Disney spent all that money on marketing for Muppets Most Wanted and in the end, it wasnt worth it. The first one didnt even make 100m DOM. Peabody and Lego killed this one.

Good midnight numbers but legs will tell the story, Twilight had awful legs.

pretty weak numbers. I thought we were getting into 40+m for both.

lmao @ Pompeii

Today the ladies candidates would be Amber Heard- she cant act and has not opened a box office hit. Yet is the face of Guess, invited to major events and her face on the cover of magazines. The only reason she is barely relevant is because she dates Johnny Depp. Her agent must be great b/c there is no rhyme or reason for her to keep co-starring in studio movies. No one cares. Shailene Woodley- She had a role in Spiderman, The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent, and other indie projects for industry cred. Hollywood is clearly trying to make her into the next Jennifer Lawrence/Kirsten Stewart, let's see if it works. Olivia Wilde-Has not been in a box office hit or hasn't ever been the reason for it. Yet i consistently see her name and face pop up in magazines, events and prestige projects. (Her and Rush to name a few.) Margot Robbie- After the Wolf of Wall Street she just booked a bunch of high profile projects.(Focus with Will Smith, Tarzan) Im sure more projects are coming. Hollywood is poised to try and make her a new star. Chloe Moretz- Hollywood is trying to make her a teen star but she has no real hits to speak of. Carrie was a blimp on the radar, Kick-ass 2 disappointed and Let Me In never registered. Any other films that shes done were supporting roles. Atleast Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus had a Disney fanbase. "If I Stay" is gonna prove her worth, because any success that The Equalizer gets is solely b/c of Denzel Washington. In the past its been Jessica Beil and Jessica Alba, but both have fallen off the map. Rightly so. For the men, the list is verrrrrrrrrrrry long but i dont have the time or space to list them. But here are the main suspects. Ryan Reynolds- Hollywood is still trying it with this guy but the audience will never catch on. He's not good looking or charismatic enough. Chris Pine- Star Trek had success because of the name brand not him. Jack Ryan proves that no one is here for him, yet he still has projects lined up. Chris Hemsworth- the Marvel brand name is bigger than him. Hollywood will continue trying to cast him in lead projects but the audience wont care. Hes just not a good actor. Chris Evans- Another case of the Marvel brand name being bigger than the lead. I bet no one even knows who he is, not a household name at all. All three Chris's are interchangeable as far as im concerned. Chris Pratt- Hollywood is in the process of trying to make it happen for him. But it will be another case of Marvel brand being bigger than the actual star. Same with Jurassic World. Taylor Kistch- for a spell they were really trying it with him. I dont think so anymore but i was baffled when it was happening. Alex Pettyfer- they are still in the process of trying to make him happen but its never going to happen. Zac Efron he is not. Colin Farrell- I thought HW was done with him but apparently not. Winter's Tale and Total Recall prove that no one really cares. In the past it has been Orlando Bloom, Ryan Gosling and Josh Harnett.

Supposedly, that is supposed to be a star vehicle for his daughter. So it may actually get made. But i agree with others that Smith is afraid to step outside his comfort zone. He has the money and power to get quality scripts thrown at him, but hes not interested. Although, i cant blame him for turning down Django Unchained, there werent much layers to the character that Jamie's played. Dicaprio, Waltz and Jackson got the better roles.

He must have a good agent. Thats the only explanation.

Im seeing lots of sell outs for About Last Night and Endless Love. Looks like the teen audience showed up.

Another hit for Hart. About Last Night is Fandango's top choice for both men and women among Valentine's Day movies and has the best reviews.

1)Ride Along 2)Divergent 3)Exodus 4)Annie 5)The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 6)Gone Girl 7)22 Jump Street 8)Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 9)The Equalizer 10)Big Eyes

8m is just fine number, AM will still make over 100m. But fanboys will be dissappointed since hey have huge expectations of 200m+. I never thought that was going to happen, Ron Burgundy does have a large fanbase but its not that beloved; neither is Will Ferrell.

8m is just fine number, AM will st

I agree. I dont really see a cause for concern yet. It's a lower opening than usual but not terrible.

isnt 16m still solid for Madea? Sure its not a huge opening like the other Madea films but they only had a 25m budget. The studio will still make money of this.

You dont have to like Oprah personally, but i respect the hell out her too. The empire that she built is just incredible and her charity, philanthropy throughout the world. An inspiration to many young people out there that they can make it too through hard work, drive and determination. If she wins the Oscar over Jlaw and Lupita, it wont be because of her performance, which was nothing special.

31m is monstrous. Lionsgate is gonna be in deep shit when this franchise ends, Katniss alone makes up about 50% of Lionsgate total yearly revenue. Let's hope Divergent isnt a flop.

Thank you for keeping us updated BJ. I really appreciate it.

Harry Potter has a better developed world, characters and plot; but Harry is the least interesting character to me in the series. On the contrary, Katniss is the most interesting character in her series.

Frozen and CF gonna be neck and neck this weekend.That's great.

NYC Regal Union Square has 2 sellouts for CF, 0 sellouts for Frozen

Frozen doing pretty good daytime business. I think we're looking at a 25m+ Friday.
