Here we go. F4 I'm guessing drops to 4-5
Not even Fant4stic bombed that badly compared to U.N.C.L.E.'s numbers. But to be fair, U.N.C.L.E. had a smaller budget. Nice to see Compton do well.

NOBODY SHOOTS MY UNCLE

Damn impressive debut for Compton.
Bone Bone Bone I miss my Charlies....
MI had the Cruisemissile.
UNCLE has The Bomb Ranger and a Superman the mainstream gives no fucks about.
The gap from Mission Impossible TV series to movie was much shorter (apparently the show had a revival in the 80s)
Where I don't think Man from UNCLE has been in anything really since original show.

And really, how recognizable is Man From UNCLE to anybody anymore? Even if there was a huge gap between MI the show and film, it was definitely a larger part of the culture with the theme music and some of the catchphrases.

FF estimated to have an $8m weekend according to Box Office twitter. The website lists $7.6m though.
I remembered that just as I finished typing.
Weekend Studio Estimates:
1) Straight Outta Compton - $56.1M
2) Mission Impossible Rogue Nation - $17.0M - $138M total
3) Man From U.N.C.L.E. - $13.5M
4) Fantastic Four - $8.0M (-69%) - $42M total <- this smells like an over-estimate to avoid that 70%+ drop
5) The Gift - $6.5M - $24M total
6) Ant-Man - $5.6M - $158M total
7) Vacation - $5.3M - $47M total
8) Minions - $5.2M - $313M total
1) Straight Outta Compton - $56.1M

Cmon 70% drop. I wanna see a new record!
Fant4stic's actuals are likely gonna drop further to break the record.
The Broken Ska Record

What movie was it that set the record for the biggest drop?
That's exactly what they did…tomorrow's actuals will show a 70% drop.
The Watchmen

Actually Hulk, with 69.7%
I think that we established that the record for second weekend superhero drops is 69.9% for the Hulk
Amazing. Dem ants.

I've never heard of it before the movie trailer. Neither have any of my friends.
It's strange to see Hulk and Watchmen with such drastic drops, Watchmen in particular is actually a good film and a good adaptation.

Are we counting Steel's 78% 2nd weekend drop or nah

Minions at $957.4m worldwide. Only $13m or so to go to top Despicable Me 2 to be the biggest in the series.
Steel is a direct to video film that someone decided to release in theatres for 10 days before it was yanked.
It still has to release in China as well.
Jurassic World is now at $1.606B
Inside Out is at $667M

Oh, shit. And Despicable Me 2 took in $52m there, so this will cross $1b then. Universal getting the hat trick this year.
Which pretty much guarantees that 2015 will set a new record for $1B films. Minions will tie the 2012 record with 4 and we still have Star Wars and maybe Bond to go.

Possibly an outlier with Mockingjay opening. It hasn't set the world on fire internationally, and there was a small drop off from Catching Fire and Mockingjay pt 1. But with it being the final entry it might get a big enough boost domestically and internationally. But it is probably a very slim chance.
I think that the Hunger Games series missed its chance at $1B. I don't see any reason to think that it will receive a 33% boost over the previous film. Usually China helps contribute to big bumps, but China has been very apathetic towards the series. I also think that some of the hype has died out elsewhere.
More Worldwide Updates:
Mission Impossible Rogue Nation - $373M
Terminator Genisys - $323M
Pixels - $155M
Crimson Peak baby.
50 Shades and Pitch perfect 2 should be on your list as well.
It was a good day
-_-
Kswiston: Do you think it has a shot at passing 8 Mile? Has a few million more on the opening.
