Really should just shoot the dragon ASAP

Rth seems to be backing the $13M number for Sausage Party but is putting Suicide Squad at $12M on Friday.

That would be an 82% drop from opening day (73% if you remove the Thursday previews).

BvS dropped 81.6% Friday to Friday (73% minus Thursday previews).

Threads about to get fun

BvS couldn't fail properly. Can Suicide Squad? Can Hulk finally shed its shame?

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

I think the Olympics are having a palpable effect.

 

[Kusagari]

I think the Olympics are having a palpable effect.

Nobody is skipping out on the movies to watch the Olympics.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Agreed. And if it is having an effect, it is minimal.

Saw Pete's Dragon tonight, actually. It's a solid film. Nothing fantastic, but it's very well made, and kind of a tearjerker. HUGE deviations from the original.

Getting closer to 70%

Considering it did 8 million on thursday a 50% rise on Friday would be the worst percent increase from any comic book movie this year

 

[reelbigtink]

Pete's Dragon is probably selling poorly because the story looks like something that was told a million times before. How many variations of King Kong are we gonna get Hollywood? Seriously. I've seen so many cartoon episodes as a kid watching child/woman befriend misunderstood "dangerous" thing, with everyone eventually trying to kill it. Enough is enough, Jesus.

It could be because the original King Kong is one of the greatest and most important films ever made.

Who you calling a mutha fucka bitch?!

Bronson, specifically.

 

[vinnygambini]

Bronson, specifically.

Pls proceed

 

[Zelenogorsk]

With the circles i run in the word of mouth went from mixed to nothing.

Maybe because i already saw it but I felt like this movie came out ages ago. Really want to see its (lack of) legs.

Pete's Dragon is probably doing poorly because unlike Jungle Book the original was a forgettable and unloved film created during one of Disney's low points.

[DeathyBoy]

It'll still be the biggest film this summer.

How weird is that? Suicide Squad curbstomping Alice, X-Mwn, Star Trek and Bourne at the BO... and still being seen as disappointing bo.

We live in a strange world.

Wait, what about Finding Dory?

Talking animals don't count. Suicide Squad had Cheetah it'd have seen a billion.

Suicide Squad had a talking bat.

Look on the bright side Warner Bros, your films keep breaking records!

 

[BlizzKrut]

You're really keen on wanting this movie to fail aren't you?

 

[twinturbo2]

WB isn't going to learn their lesson, will they?

I heard Wonder Woman may be another disaster, and if that one is true...

 

[Setsuna]

What is wrong with you people ?

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

What is wrong with you people ?

Well, we can't enjoy watching the DCEU, so watching it fail is the next best thing.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Well, we can't enjoy watching the DCEU, so watching it fail is the next best thing.

Yep. I wanted to enjoy these pieces of garbage, but what can you do? I'll watch them burn then.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Well, we can't enjoy watching the DCEU, so watching it fail is the next best thing.

It's kind of irritating for those of us who enjoy their films. (Yes,I liked SS and BvS)

 

[BronsonLee]

I demand Anthony be shot

 

[milanbaros]

What is wrong with you people ?

There is nothing wrong in finding enjoyment in seeing terrible films fail.

 

[CaviarMeths]

If it has a 69% drop, it would come in under Guardians of the Galaxy's 2nd weekend... after opening $40m higher.

Bad movies failing and good movies succeeding is good for getting more good movies later.

Don't take things personally and realize you might have bad taste in movies. The movies are not just different. It's not just opinion. They have glaring film making flaws.

There goes any argument that the WoM for this film was better than BvS.

 

[boiled goose]

From my anecdotal experience, word of mouth has been worse because it seems people had higher expectations
