I don't think it will be that high. I can't think of any superhero films that dropped 70% or more. Even ones with really shitty legs like Watchmen. My guess is mid to high 60s with another 60% drop in weekend #3.

I think Ang Lee's Hulk had a 70% drop in its second weekend
People tuned waaaaaay the hell out for that thing
edit: 69.7% for Ang Lee Hulk, close enough. Elektra and X-Men Origins with dem 69%, shoutouts to Fox(and their unnamed executives)

Ya, I guess it rounded up to 70% (69.7%).
I suppose 65-70% is a good guess for Fantastic Four. Its Saturday and Sunday drops weren't big enough to suggest 75%. We will know more as the week progresses.
Fantastic Four v X-men. Lol.

Who probably don't work there anymore
In more positive news, Ant-Man is having decent legs.
Bottom tier MCU 4th weekends
Thor - $9.5M (-38%) - $160M total
Ant-Man - $7.9M (-38%) - $148M total
Captain America: First Avenger - $7.2M (-42%) - $157M total
The Incredible Hulk - $4.9M (49%) - $125M total
Thor's 4th weekend was Memorial Day weekend, so Ant-Man is actually holding better than all of these films.
I think Ant-man will hit $165M and $170M could happen.

Kevin Feige look at me. Fuck the F4, Fox can keep them. You get Doom back. Cast Mark Strong or Littlefinger to play him. Put him with Cumberbatch. Make the big screen adaptation of Triumph and Torment, and then proceed to rob me all of my life savings. I would go broke watching that movie.
This is my year.
Anyway, F4's drop from estimates is hilarious. I can see it finishing under 50M tbh.

I forgot, Fox wants to make a X-Men based TV series but Marvel still has control of the TV rights apparently so there's some incentive.

It was great, and so weird. The movie turned into a Mamet play out of fucking nowhere!

Any tracking on Compton, by the way? I'm feeling like expecting north of 30 mil for the weekend isn't out of bounds. Curious to see if it could be closer to 40, though.
Top movies of my birth year
1 Back to the Future
2 Rambo: First Blood Part II
3 Rocky IV
4 The Color Purple
5 Out of Africa
6 Cocoon
7 The Jewel of the Nile Fox
8 Witness
9 The Goonies
10 Spies Like Us
My year seems tame compared to some other 80s years. Oh well, at least I got Back to the Future - the first part in one of the greatest movie trilogies ever.

The first person in your casting choice isn't part of the cast, and no fucking way Cary Fukunaga gets within LOUISIANA-sized distance of a Marvel movie.
But yeah, Books of Doom is a good idea, since it's obvious most people really only give a fuck about Doom, and not really the FF.

40-50, huh?
I'm afraid to go much higher than 40 because it's still a 2 1/2 hour long R rated film.

I dunno. It's not like there aren't good stories. They just don't seem to stick to people. Or people don't find 'em amidst all the other shit also vying for their attention.
As a Superman fan, you're familiar with how this sorta shit happens.

Doom is cool F4 are lame to the point they belong in DC comics.... jk
Because they're boring as shit and 1950's. Boom, done. It's not that hard to see from asking people to name comic characters. Same with Green Lantern years back. Nobody outside of like 1% of comic fans can name them.
To be fair, not many people would've named Ironman either until Robert Downey Junior played him and played him well. The major problem with F4 is that Fox has tried to tell their origin story and nobody cares. They need "character" to actually get them off the ground.
Same birthday. I dunno why I found that amusing, but I do.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
does mission impossible 5 have a shot beating the 209 mil ghost protocol did?
This is false. They are hard to write though. Most comic writers can figure out Spider-man or Batman and put out some decent stories. The Fantastic Four get a good writer match like once a decade. When it happens, the book tends to be excellent (as in one of the best monthlies Marvel puts out). The rest of the time it isn't really worth reading.
It doesn't help that Hickman recently wrapped up (or is wrapping up depending on how you count New Avengers/Secret Wars) a top 3 run of all time for the Fantastic Four, and probably a top 20 Marvel run of all time. Everything will seem shitty in comparison for awhile.
Universal making that final push.

I think it will be difficult, it would need outstanding legs. GP had the holiday season.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Have a deal to see The Man from UNCLE with my friend, as long as the rottentomatoes score stays above 60% by Saturday

JW is about 23 million away from Titanic's record now. So... this re-release would need to push at least 15 million or more to make that happen right?
Yes, I doubt it's got that much steam left.
How about an extended version in September or October, Universal?

good news for the franchise
The lead will disappear quickly since Ghost Protocol had holiday holds worldwide, and Rogue Nation is getting normal drops. However, China's take could be upwards of $200M if the series remains popular there, so the film should still end up being the highest grossing entry in the series worldwide.
So I am going to end up being wrong about the magnitude of Fantastic Four's drop. FF's Wednesday gross was $1.66M, which is only slightly higher than Ant-Man's third Wednesday take.
Given this weekend's competition, Fantastic Four is looking at a $6.5M - 7.25M weekend which I believe would give it the worst hold of all time for a superhero film. At least one based on Marvel/DC characters.
That means ~$41M after its second weekend. $60M isn't happening. $50M might be missed if the drops don't lighten up.

Jeeeeezus.
It's crazy that Fantastic Four will end up grossing less domestically than Chronicle, a film with 1/10th the production budget.
I doubt many FF fans were rooting for this film given what was being shown during pre-production and production.
