Very good opening for The Maze Runner. Doesn't seem frontloaded at all so I hope it has good legs. Ok-ish OW for TIWILY. Good it has a low budget. Acceptable drop for Dolphin Tale also. Waiting for TMNT numbers

Awesome I don't know when it'll get released here though And I want that puppy.

Another very good episode. I'm surprised. I'm starting to like Capaldi. Still nowhere near Tennant but still good. Also, love Clara. Next episode looks interesting

Pretty bad for Maze Runner but awesome for Wild Tales Amazing run. How much do you see it finishing with?

It would have to completely collapse after the OW to miss 75M.

Tears of the Sun (2003)

Why would that happen? STiD had a good reception. The 3.3x multiplier proves it.

That's what it's about? LOL. I found the trailer funny with the dirty jokes. I doubt the movie being about a certain subject will limit it's audience as long as the trailers are funny.

Well, neither of them is a huge name even though I love Bateman.

I'm surprised that This Is Where I Leave You has a budget of only 19.8M. With OS grosses it'll actually end up bringing money.

NIIIIIICEEE! I'm happy with that! Also got a very good Cinemascore, even though they are so unreliable most of the time.

Ah, my third most anticipated 2016 movie. Can't wait!

1. War of the Worlds 2. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 3. Oblivion 4. Minority Report 5. Edge of Tomorrow 6. M:I 3 7. Jack Reacher 8. M:I 2 9. M:I 1

That probably means we can derail weekend threads again...

Yeah, I misused the word. Gotta check my english better next time. I can accept that. The idea was that of heartless blockbuster with one-dimensional characters (not all, but most) and a severe lack of depth. And what fallacies? LOL. That HP is and was more influential and culturally important than Avengers ever will? That the quality of the movies and themes approached is superior? That is much more well known by the general population than Avengers is or will be? These are just facts.

It'll get a sequel even with just OS markets. 150M+ is a given. That's more than 4x it's 34M reported budget. Even adding 50-60M for marketing (that is resonable considering this is not a tentpole) it would still make profit.

I'm takin after Deadline's numbers. And a less than 40% drop, even this time of the year is not a huge feat.

Awesome! If it stays over 30M that's a real success.

Considering all people commenting here know how BO weekends work, I'm surprised by the amount of overreacting. When was the last time we had a weekend with an anticipated opener without a 'rollercoaster'?

We don't even have an idea of Friday numbers and we have weekend projections...

I picture the day when I'll buy my first Blu-ray. It'll probably be for Fantastic Beasts. EPIC DAY.

I was hoping for a bit more but that's fine too. If it manages to open over 30M, it might have a shot at 100M total, considering the only direct competition would come from Dracula Untold, that openes in 3 weeks. After that it would have another 3 weeks of almost no direct competition and I think it could keep IMAX to itself till Interstellar.

Why? The are among the best studios when it comes to making movies: 2012, Da Vinci, Angels & Demons, Spidey, Bond. Much better than others. Looking at their 2015 line-up though... Skyfall will be no. 1 WW. Inferno will be no. 2 and Hotel Transylvania will be on 3. Aside from that, their year looks almost as bad as Warner's.

How is that OD for Maze Runner?

You do realise you talk about 4 movie series that formed this Avengers franchise against the enormous cultural event that HP was and at how the books are selling still is (and for the record, I like SH movies in general liked CA2 this year). Don't even bring in quality because that leads to a total opinion value bust. And yeah, generic: TA is a fad that at some point, when people get tired of 10 SH movies / a year will go away; I'll give you the fact that TA was the first franchise to reunite more SH in one movie - the reason for it's success; ut if you ask someone, of any age, what he/she knows better (Avengers or HP) he/she will answer the second. Especially the older generations. You don't seem to grasp what an impact these books/movies had (you should read Baumer's thread about it for an idea). But I'll leave you to your fanboyism.
