I am not committing suicide or anything, but it's a bummer that such an utterly mediocre, intelectually lazy and emotionally vapid film is making a killing at the box office; nostalgia is a hell of a drug. However, it is not the first time that the GA thinks a film turd is the second coming, so I'll just have to accept it and eat some delicious crow. You and @That One Guy should form a prayer circle. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if Power rangers and the fucking Smurfs are going to impact this. It has a pretty free run until Fast 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Everything is a competition in some way because they lead to losing theaters and screens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but i think if a movie has so much momentum like BatB it plays pretty much in its own league. Its not like the people who want to see this in the 2nd or 3rd weekend will skip it because of other movies. I mean look at JW: That faced IO, a 90M opener in its 2nd weekend and didnt give a sh*t about it, still grossing 100M+. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty sad that an intellectually vapid and emotionally horrible blah blah blah movie like Harry Potter dominated for so long as well. But that's just me LOL It's true. If someone really wants to, that complaint can slapped on just about any $1B+ earner at the box office. It's just a matter of opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 With a 90-95 2nd weekend it will be at ~320. That still puts it on track for 400 by the 3rd weekend : 320 + 30 (2nd Mon-Thu; -45% from 1st Mon-Thu) + 50 (3rd weekend; -45% from 2nd weekend) = 400 500 is tough to miss. Should be targeting RO/TDK. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarosa Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Love the passive-aggressiveness of ”hey, it’s his blahblablah opinion and [the subtext of] we have to respect it, god bless his little dumb soul for not riding the BATB bandwagon.” Great mb moderation lessons.

The Panda Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 2 hours ago, FantasticBeasts said: Really unprecedented. It must be the biggest Tuesday bump for a 150m opener of all time and by a large margin. For comparison CW only rose 3 percent. It shows it's playing torwards families and that it isn't frontloaded. 100m Second weekend is looking more likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 35 minutes ago, PDC1987 said: So you thought it was only going to open to $80 million dollars when it was tracking for $120 million-$140 million and had already surpassed finding Dory ($135 million) as Fandango's top family film pre-seller ever? Fandango pre-sale information is generally not very reliable, and basing predictions on it has been shown time and time again to be a mistake, as most people on here will know. If you look at other live-action Disney remakes - Maleficent, Cinderella, Oz, Jungle Book - 80M is a perfectly reasonable number to expect. I originally thought 60M or lower as it's a musical, but realised in past couple weeks that that wasn't going to make a difference, so upped my prediction to 80M as I said.

narniadis Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Reading deadlines article makes me realize that future generations will have no clue just how huge TDK was in its run..... first film past 200 in less than 6 days now we have films past 200 in their OW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Will be curious to see the increases for everything else cause if BATB can go +33% than we must have had some pretty great increases all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 People need to understand, that people like us are not general audiences. We watch a movie like every day, but many don't, so there's no feeling of "seen that before", like we have it every once in a while. Also, I'll never understand, why every movie has to be intellectually challenging. There's so many basic food I don't want to miss. Haute Cuisine every day? Not so much. For me, movies, others call dumb, still add to more variety in my life as a movie addict. There's so much out there to love for people like us. We are a very blessed bunch of addicts to be very honest. That's why I don't understand, why so many find so much time to do the opposite of loving movies. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
