How are the holds for CM looking so far? When can we start getting an idea of what kind of legs it will have?
If you want to breathe easily, wait for the third weekend estimates to come in on the Saturday.
It being from the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the only thing I know about that movie, as all of the advertising I've seen for it puts that front and center.
I was just curious how much we can pull from the numbers we have so far, honestly I'm more than happy with how it's done already and I have a feeling Disney is too. Obviously I'd love it to have good legs though!
Looking at those weekend estimates, Five Feet Apart won't only *not* bomb, it'll be a modest success compared to its budget.
Also looking at those numbers, Captive State may still bomb relative to its budget, low as it is.

The reason it's not getting any director credited is that even though the original director was fired, he had directed the majority of the film by the time he was let go. Even though others were brought in to finish the job, they weren't able to film enough to take the directing credit away from the previous director. Hence the decision to list no director at all. Films with no credited directors reportedly has happened before; but it is a rarity in the industry nonetheless.
Needless to say, I don't think that TV show is happening at all (or get further than one season if they still produce it, anyway). It's going to be another Paraflop Pictures release and another misfire from their animation division after gracing the world with Monster Trucks from early 2017.
EDIT: And it's another misfire as well for Ilion Animation Studios as well in the Hollywood industry, they were responsible for Planet 51 from ten years ago.

Endgame will break OW domestic, Int and WW.
Endgame will become the second highest overall gross behind Avatar.
Endgame will miss Star Wars domestic total.
I'll judge Captain Marvel after the second weekend, but the film could end up with very bad legs.
Maybe an end of life boost during Endgame release will happen.

Infinity War's worldwide total barely beat Avatar's international gross.
And Endgame would need a $100m increase worldwide to go past Titanic.
Could it do it? Maybe. But I wouldn't bet on it.
I do think the OW number though. The question is by how much. And can it beat Force Awakens Thursday preview numbers.
Shit...I remember watching this in theater because Avatar 3D ticket keep getting sold out for weeks.
The DoD drops and theater average.
But so far everything is just very early indicators. Need to wait for second weekend numbers.
For me Endgame has anything going for it.
People who want to see Captain Marvel in Avengers.
People who want to know how IW continues.
Those who didn't want to watch Captain Marvel because of the "not made for you" controversy would still watch this movie.
People who went to Marvel because they finally feel represented would watch the Avengers now.
China is still growing and this movie comes after a hugely successful IW and a good Captain Marvel there.
I think CM will have legs just for the lack of competition and the people who weren't excited but feel they should get around to it before Endgame.
To clarify, it's not that it doesn't have excitement around it-- but it has those two additional factors to boost if further.

All the numbers we got over the week has shown good to great legs for CM. It seems like you want the movie to do bad and are ignoring anything that says otherwise.
Yeah, Endgame will be gigantic after the James Gunn goodwill stunt Disney pulled. Apparently he was already hired few months ago. They just wanted to boost their public image just before Endgame. People love Gunn, Endgame's going to break things.
It was my most anticipated game of 2019 at the start of the year
When are we gonna get a good game that lets us fly like Iron Man mang
I mean, if sliding's more of your thing.
The actual reason seems to be he was about to start the press tour for Brightburn and they wanted to get it out before that, but the goodwill from the firing certainly alleviates some people who planned on "boycotting" I suppose.
There were a few people saying that they wouldn't see anything Marvel again after Gunn got fired.
Granted, CM was making a billion with or without them, so Endgame probably isn't going to be affected much.
Quick Update: According to Deadline, Wonder Park is projected to open between $20-22M! #Blessed #Blockbuster #SlayvenReedemed
Gunn was involved in writing and helping with GOTG scene in IW. Considering IW and Endgame was shot back to back, safe to say he's involved here too.
And the firing happen after Endgame wrapped filming but before re-shoots.
Looks like CM beasting to a 19+ million Friday and 72+ million weekend to an amazing sub 55% drop.
Pretty bad concern trolling there bud
If this holds I wonder if Cpt. Marvel will break a billy... kwis input?
Oh yeah, Zach right? Who kept having the avatar with him wearing the infinity gaunlet anyway?
Is he still on here or did he leave?
He and a few others have already said that a billion is pretty much locked.
I had zero industry awareness in 2009, so I have no idea if this falls in line with what I've said or the opposite of what I've said lol
I just know Pilgrim fell on its ass in the end
self requested ban because of the "toxicity" on this site
this was almost immediately after smearing shit on the walls and calling out members for their toxicity for defending themselves from his garbage
A Billion is the floor, after the weekend 1.1 is likely the floor. IM3 made 1.2 and BP made 1.3. I'm guessing those might be in play
Eh. He did bring a good amount of it on himself, but some of the dog piling was unwarranted. The whole situation was messy.
Glad to see you over here. We can talk about The Divergent tv show
How is this concern trolling? Movie is a crowd pleaser plus has little competition plus has an added incentive to see with Endgame coming. What's my angle supposed to be?
I just realized that counting CM and Endgame the last 4 of 5 marvel films will have made over a billion dollars! Jesus Christ....
Box Office: 'Shazam' Eyes $40 Million-Plus Opening Weekend

Early tracking, however this part:
The only part they overdo the budget was in their 1 million for costumes :v

I thought this was going to break the trend and I was very wrong.
I was more referencing how people on the old board were freaking out about the movie and how it was going to be this monster hit. Then it came and went like a fart in the wind. I don't know if that was what your original post was about or if I misinterpreted. If I did, apologies.
Man I bet the red pill and the incel crowd are losing their shit
What did most people there at those times thought about Michael Cera as the lead?
See, two of the responses were jokes. There is no need to get so mean and serious.
I feel attacked.
Most didnt like it.
But I am in the weird minority that really likes the movie but can't fucking stand the comic book.
