caramellakers:

okayyyyyyyyy sure but you also forgot:

• it’s the BIGGEST live-action comedy debut since Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)
  
• it’s the THIRD-BIGGEST live-action opening of the summer (behind only X-Men: Apocalypse and Captain America: Civil War, both HUGE ASS releases) 
  
• it’s the SECOND-BIGGEST live-action/non-superhero opening of 2016 (behind Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book) 
  
• it’s the biggest opening weekend ever for Paul Feig (director), Katie Dippold (writer), Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, and even Andy Garcia (ANDY FUCKING GARCIA)
• it’s Kristen Wiig’s second biggest live-action opening weekend (behind The Martian)
• it’s pretty damn big for even Chris Hemsworth (below only the MCU films and Snow White and the Huntsman)
  
• Paul Feig has a track record of consistently solid box office sales rather than big opening weekends
• the audience was 57% female, which is an UNUSUALLY high proportion for a blockbuster 
• a large proportion of people who refused to see it ~on principle~ clearly don’t give a rat’s ass about cinematic quality because most of the initial reviews prior to release were at least favourable if not straight-out raves

and finally,

• i’m going to see it three more times and drag as many people as i can along with my antisocial ass because guess what, i’m every stubborn, blockheaded, misogynistic dude’s worst nightmare
