Spectacular for Jersey Boys. Honestly, haven't been more wrong all summer. Thought it would only do that much in its entire OW. Thought it looked like crap and had no appeal to most audiences, and I'm a huge theatre person. Mediocre for TLAM2, though strong relative to budget. Won't increase from the first though, which has to be a let down. Honestly, I have little interest in seeing TLAM2, and I absolutely LOVED the first. It has nothing to do with the reviews, it just LOOKED unfunny. Trailer was very poor, and made it look like the HO2 of this franchise. And honestly, the sentiment was shared by alot of my friends- and we're the main target for this movie! Disappointing, because the first was an absolute sensation here.

I regret getting caught up in the Dragon hype and putting it so high in the summer game. No one I know references the original and it just didn't FEEL big like DM or Frozen or past non-Pixar movies like Shrek did. It doesn't have the cultural resonance. Hell, I don't even know one trait or character that has crossed over and made this special. It lacked that special something, and it didn't help that marketing sucked. I just got caught up in hype post DM2/Frozen/Lego.

I'd say Dragon should be less front loaded than MU because of a lack of Pixar fanbase. Also, MU skews alot older on OW because the original is super popular among my generation, who sees midnight movies. Overall, strong start. Should do 70+

In my first prediction I ever made on BOM, I predicted Iron Man to do 100/315. Nailed it! I made up for this stroke of genius by predicting 250 for Prince Caspian and 410 for Indiana Jones.

Great for Jump Street, considering that it was up against the NBA finals. Should do 25+ OD for sure.

Jump Street-148 percent

Oh, duh! Yes, those three absolutely, especially Sam and Brienne. I realize this, and I realize that this isn't a traditional series with the same protagonists and antagonists. At the same time, there has been a massive buildup of this character selection, and those are the storylines people can really connect to. Adding a character or two a season, like Oberyn or the Queen of Thorns, has been brilliantly effective because how well they mesh with other storylines, but creating entirely new subplots that are independent of everything we've seen so far makes it a bit dry. That said, if Jamie and Bronn are really going to Dorne, that's something that can help make things alot more interesting.

Here's the thing- the number of characters in the show is already exorbitant and all consuming, especially for non-readers. There's barely enough time as there is. Adding in multiple major characters from completely new storylines just doesn't translate as well on screen as off. People care about Tyrion, Dany, Jon, Arya, Cersei, Jamie, Littlefinger, Varys, Sansa, Stannis, Davos, Jorah, the Hound, Ramsay/Theon, and heck, even Bran. That's the characters that people have followed and fallen in love with over years of watching and reading. The Dornish and Ironborn subplots being introduced just aren't as captivating, especially for unsullied. The first three books are some of the greatest of all-time, but GRRM's problem isn't that he writes too slow- it's that his fourth and fifth books concentrated so largely on subplots and characters that we have no reason to give a fuck about. It'd be like following Harry Potter through the Goblet of Fire, and then the fifth and sixth books spending most of their time on the inner political workings of Hufflepuff. I know y'all will disagree with this, but anything done to streamline and add excitement from those two books, the better.

Wait, Jamie and Bronn are gonna have a buddy cop adventure in Dorne instead? Thank GOD. Two of the best actors on the show teaming up, and what they do in the next two books is just so, so boring and wasteful. Kinda like 90 percent of the next two books, so really, thank God they're changing alot, it looks like.

That was gorgeously done but at the same time I can't help feeling a bit blue balled.

There's no way you can say that among my generation/the kids I went to school with. I'm no fan of the series, but love it or hate it, people my age will always remember that shit. Period.

Twilight might not be an action movie but it obviously has a supernatural conceit and strong fantasy elements. From what I can gather, Fault is a drama about cancer. Beside the fact that they're romances popular among young women, I don't see much comparison. The Vow or the freaking Notebook are much more accurate comparisons honestly.

Call me crazy, but just like with Divergent, this doesn't feel like something with 1/16th the pop culture relevance or mainstream attention that Twilight or Hunger Games had. Maybe it's just cuz I'm older now, but Twilight and Hunger Games characters and terminology and shit became ingrained in pop culture. I don't even know the lead character in this or Divergent's names.

Why would this possibly be as big as those movies?

I think that makes 50 million a pretty solid bet, but doesn't guarantee much more than that necessarily. I could see this being one of the worst midnight to opening weekend ratios ever.
