Yeah, Hot Fuzz was his previous high of around 80 mil.

Adjusted for inflation, The Blues Brothers actually beats it out by around $8M
The Blues Brothers: $113M unadjusted, $331M adjusted
Wayne's World: $183M unadjusted, $323M adjusted
Harold is the all time loser at $10k, with It's Pat in second at $60k.

Well foreign currency exchange is less than what it was a few years ago, which will effect it. Foreign audiences might not care that much for Spider-Man/won't recognize if it's quality or not. Iron Man 3 was only a year post-Avengers so people were still hyped for it. Civil-War was basically and Avengers-lite movie. Basically there are numerous reasons to doubt why Iron-Man being included could have an effect at all. As of right now, it's still only a little bit above Guardians 2 opening weekend, and its total gross so far is at 857 mil. Marvel movies as of lately have been very front-loaded, which means there could be some drop-offs in the coming weeks. We won't be able to predict accurately until next week.
I said somewhat realistic ¯_(ツ

I want the next Spiderman movie to have Carnage as the villain.
Yeah I know he's being saved for Sony's venom movie but screw it. I would love to see Marvel's take on Carnage.

Jesus, what was i doing in 2008 that i didn't know this existed
Apparently the same thing as everyone else, since, you know, $10,000 in box office returns.
Definitely possible the drop from 7 to 8 was simply the franchise regressing to the mean. Fast 5, 6, and 8 all performed remarkably similar at the domestic box office. Really curious to see how 9 does.
Thankfully, It's Pat was able to recover any losses from hundreds of 2am showings on USA Network.
Apparently, a movie in which Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays someone named Cromer.
Damn, that guy is the MC Hammer of movie roles: nothing but bad choices after making it big.
He was also a producer on the movie

It's going to make over 100m at least, actually.
The Furious films generally receive fine reviews, plus they're part of a series. Franchise fatique will eventually set-in.

Eh, he had a few good roles for a while, but he totally screwed the pooch, and wound-up doing straight to DVD action films back in the day. At least he's rebounded recently.
It's only out in about half the territories so far. Out in UK, Japan & Korea this coming week for example. Germany & Italy not until September for some reason.
So you're saying Justin Lin should direct a reboot starring Vin Diesel?
I'd watch that
How and why in the everliving fuck does Cars 3 get a 185m budget.
Illumination movies are much bigger than Pixar nowadays and they cost less than half the money.
My god, what a flop company of subpar sequels Pixar has become. Disney might as well drop them now that they have a better and more succesful animation studio.

Standarizing for today's currency exchange rates all of the Spider-man films except for Spider-Man 2 would be in the low $400M range overseas. Spider-Man 2 was lower.
Of course the older films had bigger attendance.

Transformers and Fast & Furious are the kind of dumb fuckawful that need to crossover so we finally have a good enough excuse to just launch the nukes and end it all.
Depends on how Coco does.
Inside Out two years ago also did very well.
How dare you insult Fast and Furious by comparing those two.
You're telling me - with the shit they can accomplish and withstand - that Dom and Hobbs AREN'T cyborgs? Bullshit.
You live for hyperbole, don't you?
If you really consider the Fast franchise to be the same level of trash that the Transformers franchise is, you haven't seen either.
Though I agree that the F&F characters should be integrated into both the TF series and the Pirates movies

I think it has to do with summer holidays in Europe so movies getting released mid-summer are pushed back until September - but people living in Germany or Italy can verify if I'm correct or not.
Also finding dory made it to a bill.

You're both right. At least Transformers managed one watchable movie before it went to hell, which is more than you can say for F&F.

At least F&F is diverse. The only franchise you'll see poc making bank after bank after bank.
Germans just dont like to go to the cinema in the summer.
We are stupid or something.
Rewatched Incredibles the other week and man has the animation aged hard in that movie. Also the story and characters weren't as good as I remembered. Oh well.
It was at $10B in 2014. I'm sure we'll get new figures at some point now that the new movie is out.
We can figure it out. Go to your local Toys R Us. See how many kids and parents walk out with cars toys. Then you'll know.
At this point I'm cool with Groot evolving into Dom for the ultimate family moment. Tony could design a redicoulous car for him.
Also Hobbs coldclocks Thanos with Cap's shield.
Even more proof of my likening!
Yeah everything about that movies release was a super emotional. From the marketing, press and the Charlie puth song. You had to go see it because it was a farewell to Paul.
The series is never gonna hit that high again.
Man, can you imagine Dom driving Bumblebee around? Shit would print money.
Fast and furious is like fucking citizen Kane compared to transformers

I still think Spidey should have dropped last week. That holiday box office boost would have been a nice start. Still think there's a fair chance of my boy crossing $900M WW, though.
Hope you're wearing proper gear, don't want to see you get burned by your own hot take

Because Pixar actually cares about the animation unlike Illumation who's much cheaper, and produces films with cheap Foreign money.
Also no way Disney is dropping Pixar, that's overreaction. Cars is a huge juggernaut of merchandising sales and largely got a sequel in the first place because of Lasseter (the series is his "dream project" so to say), and aside from TGD all of their films have made huge dough. Last years Finding Dory was very well-received, and proved that the original Nemo was a well-remembered classic.
Saying a movie's animation hasn't aged well, is not really a great criticism, since that's to be expected with CGI animated films, otherwise the original Toy Story would not be regarded as a classic, outside of being of the first of its kind. Plus personally I think The Incredibles holds up very well, because like most of Pixar's best films, it has huge adult appeal, of course that's what I think anyway.
Anyone who loves the IDW TF books will be glad to see Bay's franchise die on it's arse, to hopefully be replaced with literally anything else.

It is below $5000 per theater and a ton of movies are opening over the next few weeks. It is going to start trailing off now as it loses theaters.
