V: buried in SUICD tracking article. [BORN5] is on pace for a launch in the $50 million range. Antibody Jul 14, 11:25

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

interesting lobogotti Jul 14, 19:05

At this point 2014, the highest movie was CAPA3 at 258!, and the highest summer movie so far was DOFP at 229 {nm} JDolphin Jul 14, 20:18

If XMEN6 holds on for the Summer #5 spot, it will be the lowest film in the top 5 since 1998 (DPIMP at just over $140M.) {nm} second gary Jul 14, 12:19

yeah, one of those 3 films have to bust into $160M... just seems improbable that one wouldn't. {nm} lobogotti Jul 14, 12:23

Every year we have a surprise late summer movie TwoMisfits Jul 14, 13:35

Compton and Millers did not get there by the time the contest in question ends. I do not consider TMNT an original property. {nm} shadowking Jul 14, 13:50

From my understanding, the contest lets every movie that opens before Labor Day count all its Box Office... TwoMisfits Jul 14, 13:58

Maybe I'm wrong (wouldn't have changed the poor picks I made anyway) {nm} shadowking Jul 14, 14:05

I think you're right; in 2015, MISS5 passed PITC2 after Labour Day to claim the #5 spot. {nm} second gary Jul 14, 19:29

sleeper #5, do you think it's Bad Moms? drawing a blank {nm} lobogotti Jul 14, 19:08

Yes... {nm} TwoMisfits Jul 14, 19:46

Bridesmaids made $169M and the Pitch Perfect sequel made $184M (although the original was only $65M) TwoMisfits Jul 14, 19:51

But why it's been a sleeper for me and I couldn't pick it out right in the top 5... TwoMisfits Jul 14, 19:59
