  1. I hate Lebron... I really do but he seems like a nice guy and I don't see why he wouldn't be friends with a sports doctor who has worked with him on several occasions

    Of course them being friends could be possible in real life. But if you see the movie it doesn't really work here. Hader seems like he doesn't even really like him. But just hangs out with him because he's Lebron. While Lebron is just a mindless goof in this movie. There's no connection between the two that would make it seem like a realistic friend ship. Going into the movie I thought it could work, but I don't think it did after seeing it.

  2. Isn't his character a sports/athlete doctor?

    Yeah that makes sense why they would know each other. But never explains why someone like Lebron would want to be such good friends with Hader character. They just make Lebron a goof and expect the audience to buy it. Heck Hader character doesn't even seem like he likes Lebron half the time. Maybe it just seems stupid to me, because I've heard so many stories about how Lebron really is and how he has this big entourage. So real life Lebron would never been friends with nerdy Hader.

  3. It doesn't surprise me that Ant-Man isn't doing huge numbers. The concept is just silly and honestly it doesn't look that great. I have no interest in seeing it at the theater. Which is why I saw Trainwreck tonight instead(which I was slightly disappointed by). That's a big difference between Guardians and Ant-man, because Guardians, was a must see for me on opening night.

  4. Oh please with the spin already.

    You said they would both be at around 2,500. You were off on both, but with JW it was off by 600 screens!

    Plus your posts repeatedly said that JW will be on par with TG in the number of screens they'll keep ("Jurassic World has as much or less show times than Terminator Genisys" is a direct quote from you). So now you spin your obvious and clear mistake as if that's what you meant all along. You never admit you were wrong, even when the quotes are right there as proof.

    BTW, you do realize that right now your positive spin on TG is that it might actually possibly hit 100m and has "only" lost 969 screens on the first weekend where it could lose any? That's some impressive spin right there.

    You really need to get a life lol. I was basing it off screens for the weekend from 10 nearby theaters. It was a guess based off that. Relax already, don't take everything so serious lol. Either way I'm happy with Terminator Genisys having 2,814 screens still. I was expecting it to be losing more.
  5. LOL yeah, but I guess he thought he'd edit it before anyone noticed / quoted.

    gb0708, maybe go back and edit this post too:

    The only thing I meant to edit was. That Terminator wasn't going to lose 1,000(I meant 1,200 screens)screens and Jurassic World a few hundred and that they would be in a similar amount of screens. Yes I did think they would both take a bigger hit than they did and I'm glad they didn't. I thought Terminator and Jurassic World might be seperated by 100-200, so I was a little off by it being 300. The whole point is that both Terminator and Jurassic World are on a ton of screens still. So the loss isn't going to impact them too much.

  6. I don't see JW losing that much. Terminator will definitely lose so much more since it's losing IMAX and is the less watched.

    Based off a dozen nearby theaters. It seems like Jurassic World has as much or less show times than Terminator Genisys. It looks like both got cut to around 2,500 screens.

  7. TG will do $20.5M in its second week. It needs to have 45.7% weekly drops from here on to reach 100M.

     

    So if it can manage to drop 45% this week, I think it will comfortably get past 100M.

     

    If it drops 50% this week, it will need 41.8% drops thereafter to reach 100M. In such a scenario, it should still reach there, but it will be a crawl and might require a bit of fudge.

     

    If it drops 55% this week, it will need 37.6% drops thereafter to reach 100M, making it unlikely, but not impossible.

     

    Any drop bigger than that, and bye bye 100M.

     

     

    I think that is the most likely scenario. Unless it really starts to struggle over the next 10-11 days.

  8. because of 2 week rule TG was able to hold on to screens last week. It did better than expected. We will know fur sure tomorrow. its 2 week is done. Even thursday show count will be lower. so I see 10%+ drop today.

    I expect Terminator Genisys to only do around 1.2  million on Thursday. But I think it will jump up to around 2.-2.2 million Friday, 2.8 million Saturday and 2 million Sunday. Like it or not, but Terminator Genisys isn't totally bombing out so there not going to pull that many screens so fast(800-1,200 I'm guessing). Yes it will lose a large number, but it's still going to be showing at most theaters every 2-3 hours at least. Going off my local theaters show-times this weekend, it seems like Jurassic World is taking a similar or slightly bigger hit in screen loses then Terminator Genisys this weekend. Overall I'm sure Genisys number will be higher(especially since it was already in 300 more screens then Jurassic World). But impact on both movies should be similar. Even though I think Ant-Man is more Jurassic World audience than the one that's been seeing Terminator. While the majority of the rest of Ant-Man screens will likely come from something like Max which was still playing on 2,000 screens this week.

  9. TG will drop at least 55%. Ant-man is direct competition for it. it will shed screens big time as 2 week run is done.

    Ehh weren't you the one saying 50 plus drop last weekend too? And couldn't increase from a 2.4 million Thursday to 4 million on Friday? Terminator Genisys will still likely be in over 2,500 screens that's plenty and is much more competition for Jurassic World than Terminator Genisys. If you haven't noticed already Terminator Genisys isn't getting much of a teen or early 20 something crowds, that will go see something like Ant-Man. I'm not so sure Ant-Man is going to sell very well with the 25 and up male crowd. I think Pixels might be more competition with that crowd do to all the 80s video game characters in it.
