Alright. There have been far too many big big hits so far this summer. Law of averages means something has got to bomb soon. Doesn't look like it's gonna be Minions either. Tomorrowland and Poltergeist (which opened yesterday at the dollar show) were far from hits. Hell Poltergeist right now at roughly 47 domestic is barely above Poltergeist 2's domestic total of roughly 41. 1986 money. Adjusted for inflation Poltergeist II stomps it at around 90 million.

MGM surely hoped it would be. They're always hurting for dollars, and this was their play at a yknow retro franchise revival.

Jump scare horror movies seem to be the hit. Hell jump scare genre crossed over with Five Nights at Freddy's. Plus name value *shrug*

Tomorrowland is my prototypical dollar-theater movie, something I'd like to see on a big screen but I'm not ready to pay regular theater prices for. Not surprised it didn't do so hot. It's just what Disney does now when it comes to live-action movies. They spend too damn much making a movie that isn't that marketable and isn't quite good enough to overcome the meh marketability by succeeding on word of mouth/great reviews.

It didn't help that the marketing for Tomorrowland was uniquely smug. I should specify that TL isn't at the dollar show yet, just Poltergeist.

I'm happy to see Inside Out holding pretty well. It's already outgrossed that piece of trash Home.

My prediction of Ted 2 being a financial disappointment came true. Watch your back, Terminator Genisys!

My prediction of Ted 2 being a financial disappointment came true. Watch your back, Terminator Genisys! I would have called 33 million a financial disappoint before knowing JW would have made 500 mil by it's release. In perspective, it held it's own pretty well having to face a 2 movie juggernaut in JW & IO. I guess I could still believe it is. Ah hell, who am I to call 33 million a financial disappoint? I would take .33 million on my doorstep tomorrow.

You don't spend 85 million + prints and advertising to put a sequel to a movie that did 54 million its opening weekend on almost 3500 screens in late June hoping to get a 33 million dollar weekend.

Not too surprising, I liked the first Ted, but the previews for Ted 2, didn't make me want to see it. Also no Mila Kunis, I thought she was a good "straight man" to Ted and John's antics, and there's no Joel McHale. It's like Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

Honestly, not to downplay it, but I think the first movie kind of overperformed at the boxoffice because of everyone interest in novelty of a Live Action Seth Macfarlane movie.
