They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
They clearly didn't market this, because I'm also siting here like, They made a Goon sequel?
The first was pretty great.
Great first day for spidey. Wonder Woman might still have a decently held weekend.
Also, I know this is far off, but is Disney really going to release Avengers 4 and Star Wars Episode 9 in the same month? Both are set for May 2019 release currently. I was hoping for a 6 month gap between the two avengers movies and not a year. Aren't they being filmed back to back?

Huh? There's been plenty of successful films that aren't Superhero films this year.
Now, Superhero movies seem to be stronger / a safer bet than maybe they've ever been but this narrative its all comic book films or nothing thats popping up is false.
If you aren't in Canada, you never received the film.
UK is getting it in September. IMDB still has the US release as "2017"

2 of those are Disney owned (and I was debating myself whether to put that into my post) and Baby Driver/Boss Baby, are not what I had in mind by blockbusters.
I meant in terms of original IP.
Zootopia wouldn't count?

Yeah, I'm in Canada. Had no idea this was out.

Zootopia is a 2016 film.
So they're just talking about this year?

Jeez, if I was Sony I wouldn't feel good about this lineup.

In terms of successful new non Superhero IP in 2017 off the top of my head Baby Driver, Split, 47 Meters Down, Get Out

Yea I am very excited to see it next week. Loved the first two. Considering it has good word of mouth already, it should do really good.

Yeah War looks amazing.

I actually loved Zootopia, and am very happy it was so successful.
Pretty much. What I am asking for is unrealistic, but it would be nice to have a good new blockbuster of a movie.
Why wouldn't we/it might be for the best?

I should probably watch the other Apes movies before I go see the third one, huh
My first midnight premiere was, you guessed it, Snakes on a Plane.

I'm in Vegas for the weekend, so I won't be able to keep up with the thread as much as I liked, but great OD for Spider-Man.
Everyone who predicted $120-130M in the contest is in a good spot right now.

My first midnight premiere might have been The Avengers.
I didn't go to the Star Wars or Harry Potter ones in the 00s, and my city didn't really offer them outside of mega-events until this decade.
I caught a lot of the early sneaks that would happen for some films before midnights/thursday previews were standard.

Sub-40% drop for WW even in the face of Spider-Man.
At least they'll always have video games.

You'd started out saying "anything that isn't a Superhero film is pretty much doomed at the box office" and I was going to post a lot of examples. 47 Meters Down is quietly having an amazing run, for instance. John Wick 2 did great. There are several others.
Modifying it to "blockbusters" narrows the field a lot. But this year we had Get Out, which made $175m in the US on a $4.5m budget, and Split with a $138m take on a $9m budget. (You can argue technicalities with that one, but I think it counts given the presentation.)

And hey, audiences could watch Dark Tower twice in the amount of time it takes to watch any other movie at the multiplex once! Efficiency!

Yeah I probably should have stated what was on my list and what wasn't. Get Out is a good example, and Split is a decent one too. However, I have already admitted that my request is unrealistic at best and outlandish at worse.
Im pretty excited for this film, McConaughey hasn't done anything good since True Detective.
Hmm...
I thought this was gonna bomb?
My favourite was The Dark Knight Rises, although not exactly midnight. Warner Bros. cancelled all midnight screenings of the film both here and in the UK, as it had to open concurrently with the first screenings in the United States. So, the multiplex I go to came up with the 'Breakfast with Batman' solution for everyone who had bought tickets for, or was interested in, the midnight opening. Screenings would start at 5am on every screen they had, then when the film finished, their restaurant had cooked everyone a huge breakfast; sausage, bacon, eggs, mushrooms etc - a huge fry up to start the morning. A great, once off, cinema experience.
Well, Reeves said there is room for more movies in the franchise, even if it's not a direct sequel to War
Assuming that War doesn't bomb, of course.
Please don't bomb.

It probably will, but will be an instant cult classic.
Learning what's at stake with Valerian has really made me interested in how it does at the box office.
Hope it works out.
Sounds awesome. When Rises came out I saw the Batman triple feature. Rises did start at 0:01am though here in Germany. Weird that they canceled your midnight screening.
Double post.
Why? Because it looks like crap?

Split counts. No one knew going into it that was part of the Unbreakable Universe
A triple feature would've been great, I never did get to see Begins in the cinema.
Yeah, it was really strange at the time, but that's the only reason they gave. People had tickets booked months in advance, cancelled all midnight screenings about a month before it came out.
I did.
Only reason I watched it. I have no idea why the rest of you gave Shyamalan another chance without this bit of knowledge.

The amount of people who knew vs didn't was likely very small.
In fact I'd go so far as to say the majority of people who watched Split in theatres have probably never even seen Unbreakable. M. Night himself even talked about that

Trailers looked cool and it reviewed well.
