'm thinking that movie came out last year.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

What's number one?

Chainsmokers

 

[Corpsepyre]

Glad Transformers crashed and burned. It's almost like Meta and RT scores are helping towards box office failures and successes this year.

Nah. People are finally tired now. Four was the limit. We can't go any further. There's no gas left.
