Don't know if someone responded, Orphan Black chick, tatiana maslany. She's getting a lot of recognition might have to check out the series.

 

Told y'all about a soft drop on sunday. Increase seems too good to be true though.

LOL I beat you

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

And am I the only one that feels the "gross threshold" is getting bigger? I cant imagine people wanting to spend $13 to see something like Peeples, Side Effects, and The Call, but movies like Fast 6, IM3, and Oz many people don't have a problem. I feel like people think more carefully now about what they see and if its worth the money (I mean a date of is $26) or if they should wait for Netflix/Redbox. I feel like spectacle is probably the biggest draw, I mean why spend $14.50 to see Peeples when you can wait 5 more months and rent it for a $1? But why wait 5 more months for F6, when its a movie you just haveee to see with a huge crowd?

 

Personally, something like NYSM or Internship I can wait for Redbox, but of course I'll pay for Mos or Fast 6. And I believe that soon we'll have less "middle gross" movies because of this. We'll have huge blockbusters - 3D and inflation and "must see spectacule" and then more smaller gross movies. Am I the only one that feels this?

Yeah I defnitely agree with you. budgets are also going to get bigger and bigger trying to create more and more spectacle so audiences will see the movie in the theatre. In a age when you can stram a movie for free online, why would you pay 12 dollars to see Peeples in the theater. I kind of feel story will be sacrificed in favour of style and the spectacle.

That was brutal. We all got fucked out of 50K Points or so.Lowest estimate was at about 240M or so.

LOL wow. Yeah I was pretty surprised when it underpreformed but I wasn't like invested it in or anything. Unlike some people.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Join us next year. In the Sun.

Mmm it sounds stressful. The meltdown when Star Trek underpreformed were intense.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

OMGsddfdsfH 8 pages! It's funny I'm not even in BSG.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

   

 

Are you trying to create flame wars? It's okay, we can get to 250 pages on our own at the rate we're going 

Oh NO! i love harry potter. I was just kidding. I guess fitting was the wrong word. Funny is a better word. It's funny how they beat Harry Potter's record set a year earlier.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Kinda fitting that another Marvel movie cross an important milestone 10 years after Spiderman, the flagship character of Marvel did it.

It's also kind of fitting that they both beat out harry potter's record set a year earlier lol

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

So no one knows,my avatar that's disappointing

orphan black

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Kinda makes you wonder where it's headed in the future.

 

2002 - $100m

2007 - $150m

2012 - $200m

 

If that pace continues we could have a $250m opener in 2017 and $300m opener in 2022.

Some people thing 250 might be sooner  say 2015?

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Yep. Kinda crazy to think about. It took so many years to get a $100m OW, and only a decade later there was a $200m OW

Wow crazy

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

And there is a record it will never lose. First movie to make $100m opening weekend.

So true 

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Records are made to be broken. TDK fans felt it when Potter beat the record. Potter fans had to succumb to the Avengers OW.

 

This is the way it goes. Spiderman held that record for forever. It's only fitting that Superman is the one to break the record, lol.

yeah I'm good. Technically SM still has the record for the highest OW for the first live action outing of a superhero.  Meaningless record, I know.

Has an opener ever INCREASED on a Sunday?

 

If not MOS just might be the first.

 

The movie Valentine's Day increased on the sunday. For obvious reasons lol 

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

So it will probably beat the only record the Spiderman series still has.  Almost makes me sad. 

 

Edit: Well I guess SM1 still has the record for highest OW for the first live action outing of a superhero. lol 

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

so 12 PM EST

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

when does it have to get to 250

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

What was Superman Returns cinemascore?

b+ A- for under 25 though.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Thanks guys  Okay, 30 pages to go 

You mean 20

What did I miss? Sun could increase from Sat?

Maybe, probably not though. Matinees are up 18 per cent from Saturday but RTH says Green lantern's matinee's were up 18 per cent but the over all day was still ten percent lower than Saturday

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Is +18% for Father's Day matinees really that unusual? The actual will probably be a little higher than the estimate, but I think we're overreacting.

RTH said it wasn't unusual aparrently green lantern had 18% for father's day as well.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Star Wars us confirmed for July?

I don't know, I was asking.

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

July 2015?

when is Disney planning on releasing Episode 7

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Going to see it in 3D.. Does anyone know if the 3D job is worth it or should I just go see it in a digital theater instead?

The 3d was pretty bad in my opinion

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

LOL at Nikki posting something that is completely normal and saying it's unusual

[REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)]

Is matinee not day? I'm confused.

Matinee is morning day is whole day
