A big reason that Saving Private Ryan had such a pull with the older, "patriotic" crowd was that it told a WWII story from the US POV.
The "Greatest Generation" and baby boomer audience that is less likely to go out for a movie was pulled in because of the domestic connection. I have a feeling that Dunkirk won't have nearly the same pull in the US due to it being a story mostly about British and French forces.
Also, Ryan got to 7x thanks in part to an Award Season re-release that netted it an extra $26 mill. It's "end of summer" mult was a bit over 5x.
is WONDR starting to run out of gas?...it's last few versus-same-day-last-week drops were bigger than GOTG2's... Jul 13, 12:48
THR: Wonder Woman Holding Better Than Any Superhero Movie in 15 Years Jul 13, 12:53
WONDR only dropped 24 percent yesterday, could see a soft decline of 35 percent or less this weekend. It's doing great. {nm} Jul 13, 12:58
At this rate it'll surpass GOTG2 no problem. Congrats to the 2 peeps who picked WONDR as #1 for the Summer Pick 5 {nm} Jul 13, 13:04
Agreed. Not many saw that happening... {nm} Jul 13, 13:55
Dunkirk hasn't even come out yet {nm} Jul 13, 15:06
(Saving Private Ryan had a 7x multiplier from a $30m o.w. on the same date in 1998) {nm} Jul 13, 15:19
When's the last time a movie, opening in the summer, had a 7x multiplier? Jul 13, 16:24
well, Saving Private Ryan for one. Jul 13, 16:42

Should say, recently. 7x just doesn't happen anymore. Unless Dunkirk somehow breaks out in its OW, not going to happen. {nm} Jul 13, 16:59
o.w. is less important for Dunkirk than WOM with older/"red state" audiences (imo). no real competition through Labor Day Jul 13, 17:22
Sorry, don't see it happening. I'm going with 38M OW/122M DOM/340M WW {nm} Jul 13, 17:42
i'm not going to predict anything until i see it but i'll take the over {nm} Jul 13, 17:49
(even if it only had Hacksaw Ridge's 4.4 multiplier, that would be $176m on a $40m o.w., for instance) {nm} Jul 13, 18:24
Except Hacksaw Ridge opened in November. {nm} Jul 13, 18:42
yeah I saw this article as well...but then confused myself when I looked at the last few days {nm} Jul 13, 14:53
Last week was July 4 though, so you'd expect a bigger-than-normal drop. {nm} Jul 13, 12:57
Day 39 and 40 vs last week were 7/3 and 7/4 holiday. {nm} Jul 13, 12:58
ah crap.. that's right...should have looked at the calendar =P {nm} Jul 13, 14:51
