that would be so funny if Bay launched this and it was sold as a Michael Bay film and it made a ton of money

Too bad for Deliver Us From Evil

I think Deliver Us from Evil will have some durability. Good # for Transformers. It will not break 300, but it is showing slight more strength than Godzilla, Spider-Man, and X-Men despite the holiday boost. Better than expected for Earth to Echo. People will pay. Maybe there will be some slight frontloading. Good for Tammy. Despite bad buzz, I think the Wednesday opening will hide the bad buzz and it should play decent still throughout the summer. Hope people are motivated for Apes. Dragon is an example of why it might not do so well.

I think Nolan deserves to be mentioned given all the disappointing blockbusters. Interstellar will kick ass. It is like in the 90s when you would see a trailer for something and then people would mark the date on their calendar and go see the movie as a required event within their year.

how high will Transformers open? Spider-man opened at 4,324 locations and Captain America averaged $24,130 on opening weekend. Multiplying them together gives 104.34 million. UNDER/OVER??

Exit Wounds, Independence Day,

i am guessing that when Mario Brothers came out, people felt the same way

.

all of my opinions are unpopular

saw Edge of Tomorrow last week. what a shame it is going to top at 100M when comparing it to other films to open this year. just like in Spider-man 3 when spider-man takes Eddie Brocks camera and Brock says "WHAT THE HELL!!"

it seems from the current Summer trend, that Transformers will do something like 85/220 and Maleficent will be #1 this summer. LOL. But actually weekdays and a likely 100M OW and good scheduling may quickly position Transformers past 250M in a few days.

hopefully Transformers will not impact anything next weekend.

Rio 2 lost 73 theaters this weekend and played at 310 locations. It averaged $1323 per location, making 410k for the weekend and dropping 1.4%. It will be released on video in 3 weeks and 2 days. it has a total of 127.37 million. disappointing since The Croods was released in October and had all summer to dominate the dollar theaters. Still, in the next 3 weeks, if it averaged 0.5 million per week, that puts it at 128.87 million and maybe dollar theaters will push it to 130. Lego Movie took a hit and is now averaging $587 per theater at 315 locations. it is 19k above Captain America for #1 of the year, so this last minute dollar theater push was not enough. They should have tried harder earlier. IDK why stuff has to come out on video so fast?????????

Just watched this back to back on tv. Saw it once in theaters 3 years ago. I thought it was good by default formula, therefore i left feeling empty and unsatisfied. Now I can see what all the fuss is about. def 3.5/4 stars and not 3/4 stars llike what i originally had. The X-Men always make good movies. x3 and wolverine 1 are just for the action

Since Maleficent and 22 Jump Street still opened big, as well as Fault in Our Stars, I do not think I will let HTTYD2's lower than expected numbers hinder my outlook on other weekly summer tentpole pictures.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Jack the Giant Slayer. Battleship. Grudge Match. 47 Ronin. Transcendence.

.

and IM3 of course

Spider-mans opening, upon reflection, now seems marvelous.

Maleficent got the chunk of the summer first apparently. #1 of the summer is anyones guess. Lets see how the politics in the country are during July. Guardians of the Galaxy and RISE of the Apes may crack 250 each.

very disappointing. I was predicting a 90M OW. I have a feeling, the Saturday increase will be good. +50% from real Friday #. Look for 22 Jump Street to not be so frontloaded.

I guess now it comes down to: how can Interstellar beat Hunger Games for #1 of the year!! unlike the disappointing summer, Interstellar will be the movie to go to.
