Really well still, still got China and 2-3 more places left to release.
Do you think ~450-500 million dollar is still possible?
Would be insane.
$450M is fairly likely. I think the domestic take has $15M left to go. Overseas holdover business will be at least $10M. That's $385M, with China, South Korea, and Japan left to go. Guardians made over $115M in those 3 territories. Thor 2 made $82M. Cap 2 made $130M. I think that $65M for Ant-Man in those territories is achievable.
I'd say it's very possible, though I'm betting Paramount cuts the budget and looks for Chinese co-funding.

Minions will probably cross $1b this weekend once more international numbers roll in, right?
Let's stick to the conservative side of things and say Terminator finishes with $450M.
Paramounts take would be at least $45M domestically, $85M or so internationally, and $30M in China. That's $160M on the lower end, which I believe would be the break even point for the production budget.
I doubt a sequel would see much growth outside of Asia (Domestic and European takes would probably decline), but a $125M film could do well.
This weekend as in the one the thread is for or the one starting this coming Friday? Minions will break $1B within the next week. Probably next Sunday.
Furious 7 hit $1.16B internationally earlier this year

Stupid question I'm sure but is that Minions number good? Given its marketing budget?

that minions number is excellent given that universal would have paida fraction of that marketing number
not to mention that a spin off has made more than a mainline film
Fox just can't catch a break.
Good, aside from Reverent, they have nothing but expensive filler films coming to FX in a year.
Next year will be different obviously.

They need to stop trying to make Hitman a thing. It's one of those situations where the concept is probably more ripe than the actual brand name, so they just slap together a movie and attach the franchise to it for some extra cash.
It's so odd to me that we've gotten 2 Hitman movie attempts over the last 7 years, but nobody has tried Tomb Raider again.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
By the end of its theatrical run, Pixels will have out-grossed Fantastic 4, an Adam Sandler movie, let that sink in.

Hitman would probably work better as a tv series.
There's also the fact that Universal spent next to nothing (in the scheme of tentpole films) making the film itself. With a production budget of $74M, It will be by far the cheapest film to ever hit $1B worldwide in the past decade. Illumination made a mid-budget animated film, and Universal used that savings to beef up the marketing.
EDIT: Those "close to $600M spent on marketing" articles are also counting all the cross promotional stuff and licensing that other companies paid for as you said.

The nearest AMC only had three showings per day of Fantastic 4 this weekend.
That's by far the fastest I've ever seen a superhero movie get shoved out theaters before.

It happened pretty recently so I kinda forgot about it.
What a crazy year for Universal.

when all is said and done it will be hovering around a 14x budget multiplier which is absolutely absurd
not to mention the mountains of cash they will have been making from merchandise it wouldnt surprise me if it ended up as the most profitable film overall this year

What if Genisys makes more money than T2 due to China alone?
Then a film that was unfairly dismissed by the Internet will have gotten it's due?
It only takes 1% of China.

Where they gonna find that extra 200 million to over take?
Other than a very small scale one-night only thing 10 years ago, Resurrection F is only the second animated DBZ movie to get a theatrical release in the US. This year's movie did $8.4 million compared to $2.5 for last year's. Expect any future films to be a little less limited.
Pixels is 170 mil worldwide right now and it opens up in China in two weeks. I think that's a given.

Me and Scooter should just summarize the BO threads as Eazy E.

He was referring to China.

who needs a wide release anything more than what it got would've made more money. Risk? that movie didn't cost that much to make , especially considering they'd be getting back US dollars for something made for Yen. The showings were very limited.

Today is a sad sad day.
Why should they get one? Making a quality film tends to go a long way toward good BO returns, particularly for R-rated fair.
Kingsman did really well.

Distribution costs money. A lot of money. It's the reason you see some movies just punt straight to VOD in the US, even though they did very well overseas (like Equilibrium, or technically Snowpiercer, I suppose)
There's a very clear ceiling for the DBZ movies.
Pacific Rim gets a sequel thanks to China, and that movie costs more than Genisys.
