Not a lot they could do about the title beyond Big Friendly Giant
That art design though REALLY takes some getting used to

Big Friendly Giant would be a huge improvement over people thinking it's a movie about a big fucking gun.

That's just Doom flops
But yeah they probably weren't allowed to change the title, or Spielberg didn't want to
So Tarzan isn't going to bomb?
Nah it's still gonna bomb

I think we also disregarded the old fart money. My approaching 60 year old parents are going to see Tarzan this weekend. Apparently my dad loves Tarzan.

you can't possibly calling anybody old slayven
If that $14M Friday for Tarzan holds, the 4day opening will be in the $45M range. The box office bomb of the year thread loses its chosen son. Busty was right a couple of days ago.
All hail Gods of Egypt. Long may it reign in box office disgrace.
WE STILL GOT 2 MORE DAYS...FUCK! THAT WAS PERFECT BOMBA MATERIAL
~$45 million opening is still bad for a movie that cost $180 million. It's just not as bad as many of us expected.So Tarzan isn't going to bomb?
Good, I was worried a bomb would hurt Sam Jackson's careerHow disrespectful of you

Women.
Gay men.
Old white dudes.
They really should have put Margot Robbie in skimpier clothing, then they could have snagged the creeper demo as well. Could have been a true four-quadrant movie. Might have pushed it to $50 million this weekend.

I guess we shouldn't have doubted the superstar talent of director David Yates; A man who entered Tarzan as one of only 3 live action directors with a lifetime theatrical average of over $300M per movie domestic, along with such luminaries as J.J. Abrams and Colin Trevorrow.
Wow. What a stacked card of talent right here.
Purge Anarchy was aiight Bronson. But first was terrible. I'll check out the third on Netflix fo sho

One of the main bits of promotion is that "story" about Margot hurting Alex in a sex scene. Worst year ever for marketing

Lol Tarzan opening decently wasn't that big of a suprise to me. For a awhile now i've seen lots of interest in it, particularly in my demo, 20-somethings, who have LOTS of nostalgia for the Disney movie. That movie is very fondly remembered. I don't think anyone realizes this one is NOT a Disney remake but still, seemed to worked
Wow. What a stacked card of talent right here.
Yep. And that's on top of a cast featuring two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz, two-time Academy Award nominee (and GIF favourite) Djimon Hounsou, Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson, three-time Scream Awards winner Alexander Skarsgård, and Golden Schmoes Awards breakthrough performance AND Best T&A of the Year award winner Margot Robbie.

There's a reason he got the movie made when Guillermo Del Toro couldn't.
Margot Robbie feels like one of those actors that will be everywhere for 2 years, then poof gone
Suicide Squad will save her. Jai Courtney as well...maybe.

You know what the difference is between Del Toro and Yates
Yates makes money
and his movies come out on time
RE: Margot, WB's kinda had her pegged as their star for a while now. Wouldn't surprise me if Suicide Squad blew up her name
Margot Robbie feels like one of those actors that will be everywhere for 2 years, then poof gone
Denise Richards syndrome?
Robbie is a decent enough actress, so she'll probably continue to get roles until she hits her mid 30s or so when Hollywood finds a new crop of 20 something blondes to pair with their 40 something lead men.
Jai Courtney always make me think of Micheal Jai White. THose Divergent films are done aren't theySuicide Squad will save her. Jai Courtney as well...maybe.

Hey Micheal Douglass got to have a love interest, who do you expect Mimi Rogers? I had a huge crush on Mimi Rogers after her playboy spread

she 26 now, so that gives her like a full decade to get money off her sex appeal before they have to recast for the younger, sexier model to star alongside Tom Cruise and Will Smith...or whoever the equivalent is in 10 years
We probably wont have an equivalent in 10 years smh

Purge 4 already in the works. Keep that budget at 10M and you can make them forever.
Looking at recent horror franchises in the past, it looks like people start of get sick of a concept after 3-4 entries, and producers give up on the series a couple entries past that.
Horror films are so cheap to make that franchises are pretty disposable.
EDIT: I updated my Friday estimate post above with percentage drops. Shocking news, ID4R won't have legs! Also, Warcraft is losing audience faster than a F2P MMO.

Have your eyes recovered?
Yeah, ID:R had those legs telegraphed, but boy that's still one hell of a drop. Tight clustering in the top 3, but Dory will still take the weekend thanks to Saturday. Tarzan is in the interesting situation of both doing better than expected, and not good enough given the budget. But there's probably a small sigh of relief over at WB.

Needs more Purge in tha Hood, and Purge in Space.
Surprise, surprise, expanding to Swiss Army Man to over 630 venues shows that general audiences are not interested. $800 PTA yesterday, and probably under $3k for the weekend.

Tarzan and The Purge had their Fridays inflated by Thursday previews. Dory was still ahead by a couple million on Friday proper.
In 10 years we will have Tom Cruise doing Liam Neeson movies and it will be GLORIOUSshe 26 now, so that gives her like a full decade to get money off her sex appeal before they have to recast for the younger, sexier model to star alongside Tom Cruise and Will Smith...or whoever the equivalent is in 10 years
