Clearly, I vastly underestimated the public demand to see stupid teenagers get killed by Facebook.
Low 180s when actuals come out tomorrow it is then.
It has a slight chance, maybe like 5-10%.

Universal is making money with crap. It's insane. Blum literally turns shit into gold.

That is some crazy ROI. Someone is popping champagne and snorting off hookers.

No, I don't think they did. I had my shit scaled in proportion to this film getting a 200+ opening weekend.
I mean, I already knew I was going to lose that thing spectacularly, but this is on some "I called Duke to go to the Final Four in my office pool" shit, and the Michigan Mayweathers took a dump on my bracket in the first round
This is kind of overblown. The only event people might miss avengers for would have been the fight. You could catch the game 7 and still see Avengers, no one who cares enough about the Derby to make a day out of it even has Avengers on their radar, and the hockey game was only game 2 (the most missable game out of a series).

Paul Blart stays winning.
5% RT and still more than doubled up its budget WW.

Two isn't even at half the first movies haul. I don't know where else it has to open overseas, if anywhere, but right now it has made 1/3 of what the first did there, and half what it did domestically. And now Avengers is out there taking all the box office money.
Seems like a slightly risky move to go for a Third movie with that kind of drop. Unless they make a fuck ton on DVD/Blu-ray/On Demand. Which I imagine is very possible. I guess I wouldn't be surprised either way as far as a sequel goes, but I wouldn't bet on one happening for sure.
Its all up to these guys now
I'm so used to Entertainment Weekly's shitty covers, this is real nice looking.
They have been blocked...FOR REAL.

Curious as to what next week's drops are going to be. Word of mouth on this one doesn't appear to be AS good as it was for the first one, and it's already started at a disadvantage. The fight took a chunk out of its Saturday, and people are pointing at other sporting events being distractions - but those things are consistent year to year. There's always going to be a Kentucky Derby and the NBA playoffs right around this time, there's always some other huge distraction or another that previous box-office champions have had to go up against.
So with a slower start and less positive word of mouth - how much does this thing drop next weekend?

How I have not seen this?Its all up to these guys now
Yeah maybe they shouldve released it a week earlier domestically like they did for the rest of the world. I still dont get why they make the U.S. wait

1000%. Disney to be forced into bankruptcy by people asking for refunds for everyone of these movies do to how shit AoU turned out to be.

So you're leaning in a more conservative direction. Playing it safe. I like it.

To be fair, I can still see the scenario where the mass refunds lead to the crashing of the world economy, the start of World War 3 and the end of human civilization as we know it but I don't think we'll see a disaster that big until Batman v Superman.
They have to sell some assets to save them from bankruptcy, like before

Well everyone wanted X-Men and Fantastic Four back with the rest of the Marvel IPs, so I bet people will be elated at Fox acquiring The Avengers.
Furious 7 and Age of Ultron have the same 6.7/10 critic average though.

F7 was one of the best super hero movies I've seen in a while.
I would actually like to see a Singerifyed Avengers. Would probably have Deathcry, USAgent, The Forgotten One, and Dr.Druid as a lineup.
Yeah, I think one of the biggest factors of F7s insane success was Walker.

There is not a chance in hell F8 does as much as F7. I think it could be a better movie, easily, though. This one definitely felt a little strange at parts (not even talking about the near fourth wall breaking ending) presumably because of Walker's death and the re-writes that caused. Also, give me wayyyyy more of The Rock.

Pretty sure these movies are going to primarily be Diesel/Rock centric going forward.
They have to be, especially with Tyrese headlineing Green Lantern.
films that mainly appealed to males lost their screens and business to Avengers and sporting events.

Also, drive in double features with Avengers.

Maybe they'll do an updated version of this.
Notice Luke, Leia and Han relegated to the small right corner and Jar-Jar is the FRONT AND FUCKING CENTER PIECE
Ah. Those too. I forgot some markets still have drive ins.

The perfect match for Thanos. Both of them are said to be super powerful, neither of them have done anything to prove it.

It's like poetry.
Shit poetry.

Seems like the most obvious way to go. No one else in the extended cast could step up to the co-headlining role nearly as well. So, it's that or bring in a brand new actor, which could be awkward and certainly would be risky. F8 focusing on Diesel and Johnson with Snake Plisskin as their boss kind of writes itself.
Yep, Diesel has gone on record saying that Kurt Russell's character will have a much bigger role in F8 after all.

Are there enough Drive-Ins (we have one in the Portland-ish region) to account for that jump, though?
