I like Millenium, I like Reynolds, I love the song and this seem to take place in Amsterdam. Look forward to it.

It is an appealing star combination, but the trailer does not scream MEGA-HIT to me. Not distinctive or hilarious enough, and it could do more to sell the concept (why does the world's most dangerous hit man need a bodyguard?). I believe it will do well, but not spectacularly well.

22/77

It won't be a MEGA-HIT, but I thought that trailer was fucking hilarious and I've seen nothing but positive reactions to it. August is such a shitty month this year that something like this can definitely breakout if the rest of the marketing is as good and the reviews are great. It should do well though.

I'll say 22/60 for now.

I see a $100m breakout and an R-rated movie with Reynolds should work well specially and action comedy. I think it can open big $35m and crawl to $100m with decent legs.

With such a weak August there is potential for this to breakout. At the very least I see something like 70 Million.

It's pretty funny they're doing this take on it, but on the other hand I'm not sure if the parody angle works in the right way.

They know the audience are going for comedy movie so goofy or parody angle should work in its favor IMO.

Seeing how awful this summer has been for comedies I really hope this breaks out. It looks hilarious and it has a great hook. I'll need to see some reviews first before I join Jack Sparrows club though.

Well believe it or not I still think $100M+ isn't going be such an easy number for this to reach, especially without seeing any further marketing. I mean just look at how the rest of the summer comedies have fared so far.

Its an action comedy, not out an out comedy like the summer fares. Also comedies not doing good means good thing for this, it just needs a decent score at RT and it would surely breakout.

... I'm not really feeling this. They're doing a ton of pre-screenings so I'm seeing it next Wednesday.

This has more starpower than Let's Be Cops but I'm not feeling above 80m for this. Maybe with such a dead slate it'll do well but idk.

The dearth of competition will buoy it, but the advertising is not funny enough for it to be huge, in my opinion. It will do around 15m more than Baywatch.

A really weak August should help it's legs, but the marketing has been far too muted for me to think it will go anywhere near a $30M opening. I hope I'm wrong, but a high-teens/low 20's opening might be the best it can do at this point unless Lionsgate seriously steps up the advertising and reviews are stellar.

I think it will open between $28m and $35m, and it will reach $100m. It doesn't need to have a huge following. It's a non-sequel action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Sam Jackson. It can be quiet until release and still make $30m (which, face it, is not huge these days).

$29m/$91m

Though Logan Lucky could provide some decent competition. Shame both are coming out on the same weekend.

Even though the trailers aren't great as the first I still feel this will over-perform and do $100m.
