What are you talking about? TASM fell 70% when it really mattered. This Monday hold merely indicates some recovery, but again it's this weekend's hold that is really important.
Nope. Japanese weekend is Saturday-Sunday.TF3 opened to 7M (10M including previews on Friday)Inception OW was almost 8M (9M with previews)So, it appears Inception was less frontloaded, yet only managed a multiplier barely over 5x.
Potter was pushed to beat ROTS by Warner Bros. This isn't going to happen to TASM.The film is grossing less than 7M, while still playing in over 3000 theaters. It's going to lose those screens very soon.
Don't forget about Obon holidays in Japan. Last year TF3 with a similar release date had 8x multiplier. Curiously, Inception, also with a late July release, only managed 6x.
So you give it 4x multiplier from this weekend domestically? Keep dreaming. ;)This is poor performance for TASM. It is now locked to finish below SM3 OS gross, and it's going to miss 500M, unless it really explodes in China.
It will be worse. Similarities with Conan are uncanny. Honestly, who needs this remake when the original, starring Schwarzenegger is considered classic?
Bourne is a violent movie featuring lots if guns, gunfire. Not the kind of film you would want to watch in the aftermath of a horrible shooting massacre.Total recall for me is this year's Conan the Barbarian. What was Conan's opening? Total recall should do similar numbers.
