I love how Denzel doesn't seem to stick to one studio, I'm just curious about how he gets his work, I wonder if he finds scripts and asks studios if they want to be involved or if the studios send him scripts in the hope that he picks one of their films that is probably tailored to his specific needs.

I had similar thoughts. Looking at it purely from a BO perspective I can't help but think this guy could be huge if he gets involved in some sort of franchise potential films.

Yeh very true, do you think he intentionally avoids anything that could be made into a sequel?

So Denzel has never done a sequel? Is it his choice or have none of his films been 'big' enough for one?

Bourne will drop close to if not just over 60%, TE2 will definitely have some sort of affect and if you also factor in the mixed WOM I definitely do not see more than 100m for TBL

Domestically I do not see how Bourne can pass Safe House, but it can make up some ground OS mostly from goodwill and general interest remaining from the OT.

I see Bourne closing out around 90-100m.Not impressive but not a complete disaster, we'll see if this finds an audience OS.

Yep

Denzel is one of the few BO draws left and probably one of the most consistent.

I don't think any director could have delivered the perfect Potter without being allowed a 3 and a 1/2 hr run time.

2012 has 8 200m films vs 2011's 7 already. I'm just grateful this year has taken such a massive turn for the better.

I cannot seem to find The Bourne Legacy Under 40m OW thread.

Didn't Inception have a B cinemascore? Shutter Island was a unique film with very mixed WOM which in the case of some films acts as an advantage, it forms into curiosity which can be as powerful as good WOM.TE2 will hurt it next weekend.

That is huge for Bourne, didn't think it would be able to overcome rebootitis but 48m would be amazing and huge for Universal which is having an even better year than last year.

45% increase off of what I'm assuming will be a 3.7m Thursday should lead to 5.5m Friday or so based off of my head calculations.

My bad, thought it was a recent post of mine. That is something I would say

You've quoted me there? Pretty sure I didn't post that second quote.

It's just normal, not overly impressive or disappointing.

I thought that THG had a more impressive BO run than TA, don't let it bother you to much. Just like I think it is more impressive than TDKR.It isn't that impressive when a reboot gross drops 20% less WW than the last film in the original trilogy, it is about on par with Xmen FC which wasn't impressive either. My expectations were low and it will exceed them barely that doesn't take from the fact that it is still less impressive than it should be.I'm anti something when I either see a film and don't enjoy it and when that film gets a sequel, like COTT.

If only it was that simple. :lol:We've seen weirder crossover discussion before.Do you think 700m is still possible?

Most of us began on the BOM forums, some even joined in 2002 like baumer who still remains a part of the community. They shut the forums down and ShawnMR had set up refugee forums during Mojo days that we used when BOM crashed so we all decided to go there temporarily because well IMDb forums wasnt an option for us, then Shawn set up forums on his blog site Box Office Theory so again we all moved there and finally the forums became a part of BO.com.

Just a random thought but does anyone remember how awesome September and October of 2010 were back in the Mojo days? I remember having so much fun tracking The Town, Easy A, The Social Network, Paranormal Activity 2, JA3D and Red. I hope we get something similar this year.

You are wrong about my opinion on TA, I thought it was a good movie and gave it an A- I think. I don't have any personal bias whatsoever towards any superhero character, I'm not a comic fan at all and never read one, I really am not that invested in these characters just BO and the films. I predicted 230m domestic and 450m OS for TASM, I think I upped my TASM prediction a bit before release and copped alot of slack for these predictions and in the end I look to be much more correct than most people who gave me slack for my predictions, I'm just having a little fun with you guys! :DI never watched BB in cinemas and looking at it's BO figures I would have called it what it was, a weak reboot BO wise just like First Class was also a weak BO reboot.Do not fear ijack I will be cheering with you when IM3 and Thor 2 are released but I will definitely be anti-CA, TASM2

TASM has average WOM.
