Bridesmaids made $169M and the Pitch Perfect sequel made $184M (although the original was only $65M)

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on Jul 14, 19:51 in response to lobogotti's post sleeper #5, do you think it's Bad Moms? drawing a blank

It's possible for a well-received female comedy to get in the high 100s, and that looks like the number needed for #5 this summer. Not sure if this plays like the original Pitch Perfect (and thus the low number) or Bridesmaids, but I'm leaning closer to the latter. Now, it won't open BIG, but it could play steady all through August if it's really good and word of mouth gets out...it's great alternate programming for the likely month of Suicide Squad all the time...

I think they're still ignoring the damage "The Bourne Legacy" did 5 years ago. It's been 9 years since Damon was Bourne. Who cares anymore? {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 14, 11:28

Damon as Bourne fans - he's still a popular actor {nm} JDolphin Jul 14, 11:45

yeah don't you watch Duck Dynasty? lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 18, 07:22

What damage? People just decided not to bother seeing it. I didn't think it was a bad movie at all. diamondman56 Jul 14, 13:30

Agreed. It was an above average action thriller that could have stood on its own. Shoehorning the "Bourne" name and mythos in did neither BSmurf Jul 14, 16:14

if BORN5 and TREK3 open to $50M or less and Ghost doesn't break out, XMEN6 will most likely keep the 5th spot lobogotti Jul 14, 11:36

Not thinking any original can possibly bust out to $160M total BO, huh? TwoMisfits Jul 14, 11:50

only 7 films have done it this year. 4 were before summer started and the 3 summer films, none were original. lobogotti Jul 14, 12:00

Nothing original or substance coming the next 2 weeks, then you start to run out of time to get there by Labor Day weekend on legs alone shadowking Jul 14, 12:07

you want to admire something? we're halfway into the 7th month of 2016... lobogotti Jul 14, 12:13

Last year, at this point, the difference between 4 & 5 was 353 to 200 (or 5 & 6 if you count AMSNP as 2015) {nm} JDolphin Jul 14, 14:20
