How to Train Your Dragon 2 OS (418 mil OS!!!)
James replied to Godzilla's topic in International Box Office
LOL. Are you serious. It's not just the fact that it made 4X it's budget, it's the fact that it's budget was HUGE and making 4x more is impressive. And average expectations? What did you expect? 1B. Even more LOL. People on this forum are the only ones to blame for their out of hand predictions. -
How to Train Your Dragon 2 OS (418 mil OS!!!)
James replied to Godzilla's topic in International Box Office
The movie made 615M on a 145M budget. That's a major hit. I don't get why people are upset. -
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
James replied to K1stpierre's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
I liked this one. One of my favourite disaster movies. Yeah, the romance angle was bad,but the acting was pretty good overall. A -
This is one of the best spy thrillers I've ever seen. Jolie is fantastic. I really don't get the hate for this film. Are people really hating it because it's a clever movie with a female in the lead?! Anyway... A+

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE Finally, a very good weekend and that thanks to monstruous business from 'Dracula Untold' and a nice job from the holdovers. - As I said in last week's post, Dracula Untold was bound to be big. It had the sure receipe for success here: a historical setting with massive action scenes. But the opening was beyond any expectations. 'Dracula' had the sixth highest OW of the year, with 57.184 admissions (and $ 311K). With that, it's guaranteed over 1M and (very possibly) a place in Top 10 for the year. - In second, The Equalizer held nicely in it's second frame, off just 37%. Over 18.000 tickets were sold for it, the number your typical Denzel movie opens with. 'A Walk Among The Tombstones' and 'The November Man' will hit it hard next week. Still,it should close well over 500K, and that's a win. - In third, Gone Girl opened with 16.826 adm. That's a bit better than 'Prisoners' last year, but that's not saying much. A disappointing start overall. - The Maze Runner fell 45% in it's third weekend. That's still way ahead of 'Divergent' and the first 'Hunger Games' through the same point and it's a decent hold considering the huge opening for 'Dracula'. 700K is still in play. - The House of Magic continues to amaze. It fell a measly 5%. When all is said and done, it should be over 550K, a very good result for an unknown property. - Let's Be Cops, Lucy and Guardians of the Galaxy all had good drops, in the 31-35% range. - America, venim! and If I Stay close the Top 10, fading off quickly. Here's the top: The overall 2014 box office is running 19.5 % ahead of 2013. Next week's openers: - A Walk Among The Tombstones - The November Man - What If - Q.E.D (local drama) Liam Neeson is well known here. 'Taken 2' was a hit and 'Non-Stop' also did good business, opening over 30.000 admissions. That's rising the bar too high, but an opening over 20.000 admissions shoud be a piece of cake. Opening the same weekend as 'A Walk Among The Tombstones' and only two weeks after 'The Equalizer' shoud limit 'The November Man''s audience. How much though, it remains to be seen. Teen romantic movies don't do well here. Just look at 'The Fault In Our Stars' or 'If I Stay'. It would be a miracle if 'What If' debuts above 10.000 admissions. The local movie will, as always, bomb.

The Maze Runner OS Strong Run! 208M Cume!
James replied to alisson23's topic in International Box Office
It could do close to 150M just from the curent markets alone. I'm starting to wonder if this will beat THG OS. It would need another 143M from the other markets and considering how many of the big ones are left I really think it has a good chance. -

Just holdovers. -
Good movie. Watched Legacy first, and then this one. Damon does a hell of a job. A-
