Post Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
The way it looks, it should make it to $195-196 million by itself. I wonder if WB will push it to $200 million with some sort of late-summer re-expansion in order to avoid having the negative record of being the highest opener ever not to hit $200 million.

It will make it without pushing.
The lack of faith here is sometimes confusing.

It'll probably lose 1,000 theatres next weekend and when Transformers: Age of Extincion hits released, it'll probably at at 1,000 locations at most. It simply won't have the chance to develop any sort of legs from this point on.

Sony will be able to shift a few hundred thousand over from 22 Jump to push Spidey to $200M. WB doesn't have anymore tentpoles this summer... So I'm going with no. $197M final.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2's $200 million are not in any danger. It stands at $196.3 million, coming off a $1.9 million weekend.

World War Z made $1.8 million in its 7th weekend for a $195.9 million total and finished with $202.4 million. Granted, it was given a one-weekend re-expansion, but it would have hit $200 million without it too.

I don't think WB cares about it hitting $200m. They've already had one movie hit $200m this year. But The Amazing Spider-Man 2 must be a slight worry for Sony, although I fully expect it to reach $200m.

It's not just the way it looks on paper. Hitting certain benchmarks (like $200 million), usually means that they can sell the TV license for more money.

Isn't that usually decided by percentages? Hitting $200m or hitting $196m kind of makes no difference.

No, it isn't. I think mark66 has written about that before.

No, it isn't.

I have seen many deals where it states "20% of the theatrical gross" for TV rights, so your statement is not totally accurate.

I'm don't think at this point that a re-expansion would help it reach $200m as well, unless maybe if it gets an IMAX release. But even then if this stays below $195m (likely) then I don't think $200m will happen.

They might push it to reach $200m with an IMAX re-release in about 20 years.

Yeah it will still need a little bit of push from WB to limp past $200m though I now strongly believe that it would.

By my calculations, it should make it there in early July without a push as long as it keeps some theaters.

It's not getting there unless Tammy pushes it over.

$8m away and a harsh theatre drop on a non-weekend before TF4 kills it next.

Yes, it will probably lose about 500 theaters this weekend and 500 when Transformers opens, so WB will need to reexpand it come labor day.

Man, this is gonna be tough. Still a tad over $2,000,000 away. And already under 400 theaters.
