Strong performance from X-Men

I was at the theater last night long lines for both Maleficent and Maybe This Time. Maleficent has over 200 screens and with 3D so it will be #1 but Maybe This Time will be a strong #2

So Noah finally crossed 100M For a 25M budget, Million Dollar Arm will not be a big money loser for Disney but the OW is so-so.Let's see if this will have legs Good holds for The Other Woman and Heaven is For Real, I do wonder if they can make it all the way to 100M?

Wow!

Well, I'm not from the US so I can't say really if what I hear from this site could be true. But if this indeed will get a mixed WOM I will get it because I personally like it

Good holds for Rio 2, Heaven is for Real and The Other Woman. Solid April 2014 movies Just watched Godzilla and it was OK but I will understand if this will get mixed WOM

Go Godzilla!

Good holds for The Other Woman and Heaven is for Real! Noah crawling to 100M but at least it will make it

Well yeah it is, Patricia Heaton on twitter is retweeting people who saw it and lots of them are from church groups. and/or commenting about its Christian content

Mom's Night Out budget is just $5 million so $4 million OW is really not bad especially it only had 1k screens. Yes the other Christian movies did better but the marketing for this one was not really heavy on its Christian elements. Legend of Oz as expected bombed hard Stellar for Neighbors

No news yet

WOW for Neighbors

So Neighbors will be Efron's biggest opening since High School Musical 3 right?

Great for Neighbors! Too bad it is on hold here because Universal is being a sued by its former distributor here for breach of contract.
