The biggest movie star in the world may finally have a flop on his hand

[NOSaintsFan02]

FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Paramount reports Baywatch brought in an estimated $4.5 million on Thursday, from 3,647 locations, which includes $1.25 million from Wednesday night preview screenings. This is not exactly the opening performance we forecasted and it looks like the opening will even fall short of industry expectations. Comparing against a select group of previous Thursday releases and how they played from one day to the next following their Thursday opening, and not accounting at all for previews, a best case scenario would appear to be a three-day around $22 million and a four-day around $24 million, while a more likely scenario would appear to be a three-day weekend in the high-teens and a four-day in the low-$20Ms.

As for Thursday preview results for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales it brought in $5.5 million, an improvement over the $4.7 million for 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which went on to open with $90.1 million over its first three days. This matches the preview gross for Star Trek Beyond, which then went on to a $59.2 million three-day weekend last July. It is, however, less than the $8.2 million preview gross for X-Men: Apocalypse, which was one of our comps in our preview below as it then went on to gross $65.7 million over last year's three-day Memorial Day weekend.

At the same time, this could be the start of big things to come as this is a better result than last year's The Jungle Book, which delivered $4.2 million from Thursday previews ahead of a $103.2 million opening weekend and Maleficent also brought in $4.2 million from previews before opening with $69.4 million.

Damn...so Rock can't put up any big numbers unless it's a huge franchise he's latching himself onto I see.

[Kidd Dibiase]

I mean no one was asking for a Baywatch movie, and he was going up against a franchise.

San Andreas was successful, that wasnt a franchise

Thought this thread was going to be about DC Dave

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Who exactly was asking for a remake of this anyway???

 

[Shadow]

The Rock will be alright.

Dude is still a bankable name, he's still rich and still has multiple movies lined up as well as his tv show.

Regardless who thought this movie would do huge numbers in the first place? Baywatch of all things isn't going to hurt him.
