I may just wait until Tuesday for AMC's cheap ticket deal. Seeing T2 on the big screen on August 29 sounds fitting anyway.

boxoffice.com raised their long range forecast for IT by 30% this week, to $60M OW and $150M total. I guess they are agreeing with the official tracking now (not always the case with BO Pro). Usually, this sort of thing is a sign that all tracking is going to be too low.
They also bumped up Kingsmen and Ninjango slightly, to $42M and $42.5M OW respectively.
They expect Geostorm to open to $12M. I have no idea what the budget on that film was, but I doubt it was cheap. It's like someone decided that they should take the script for a SyFy original, up the budget by a factor of 50, and cast a washed up looking Gerard Butler in the lead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuOlYPSEzSc

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I'd count it as another upcoming Dane Dehaan flop, but his voice was replaced for the US release by Nat Wolff (Light from the Netflix Death Note)

Geostorm has at least $15 million alone in reshoots. Bringing in Bruckheimer probably wasn't cheap either.

You still haven't seen Baby Driver, have you?
Leap! is already Dane's most successful film since Amazing Spider-Man 2 from a budget to worldwide gross perspective.
And to think that the trailer I linked was made from their best stuff after those reshoots.
What was the general consensus?

Leap! Is another one of those movies that came out here in Quebec like 4 months ago.
I don't think it made a splash at all.

It looks like it came out in all of Canada back in February.
I didn't even notice.

That Death Note movie was pretty fucking bad. Dafoe gives it his all and the production design is great, but the acting and dialogue was poor, and the soundtrack was one of the funniest choices I can recall in a long time. I'd probably give it a watch if you're looking for a so-bad-it's-good time.
Was pretty Gud
Guess it leaped into failure.
(Yeah, that sounded good).
See What Happened to Monday on Netflix instead for a good movie Dafoe is in.

Dafoe being in JL and Aquaman is still one of those things I really love.

Logan Lucky deserved much better.
Okay, so because I still have a thing for Paramount I decided to check in on whether or not they're still heading for their worst year in the 2000s. So far their worst year is 2004 when they ended up on $628.3 million for the entire year.

Doesn't look too horrible until you realise that in 2004 they had the following films yet to come:Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (grossed $84.8 million in 2004), The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie ($81.1 mllion), Without a Paddle would go on to gross an additional $54 million, Team America: World Police ($32.8 million), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow ($37.8 million), Alfie ($13.4 million), and Suspect Zero ($8.7 million).
For 2017 all they have left is mother!, Suburbicon, Daddy's Home 2, and Downsizing. boxoffice.com currently estimates mother! to end up under $30 million, if that ends up being the case Suburbicon, Daddy's Home 2, and Downsizing have to earn over $200 million combined. Not sure that happens unless Daddy's Home 2 somehow ends up being a bigger hit than the original film, which doesn't seem likely.

Apparently Sony have delayed the Sonic The Hedgehog movie again but are still not removing it from their future schedule.

Oh wow, that's a throwback. I remember falling asleep during like three separate attempts at watching it on dvd.
I strangely hope that they go full Sonic 2006 with it.
If it ever happens that is.
I guess San Andreas performed well enough, but I don't think the bad memories of The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 will do Geostorm any favors. Scary weather movies don't exactly have a great track record in the last 20 years.

It's kind of a shame that Adam Wingard had descended into schlockery so quickly.
I could see the response to the Ratchet and Clank movie making them nervous.
?
Day After Tomorrow, 2012, and San Andreas did bank.
Even the terrible Into The Storm did 3x it's budget.
And yet some of the CG shots barely look above what you see on a SyFy movie lol.

Tom Holland - Tails
Michael Jordan - Knuckles
Alexa Daddario - Amy
Paul Giamatti - Eggman
You're welcome, Sony
RIP box office

When will we get numbers for WW in Japan?
A bit over $4M, including previews. Japan has a weird way of counting the weekend IIRC. I think only Saturday and Sunday count in the weekend box office. So the first weekend tally is expected to be a bit over $3M, but the film opened on Friday.

Kswis, do you know how big release The Square will open in the US? Just went up here in Sweden and it got some great reviews and it's mostly sold out at all screens showing it.
Impossible to know right now, since it will no doubt be a platform release, with theatre expansions dictated by WOM/market response.
The film is showing at the Toronto International Film Festival in a couple of weeks. We'll start getting some North American reviews for it after that.
TIFF usually gives us our first real idea of the early contenders for the (American) awards races.

Pretty sad how much better pieces of crap like hitman bodyguard and Annabelle are doing compared to Logan Lucky
That movie had a lot of heart and was hilarious. The three siblings and Craig were so good
Might be the best adam driver role yet tbh

Yeah, the marketing is 100% Soderbergh, from what I understand about how the distro deal was set up.
He got control of how to sell his movie and he apparently didn't come up with an appealing campaign.

I killed Logan Lucky just like I killed The Nice Guys
You don't want to watch a cross between Live Free or Die Hard and Day After Tomorrow, where Bruce Willis is replaced by Gerard Butler, and the director is Emmerich's old producer (who is trying his hand behind the camera after some tv directing credits on things that no one watched)?
This time the bad guys are hacking the weather.
What happened with Baby Driver?

I'm totally watching Geostorm on a plane or Netflix. The premise is aggressively dumb.
