Post Atomic Blonde (July 28) preidctions
Restricted trailer:



Had no idea this existed before the trailer tease yesterday, but now I am hella down for this. That is an excellent trailer. Seems like it could break out too. Theron isn't really a movie-opening headliner (she hasn't successfully opened a movie on her name alone before), but she is still a major name actress. This actually reminds me a bit of Lucy, being a female-led, R-rated action flick at the end of July? It won't open as high as that film (Focus is distributing this, somehow), but I sense a breakout, and if this is as crowd-pleasing as John Wick, it could have good legs through August as well.

Opening: $23.8 million
Total: $79 million (3.32)

i actually think this has 100m potential. Salt did 36m (40m adjuted) in this slot and Lucy did 43m (47m adjusted). Mid-to-late July is going to be an open marketplace for a July month. The other films are somewhat geeky (Valerian and Dark Tower) or serious (Dunkirk) that this will appeal to people just looking for a solid carefree summer entertainment option.

I think it can do 30m/100m.


I agree it has that potential. The main thing holding me back is that it's Focus distributing (they've only had two movies ever top $63 million), and that Theron hasn't really had a hit movie that belongs to her. But then again, I guess ScarJo didn't either before Lucy, so maybe it'll work out for her.

Similar numbers to Salt and Lucy seem distinctly possible and would make perfect sense given the plot and release date.

This. Movie looks awesome, though.

Even though I really want to see it I was thinking like 28 million total. I suppose it will help that the trailer should be with Fate of the Furious.

This sounds right to me too.

Remake of Haywire in the style of John Wick. Low 30s finish.

Guys, this is being distributed by Focus Features. The powerhouse that steered Nocturnal Animals to a whopping $10m, engineered the mighty $27m total for the 6-time Academy Award nominated Dallas Buyers Club, and has never had a movie gross more than $83m (it was Brokeback Mountain).

And their highest-grossing actioner? London Has Fallen at $62m, which is their third highest-grossing film ever.

Atomic Blonde ain't reaching $100m.

And reviews for Atomic Blonde are mixed. I feel an action film like this needs overbearingly positive reviews for it to make a significant box office haul.

Focus Features is just starting to get into the bigger/more mainstream movie game. No reason this couldn't at least do London Has Fallen numbers.

What makes you think that? And what makes you think they'll be any good at it? I mean, A Monster Calls was surely more mainstream-friendly than its $3.7m gross suggests (the decimal point is in the correct place! lol). They'll probably screw up Atomic Blonde's release as well.

Will this be hurt by coming directly after Dunkirk, Apes and Spider-Man?

I'm thinking low to mid 20's opening, 70-80m total.

No, but it'll be hurt by being a second-rate female version of John Wick.

This will probably have the best soundtrack of the year. Don't get me wrong, Baby Driver's music worked so well in that movie but for me personally it's not music that I want to listen to that much outside of the movie. The music in Atomic Blonde I'm already a fan of and am really looking forward to hearing it in the movie.

I hope this will be successful enough to launch a series :sweat:.

A review on RT says it's "More John Le Carré than Jane Wick." ;) So not really sure how audiences will feel about it.

Charlize Theron gives the same vibe that Sharon Stone did 20 years ago.

This doesn't look like it will get close to $50m OW or $100m+ total.
