  1. If we exclude DM2's 4.7m previews that means it did about 29.6m on Weds, and 23.5/29.7 means a 20.9% drop, not that bad actually.
  2. Anyone wanna bet on Lone Ranger over/under 100m DOM total? 50 points here saying that it will
  3. Although I'm not cheering for TLR to flop, I do think that if a SEQUEL fails to deliver the quality of its predecessors badly, is terribly rushed, or is an outright moneygrab, then there's nothing wrong whatsoever for fans of the franchise to blast such lameness. This happens a lot in the gaming industry, take this year's SimCity for example, because the product is such a unfailthful crap, huge numbers of fans of the series rooted for it to fail and in the end it sort of did.
  4. Nikki on TLR: 15mRth aka God: 8.7-10mSo Nikki's like, 'only' 50-80% off lol.
  5. If Kevin Heart was released in like 2000 cinemas it would be beating TLR... Totally ridiculous.
  6. This is what happens when you have two movies opening in 3900+ cinemas at the same time.
  7. Let's calm down on the crazy DM2 projections until we at least the WEDNESDAY ACTUALS shall we?
  8. 8.5/10 or B+/A-. Superb entertainment value. Numerous jokes and gags for all age groups. Pacing is fairly consistent (meaning, fast) and it's just so much fun. This is a film that tries to maximize the fun factor even though it might compromise whatever heart or seriousness some of the critics are on about because they know at the end of the day its the fun that sells tickets for a fim like DM2. The kids I encountered in the cinemas absolutely go crazy every time a minion sequence takes place. Plenty of teenagers and young adults there too, many of them also laugh hysterically on several occasions (not as hysterical as when I saw in This is the End obviously but still very impressive). Not sure how the majority of parents and older audience react to this since they tend to not laugh out loud like the younger viewers but judging from the faces I see when they leave the show, most of them must be pretty satisfied too.
  9. Seriously, I've been living in UK for the most part of last five years, except every summer when I return to China so I know how you guys perceive your weather and how you media particularly the Daily Mail reports it, but this is just pure gold. 33C is a 'heatwave'???????? Every inch of land in Central, Eastern, Northeastern and Southern China is quite a bit hotter than that between May and early September and it doesn't stop people from going to cinemas on a colossal scale. I know the weather in England this year so far has been horrible and colder than usual but this is still normal temperature for this time of year, seriously the way the UK media tells weather stories is just hilarious, if not a bit pathetic. Rant over, don't get angry with me just expressing a 'cultural shock' that's all . Will THAT many people be spending time on beaches and doing outdoor stuff instead of watching movies just because of this? It's not like people have been staying indoors this past month due to terrible cold or something.
  10. Fairly small Thurs drop, followed by a sizable increase on Fri and possibly minor decrease on Sat (aka 2002) and another -20% or so on Sun. Using the 32 number and MIB2's 2002 opening, if DM2 follows a fairly mediocre run thoughout the week then the 5 day breakdown could be around 32/26/31/29/24 = 142m, totally doable and still massive enough to push for 400m.
  11. Sigh yeah I remember those rumors. I just wish (hello Ted you here me?lol) there could be some place where we can re-visit old threads of epic win/fails and see people's reactions to breakouts/bombs instead of trying hard to put fragments of memory to one incomplete piece.
