    Box Office Mojo has seen a pathetic decline in quality and insight.

    I used to love Ray's articles and now Keith's stuff is just utter crap.

     

    Yeah...it will only need around 120-125% Friday jump for that :lol:

    who cares about Scientology? who watches movies base on religion? Cruise himself has not talked publically about scientology in years...stop blaming religion and except an aging star fades naturally, he is still a draw, but not as potent

     

    Its not just about the draw...he have still somewhat draw which stops movies from being flop...but when your movies keeps on failing to breakout even after good wom/reviews then there have to be something wrong..good wom definitely helps most of the movies...may be EOT was exception...but again MI5

    Yea am really surprised at MI5's performance this week. I expected WOM to have a big impact.

    Interesting to think maybe the stellar WOM's impact maybe less than anticipated? I find it a weird case esp that Antman's WOM wasn't better in any way than MI5

    Maybe sometimes we over estimate how WOM can affect films whereas there are other factors that could come into play.

     

    Or may be its just Scientology and Cruise...many people may not be that much eager to watch his movies no matter how good the reviews or wom are. EOT also with strong wom and reviews barely cracked 100m. And MI5 had everything going in its favor...a well received GP, good trailer, strong reviews, weak market but couldn't break out. After OW we expected good legs but surprisingly its been very mediocre so far. Cruise movies may not flop as he is making good movies, is a good actor and put lot of efforts but things have started to turn out such that if they are not going to flop they are not going to do big/huge numbers as well.

    Official Weekend Estimates |MI5 - 56M; Vacation - 14.9M; Ant-Man - 12.6M; Minions - 12.2M; Pixels - 10.4M; Trainwreck - 9.7M| Pg58

    Yeah crumbling...on the OW so many claims that JW legs won't be anywhere near Avengers after such a record breaking opening...the Avengers was loved by people and JW won't be able to get the same love from audience and the repeat business like Avengers...but now we are here discussing about Titanic...crumbling baby crumbling 

    Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)

    JW is VERY much liked movie..its not a great movie or masterpiece by any stretch like JP...yes it could have been better but some people here trying to be wannabe over smart labeling it as one of the worst are joke. It might be handful of them who hated/disliked but majority of audience seems to liked it if not loved it. Else it would have crumbled like SM3 after its gigantic opening. I don't see majority of people saying wow that was the best movie of the year...but I do see people telling...well that 2hrs was fun. And thats what I think bodes well for JW.
