As previously mentioned, Dark Phoenix had the worst opening ever for an X-Men film. By a wide margin.

Godzilla drops almost 68%. Ouch

Great hold for John Wick. Terrific box office improvements with each chapter.

Aladdin looks to finish with close to $300 million.

And Avengers is still chasing Avatar.

 

[Jake Lipson]

Ouch for both of this weekend's new opener sequels.

I guess the box office will wake back up for Toy Story 4.

 

[TravisR]

Am I the only one who thinks Men In Black is going to flop? And I mean like people-lose-their-jobs kind of flop.

Am I the only one who thinks Men In Black is going to flop? And I mean like people-lose-their-jobs kind of flop.

It has a relatively low budget at a reported $110 million, and is a co-production of Sony/Amblin with companies in Abu Dhabi and China, so the risk is actually quite low. And with its globe-trotting setting, it should play well worldwide.

It'll be interesting to see how it does perform. Chris Hemsworth has a history of bombing when he's the lead outside of the Thor/Avengers movies.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I get the sense that the movie wasn't made for the U.S. audience and that any business it does here will simply be gravy.

 

[Malcolm R]

Most likely correct. I think we'll see more of this as the worldwide box office continues to become larger and more important than simply the North America market.

 

[Jake Lipson]

Am I the only one who thinks Men In Black is going to flop?

As Malcom noted, the financials aren't particularly steep on it for a film of that size. However, just personally I don't really want to see it, and I don't know anyone who is chomping at the bit for it. I might consider it if the reviews are great, but the trailers haven't impressed me, even though we know from Ragnarok that Hemsworth and Thompson are a winning combination.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I'm seeing it because of Hemsworth and Thompson.

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

I am chomping at the bit to see it because of Tessa Thompson!!

 

[Robert Crawford]

I am chomping at the bit to see it because of Tessa Thompson!!

So am I as I have a major big screen crush on her.

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

So am I as I have a major big screen crush on her.

I totally get that

She's awesome and just lovely, too!

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I had really good luck seeing Dark Phoenix at my local, normally unimpressive Regal. Even though they don't have an AMC-type subscription plan so it costs me a lot more to go there, there's something about being able to leave the house 10 minutes before showtime and then being back home 10 minutes after the movie ends, vs. a much longer trip to the AMC. So I think MIB: International could be on my radar if I wind up with nothing to do and an urge to go out, but I won't be upset if I miss it either.

My family are going to see it, if only because it re-teams Thor and Valkyrie from the MCU! But I was a little surprised this afternoon, when I checked the Cinemark app for Thursday's showing in XD, not one ticket had been sold! I didn't expect a packed house, but maybe a few tickets had been sold? Oh well.

Oof

 

[holtge]

Wow, outside of Disney, the big budget new releases this summer have been one major disappointment after another. Sure hope Disney continues its hot streak next weekend with Toy Story 4.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Chris Hemsworth's inability to open a picture where he's not playing Thor continues.

4 2 Dark Phoenix Fox $9,005,000 -72.6% 3,721 - $2,420 $51,767,350 - 2

That has to be one of the worst second weekend holds for a wide release ever.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Chris Hemsworth's inability to open a picture where he's not playing Thor continues.

It’s a shame because I think he’s a much better actor than he gets credit for, but he’s my go-to example on how movie stars no longer exist. People come to see the character or the franchise, not the actor.

As for the Dark Phoenix hold, that’s in Amazing Spider-Man 2 territory.
