TANGLED

That's amazing for THIS MEANS WAR.

7TH UPDATE, SATURDAY PM: Universal’s $70M-budget holdover Dr Suess’ The Lorax is #1 and Disney’s 3D sci-fi epic John Carter finished a feeble #2 considering its whopping $250+M cost. Friday’s box office numbers for director Andrew Stanton’s actioner came in even weaker than predicted but rival studios tell me the pic experienced an unexpected +26% bounce on Saturday. (Disney’s Saturday estimate is lower…) Clearly word of mouth, like the ‘B+’ CinemaScore from audiences, is helping although reviews were decidedly mixed. Only Monday actuals will confirm whether Disney gets its “miracle” and John Carter‘s North American box office opening this weekend has a ’3′ in front of it. But that still means a massive $100+M writeoff for the parent company. How much this dismal opening will affect the new pic’s future fortunes remains to be seen. The studio’s Prince of Persia, for instance, opened similarly weak then made up its domestic deficit overseas. Disney planned a gigantic worldwide day-and-date push for John Carter and says Russia continues ”very strong”, taking in close to $12M as of Saturday AM. “We have some good starts in Europe, with some softer than we hoped. A few Asian territories are strong where this type of film plays well,” an exec tells me. After Friday, the international total was $27.8M with updated numbers coming in the morning when my autopsy report posts. Eddie Murphy has yet another bomb in Paramount’s A Thousand Words which received a ‘B-’ CinemaScore. But audiences gave Open Road’s horror genre film Silent House the dreaded ‘F’ CinemaScore. 1.

If that 26.5 M for JC sticks, boxofficebuzz is spot on in its prediction.

Though the books' popularity certainly helps, it's still about the movie.

I watched JC last night at SM North Edsa LIEMAX. 50% full.

I'm curious how this will do in Japan.

The THE BOURNE series is already an established brand. True, the lead character has been changed but Renner, being in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL and THE AVENGERS, will have become recognizable by the time the film is released.

90 M might even be a struggle.

On JOHN CARTER: Now let’s see if word of mouth can help this box office turkey which earned a ‘B+’ CinemaScore.

That title is just epic.

^ I see. I'm anticipating BRAVE.

The first one should be re-released to reach that 100 M milestone.

I hope Guru's number is the correct one for JC.

Should we start praying for him?

75 M | 300 M

I hope there's a standard number of questions or available points per week.

Walt Disney Pictures Plans Paladin Walt Disney Pictures is developing a film called Paladin from screenwriter Max Borenstein, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter. Little is known about the specifics of the plot, but it's said to be a sci-fi adventure project separate from the still-untitled one announced in January. That's the spirit Disney!

Well the sequel isn't happening. #sad
