Why do you think it will have a 40% Saturday to Sunday drop?

Front loaded female audience, inaccurate overall weekend estimates, media fluffing to soften the blow to the female stars, etc.

Do you remember "Transformers: Age of Extinction" had its Opening Weekend numbers bumped up because Paramount was embarrassed of <$100M?

Nope, wasn't paying attention to box office at the time. A Google seach turns up nothing on the matter - care to provide a link?

Like I said before--not only is Sony probably going to lose out on even worldwide gross, but there's profitable engines (Feig, etc.) at risk

Where it will really lose out is if it can't release in China, where Warcraft and Pacific Rim made up a lot of their domestic losses {nm}

From Thursday night estimates to this morning, "Ghostbusters (2016)" literally dropped $10M. Read the forums here for all that jazz.

With "Pets" strong and "Star Trek," and "Ice Age" opening. "Ghost" will far to 4th (Maybe 5th) next weekend... Ouch.

"Suicide Squad" will kill it too--women will abandon "Ghostbusters (2016)" for Harley Quinn, not to mention supporting her supervillainesses

First older women will abandon it for Bad Moms in 2 weeks, teen girls and twenty something for Nerve. It's legs will be stumpy.

I FORGOT "Bad Moms!" That rips McCarthy & Wiigs's audience right out from under 'em! Wow! "Nerve" is still uncertain as to how high it'll go

How could you forget Bad Moms - that's the best comedy trailer of the summer?:)

Actually, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore are excellent writers--but this is only the 2nd time they've directed their material (since 21OVR, meh).

Sidenote: I think it qualifies a flop since it set the franchise back a step--opened at 27.7% less than "Ghostbusters II" inflation-adjusted

Speaking of franchises getting set back--also looks unlikely "Independence Day: Resurgence" will make a profit, thus unlikely for a sequel.

The real question is going to be the adjust numbers, how will it preform? Like a Cinemascore B+, frontloaded action, typical MMCCA?
Baron_Darcon

+1 on MMCCA taking a hit. "Bad Moms" is in DIRECT contention, as it's the exact same demographic that usually goes to her movies.
