Will Furious 7 beat Avengers 1 or will it fall slightly short? Needs $12 million.

Despite all the noise surrounding Legendary looking for a new home after leaving (getting kicked out of) WB the deal they made with Universal apparently isn't all the great.
Under the terms the deal the stuff that Legendary self finance the studio pays nothing (not even P&A costs) and just takes a percentage for letting Legendary use the studio's distribution 'pipes'. So whatever happens (Blackhat) Legendary are entirely left holding the bag.
I imagine that Universal will retain an option to throw some cash into the PR sequel if they really like what they see.

100% will top it.
And Marcel and Star Wars. Well, we were screwed anyway.

I dunno it's literally crawling. It's been in theaters for two months now.
12 million is the worldwide number needed, not domestic. There is no scenario where it won't make at least 12 mil more worldwide.
It will likely top that number, but it will be close. Last week was only $7M worldwide. The movie is more or less done when Jurassic World steals large quantities of screens worldwide in 2 weeks.
Most films were underestimated on the weekend.
San Andreas - $54.6M
Mad Max: Fury Road - $14.2

Cool! Does that mean MM ended up above Tomorrowland?
I told my coworker to go see it. That's it's totally worth it.
Instead he goes to see Tomorrowland and San Andreas.
Whatever his loss!

Those 3 were so close.

missed it by that much, goose.
Mad Max should be on top of both next weekend, which buys it another week in the Top 5.

3 new movies are opening. I don't think that's happening.
Heh. They were certainly reaching with that $10m even estimate for Aloha.
I already accounted for that.
Mad Max has been holding significantly better than Pitch Perfect, and Tomorrowland will continue to drop like a rock. That only leaves San Andreas ahead of it from the holdovers. Even if the 3 new films take 3 of the top 4 slots, Mad Max will be #5 next weekend.

What's the total in China for Age of Ultron? For some reason BOM doesn't have it.
Hey I don't know if anyone here has brought this up yet, but this is something that I think this particular part of GAF would be interested in: http://fantasymovieleague.com/
You get to make picks on what movies you think will do the best in the box office with some sort of budget, if I understand correctly, sounds like fun.

Mad Max so clooooose to sticking in that top 5.
Entourage going up in flames like a bag of douche on a barbecue.

Insidious was packed last night... With teenagers. Never again for me on a Friday night!

He's also a producer on the Peanuts movie.
Insidious 3 ended up with a $10.4M Friday.
The Purge opened to $34M on this same weekend two years ago. Insidious will be well under that though. Probably $21-23M.

Budget was 30. Don't know how much they spent on marketing.
How much did they spend on Ed Hardy and Tap out shirts?

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Entourage going to flop so hard.
Sex and the City 2 vindicated!

How did they expect this to be successful? Didn't even hear about the show until the movie was announced.

Vinnie Chase is box office gold. How could the flick have failed?
I don't know what anyone involved was thinking either.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
so is tomorrowland a legit bomb or just a disappointment?

Who is the audience for Entourage? People who just wanted a male Sex and the City? I just saw the trailer for it on front of Spy and thought "oh wasn't that a TV show? Wow, they're all so douche-y and not funny whatsoever".
Aspiring douchebags, I'd presume.

So it looks like Mad Max wont get a China release (next few weeks are already scheduled) and then the "protection period" starts. I doubt it gets a release after that. Would have loved to see it here
That's a shame if true. China could've done more for Mad Max's box office numbers. Studios will gladly send Transformers 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 over to China, but not a good movie like Fury Road?

Had the exact same thoughts upon seeing the trailer.
"Why would I ever want to be around these people for a minute let alone a full movie?"
Insidious 2 was a total piece of shit so I'm not surprised the third one is underperforming. It's rather cheap though so it should end up making a decent amount of money despite its drop.
The Conjuring opened in July and made a ton of money for a horror movie.
