Must be the eyebrows

PR is at $110M already. Can this reach IM3 height?

Yea, I don't get the popularity of SPIDER-MAN movies but not other superheroes. My guess is that Peter Parker is a socially awkward, nice guy who can beat up his bullies and Japanese loves their cute, pretty boy scouts (just like HARRY POTTER, DH2 made tons of money there).

I think "Movies with Higher OS Gross than Domestic" is descriptive enough..

$600M WW is not happening but $550M is do-able...

That lousy TASM can hit $40M in Japan why not MoS?

Where do you get this info from..?

Scott is prepping EXODUS for release in 2014. I don't know he could finish PROMETHEUS 2 in time for Summer 2015. Winter 2015 maybe...

Fox tracking till the end

Doable

Expected. Sony still makes money here. Good thing they keep the budget around $100M

Very disappointing from Dreamworks...

I was saying if this could do $100M this weekend, why not $120M and beyond...Keep it for 3 more weekends.

Warner no longer tracking International number?

Jeez, I thought this would be lucky to hit $400M WW..now this

How is ELYSIUM doing in Russia?

China should keep this for longer periods I think. How can they pass up more earnings from this? 28% drop!

I wonder what is going on in Warner's board room....

I saw it and I thought it was pretty entertaining. But a couple of things: It is unnecessarily violent (body parts exploding). I don't know if PG13 would propel it to blockbuster status but at least it would help. It is also relentlessly dystopian.

I am just looking at the whole thing from mainstream pov. TRANSFORMERS movies have interesting characters? Don't think it makes a diff because audience is eating that frenzied editing of visual candy. So many expensive blockbuster nowadays have bland, cardboard-cutout characters. OS audience don't care so much.... Although Charlie Hunnam is miles better than this guy :

BATTLESHIP has the promise of a great blockbuster. But I think for action scifi blockbuster to work you need, uh, faster-moving ships. The ship battle in the movie is pretty realistic enough and I am big fan of "sea battle" movies (RED OCTOBER, MASTER/COMMANDER etc) but the craft needs to blast though the speed of sound to give you a sense of frantic action coupled with fast-cutting frenzied editing i.e.. TRANSFORMERS movies & Bay-ism. The reason for PR lack of box office response in US: slow robots. It takes forever to deliver that big punch..

HOBBIT2 features a dragon. In less than 6 months, GA would experience Giant Lizard rampaging the cities in GODZILLA, a safe Giant Lizard in GOOD DINO, and a Cool Flying Lizard in DRAGON2. That's 4 Giant Lizards movies in about 6 months. No fatigue?

Most predicted $60-$75M. I predicted $65, no more. So this results is just insane in my book So far, China alone accounts for about 27% of PACRIM's WW taking.

MU got robbed by the Minions, dude...
