 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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
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.

Hitting $200m or hitting $196m kind of makes no difference.

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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
They might push it to reach $200m with an IMAX re-release in about 20 years.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
Yeah it will still need a little bit of push from WB to limp past $200m though I now strongly believe that it would.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
By my calculations, it should make it there in early July without a push as long as it keeps some theaters.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
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.

 Re: Will Warner Bros push Godzilla to $200 million?
Man, this is gonna be tough. Still a tad over $2,000,000 away. And already under 400 theaters.
