  1. It's doing incredible numbers OS. 3D is a factor but it's still very strange that this sequel is having such a great run.
  2. Total OS gross is $119.7 million now. Should finish at about 130m. Solid numbers but a sequel is still questionable. Maybe they should quit while they are winning.
  3. On Ghost Rider's defence i remember some articles or quotes from the directors back when they were still filming saying that the budget was about 50m. So that 57m doesn't look fake.But it's fishy when it's suddenly switched after the estimates.It's still a big disappointment.Great numbers for Safe House and The Vow. Never saw them coming. I was thinking about 75-80m total for both but they are doing great bussiness. Increadible performance from Journey 2 also. Combined with the huge OS numbers, we will see a third one soon.

  5. I agree.Dragon Tattoo is a success. Nothing extraordinary or huge but a solid hit. It can be bigger if it has any Oscar noms.But the rest of the books aren't that liked as the first and Fincher won't be back. Those are some big reasons to be concerned.On the other hand Dragon Tattoo has some good WOM and it was well liked, if the sequel is decent enough it can replicate its numbers or even increase from the good will. We 've seen that happen before.But without Fincher it's definately a risk.

  8. With those markets left and how it's doing so far, it looks to finish with about 150m.Solid number but i thought it would do a bit better. Oscar nominations could help it though.

  13. I don't think those were the expectations from people in this forum. In the U/O 100m thread most were Over but they weren't predicting huge numbers. If it makes 105-110 then it' s pretty close to that 125m number that most were predicting (including myself).I think that people are confused because Dragon Tattoo ended being a leggy film and even though it was based on a popular book it didn't have a rush factor. But the end result probably won't be that far from the average prediction.Those legs could be found in the OS markets. It's doing decent numbers so far but not in line with the 200m they claimed. But maybe it will stick around for a while and some Oscar nominations will certainly help.
  14. A great weekend and a good start for 2012.The Devil Inside is a huge hit no matter what happens from here on. Its unheard bad WOM will make its next weekend and total gross really interesting.M:I 4 is continuing to impress. It will probably reach 210-215m in the end.Very good for Sherlock Holmes 2. I believe it will make it to 190m.Another great hold for Dragon Tattoo that shows some good legs. 100m is almost certain so 105-110m is looking like the most possible finish now.Alvin could probably do about 140m and War Horse along with We Bought a Zoo will make it to 75-85m. Good for both of them.Tintin will end with about 75m also but it's not good at all for it.And a solid expantion for Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy.
  15. Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It was definately good and it was more about the characters and the social commentary but i never thought that i was watching something special. Especially when Ceasar wasn't on screen. Plus there were a bunch of plot holes.The last 20 minutes completely kills Source Code for me.Thor is not bad but i thought it had a bunch of problems. Fast Five is by far the best in the series but i think it's overrated when it's being considered as one of the best action films of the decade. I mean come on.M:I 4 was a big surprise. Much better than i hoped but the plot is as cliche as it goes and full of holes. If they could manage to cover them a bit better it would easily be my favourite in the series. It's still a great action film though.
  16. I 'm in the minority but i really enjoyed The Green Hornet. Found it hilarious.Also The Hangover part II was much better than most critics say. Not as good or original as the first one but really dark and mean and funny if you ask me.
  17. That's a great trailer. It looks so good and bleak and serious that when a guy with a bat suit appears almost at the end of the trailer, i was reminded that this is a comicbook film. And i mean it as a compliment.
  18. Very atmosheric and effective teaser.
  19. I don't have any hope about this movie being any good. But it has a good trailer.
  20. Looks better than i thought it would.Still i don't think it will be any good.
  21. Mission:Impossible has a solid chance to reach 200m. Never thought it would be that big and that's a pleasant surprise.I see Sherlock Holmes 2 finishing at about 170-175m. In a better marketplace it would have made much more.Alvin 3 is having some good legs but it 's still far from the previous two instalments.I think that Dragon Tattoo has a decent chance for 100m.I 'm not sure about Tintin yet. I think that it will probably collapse after the holidays. But 80-90m is really possible.
  22. No i mean OS. It 's way too early to know where it will land worldwide. I think it's going to be big in Europe.
