Kingsman 2 should be interesting after the surprising tail of the first. Between the first's reception and adding a couple famous actors, it has a shot of taking September.

Same. My friends and my gf have no interest in PR, and I had free time. If you think going to a theater alone is weird, you have some issues not them.
I don't know why you're taking it so personally, dude. It was just a general observation and was never aimed at you in the first place.
Power Rangers is one of those movies where fans are just happy they didn't fuck it up so bad.
I went in expecting Fant4stic and got a lovable cast of misfits trying to bond together as friends to get their damn mechas to work. It wasn't embarrassed of the source and it even embraced the series cheesiness at the end.
I walked out impressed and happy.

That is an odd way of looking at it. Watching a film is not exactly a social activity. I don't look at it any differently than someone watching a film by themselves in their own home.
A judgement aimed with a broad brush is still a judgement. I was simply trying to give a word of advice on learning not to make the kind of assumptions you did, you're free to take it or leave it.
I guarantee most people do not find it weird to see a movie alone. Don't think it needs to be discussed any further, but you might want to update your views rather than calling people you don't know sad and alone
Embarrassing post.
"I don't understand how someone took my insult so personally despite it literally being about them. So weird!"
Okay, chill out guys. We often wonder why people watch movies in groups when you're just watching a screen rather than talking, but most people I know don't watch movies alone at a theatre regardless. I understand there are other people who do things differently, I've mentioned that.
But point taken, some people have taken offence over it. I apologize to those people and I won't make excuses for it. I don't mean to derail this thread.

I think that Power Rangers will get Ninja Turtled after the second film if it gets a sequel.
I have little confidence in Lionsgate's ability to manage a long running franchise.

I could see Power Rangers continuing on. It seems to me they were smart about it. Just don't try to fix what ain't broke. If you loved the show you probably loved this movie. Probably will have to change the cast every 3 movies if aging out is a concern but that's probably not a big deal.
Frozen, Episode 9 and Infinity War part 2 all in one year?! Disney plz, show some restraint. Throw the other guys a bone.

It bombed pretty hard in Australia, and got beaten out by Life. To be fair, Beauty and the Beast expanded to wide release here the same day, so both films were gonna get slaughtered regardless.
I think I made a mistake in assuming the tracking for Power Rangers in America would be matched at least in other Western countries, the international haul for it is abysmal.

WHO IS BUYING THAT SHIT?
Umm, parents for their kids?
Talking cars with faces will always be a hit with kids. Look at Thomas & Friends and how much merchandise it sells. The show has been around for more than 30 years and it's as strong as ever.

Kids don't fit into the same clothes year after year, and you're lucky if they like the same toys six months on. But they still love the same logos and mascots, Disney makes sure of that.
Back when TFA was running, I did a series of graphs comparing its run to other films that ended up making $900M+ overseas.
I thought that it would be interesting to do something similar for Beauty and the Beast and Fate of the Furious, only focusing on Worldwide gross as a comparison. I have picked a number of (mostly recent) films in the $1.05B to $1.35B range to act as a comparison, as I expect both films to land in that range.
The chart lists the cumulative totals for the first 7 weekends of each film's release, as well as the LTD worldwide gross as the last data point.
Surprisingly, xaosslug's thread creation history is one of the best places on the internet to find weekly worldwide grosses for films. No one has bothered to consolidate that data in an easily accessible format that I have come across. The best thing that I ever did in these threads was start the trend of including the Rentrak/Comscore worldwide chart in the thread OP during one of my first fill-in for xaosslug back Nov 2013. Props to him for keeping it going for 3.5 years.
Anyhow, I you might notice that some of the movie titles have note markers:
* Minions and Skyfall started their runs 2-3 weeks before the domestic release date. I decided to cap early overseas grosses to one week so that we wouldn't lose too much relevant data to those early territory releases. The Marvel films typically have a large portion of their overseas territories launch a week early, so I figured this was a good compromise.
^ I don't have an actual second weekend WW gross for Frozen. xaosslug didn't do the worldwide chart that week, and I slacked off in reporting WW numbers for some reason. I approximated that week.
When Fate of the Furious launches, I will add it to this graph as well.

I think it depends. TMNT had poor marketing, tried to throw every possible thing into the movie and didn't have a good release window like the original.
If PR doesn't try to do too much, the Green Ranger hype could do wonders.

I'm still holding out hope Cars 3 is a gritty meditation on the trials of an all-star athlete suffering a crippling injury.
And then we will get to May and Trailer 2 will be nothing but Mater gags.

One of my favorite cinema experiences of last year was sitting in an IMAX theater alone (plus one other stranger) watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. If I remember correctly after Alice 2 bombed, Paramount and IMAX threw together a last minute deal to give TMNT the screens for the week, so I guess nobody really knew about it. It gets points with me for that.

Geez, what did Frozen do in that 7th week to jump the line like that?

John Travolta gave Adele Dazeeem, let it go singer, his blessing and then it's 7th weekend shot up
I think Let it Go blew up around that time, also it opened in Japan and was #1 forever.

Horrible! Just horrible!
BTW, nice work up there, kswiss. China's opening was part of the second week for both Civil War and Iron Man 3, so with better legs, Beauty and the Beast looks like it can get to at least $1.2B.
The graph goes from week 7 to LTD, and like many animated Disney films, Frozen had a staggered release overseas including a historic Japan run as Anth0ny stated.

My two trips to Japan were almost ruined by them playing Let It Go over and over and over
Naw, this is the reverse Ninja Turtles. The second one did so bad in comparison to the first because people got conned into seeing the first through nostalgia tease. They didn't bother to see the second one because they got burned on the first. Power Rangers is a legit good film that stands on its own and also satisfies people's nostalgia. It'll have decent legs in theaters, and will find bigger success on home video/streaming services. The sequel will have a much bigger opening than the first because of the goodwill Lionsgate has established with this film. Think Batman Begins -> Dark Knight.

I wish I could walk in when the kids ask their parents to buy them Dr. Dre "What's The Difference?" on iTunes.
You know, that catchy song from the Despicable Me 3 trailer.
Lol.

I wonder how much money power rangers made in merchandising
It still amazes me that Frozen did 250M in Japan.
Not in the 7th week, it's actually the difference between the 7th week and the total gross. Japan likes to get films super late and it blew up over there, plus the super long legs it had in a lot of other countries means huge difference between 7th week and final gross.
Sing also heavily featured Eminem in its trailer, didn't it?
I think that's what boxoffice.com is predicting.

Gotcha, it still helps put into perspective how madly impressive its run was, that song and movie were part of the cultural zeitgeist for the longest time. Heck, people still chuckle to this day when somebody says the phrase "let it go".
Japan's love affair with that movie is nuts. I mean for Pete's sake, this is a thing:
