Well, it's certainly going to perform a bit better over the weekend than the 12 million that mtc projected. but yeah, the 45+ club is pretty much dead and buried ... probably 30 million 5 day.

Amazingly funny film ... 90% is total classic stuff ... I felt it fell apart a little bit towards the end when the action picked up. The cum scene was probably the funniest scene I've ever experienced in a theater. Gut busting laughter for the entire time. Just when you think it's done, it keeps coming back for more. Really, too much crazy stuff to get into ... can't even process it all right now. 9/10

Top 10 ... well, my top 10 is posted in my profile page. 1) The Godfather 2) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (since filmed together, I just lump together ... if separate FOTR is best) 3) Goodfellas 4) Pulp Fiction 5) American Beauty 6) Schindler's List 7) Jaws 8) The Godfather Part 2 9) The Empire Strikes Back 10) Lost in Translation

Haven't seen as many films as I did 5 or 10 years ago ... but here goes. 1) The Perks of Being a Wallflower 2) Django Unchained 3) Silver Linings Playbook 4) Argo 5) The Dark Knight Rises 6) Skyfall 7) The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey 8) Zero Dark Thirty 9) The Avengers 10) Chronicle or 21 Jump Street

Well, with 14 there's no way it reaches 30.

Now which one was Insidious ... I don't remember that one or who starred in it. ... oh wait, was that another Ethan Hawke one with the weird thing where people see this demon or something. ... hmm, seems I was way off on that one after checking IMDB.

Yes you do Ed. ... also dat nice 21:1 ratio ... and Purge, lots of tweets, but 1:1 ... ugh, this is going to drop like crazy through the weekend and into next week.

Wow, 16 million + would be an amazing start for The Purge ... hell, I think I figured only high teens total for the weekend a few weeks back. 16 would guarantee 30 ... but not sure how much more due to that 3.4 midnight ... I suppose could go as high as 35, but probably not. More likely 32 or 33, especially if it sucks. ... nice box office lift on a weekend that looks like a lost cause after AE left.

I started following box office in general WAY back in the 90's ... would always follow the weekend box office #s on Showbiz Today each week on Monday afternoons, back when films like Independence Day, Twister, etc. came out ... so what, 1996-1997. The discussion on those shows back then seems archaic when thinking in today's world. Once had more internet access in the late 90's, early 2000's mostly followed reports from Gitesh and just stories on yahoo each week. In 2005 or so, before Sith, I found Boxofficemojo.com ... followed stuff on that site ... then in 2006, found WorldofKj where I began being intrigued by the 'yahoo review' box office phenomenon ... one of my earliest recollections on that aspect was in 2006 when Poseidon was an utter bomb ... and then MI3 was really disappointing a few weeks later. I was addicted to following each week ... and hell, every day or so since. Of course, still haven't posted on KJ ... and just recently started posting here, despite being a member here since pretty much when it was created.

Yeah, between MOS taking the comic book fans, and MU taking the families, it could be tough ... will be close to Spider-Man though. So if it does 405 ... that's like what 360-365 w/o 3D, or am I way off on that. I'm terrible with 3D converting.

Even knowing the story, it was shocking to see happen ... especially the death of Talisa. Only negative was Catelyn killing the Frey wife ... it looked so fake ... the girl had nearly no face when she died. Walder Frey with a good looking daughter ... didn't they tease in season 1 that one was decent. Walder Frey in general was just a beast this episode ... laughing my ass off for the first part ... and disgusted throughout.

It wouldn't have been made ... ... well, I take that back, studios are dumb as fuck sometimes.

Too bad ... late night business should help good films ... not crap. BTW, speaking of crap ... Wild Wild West with Big Willie is on TNT ... never seen it in full, never want to, never will.

Nope ... I was 20 years old. Like I've said, I've been following box office online for 8+ years. I'm not a youngster anymore.

Yeah ... I was a going into my junior year in college the year Signs came out ... That I've seen Unbreakable A- Signs B+ Sixth Sense B Village C+ Happening C- Lady in the Water - Not Seen Airbender - Not Seen Damn ... not shocked by After Earth ... it had bomb written all over it.

Boy, that Fast 6 # seems kind of low ... while Hangover is not totally tanking like I thought it would after the initial #s. Well, it's still tanking, but not free falling each day.

Oh ... well, yeah I think FF6 will still be looking @ 60% drop ... F5 dropped 62. Still would be 35+ second weekend ... and I have doubts AE can beat that. It might be close.

You mean 4 day over AE total ... if so, I could see it happening very easily if AE debuts under 40 million. Well, IMO, no way that film makes more than 120 million without 50+ weekend given MOS 2 weeks later. 117 is great for F&F6 ... 47 for STID is also great. THO3 is just terrible.

Yeah, see post above ... made the Memorial Day mistake ... history shows that should be closer to 10% than 20% ...so I figure 107 4 day. Of course, this is all assuming near the higher end of Rth ... not 33, if that then it's probably 85 & 101

Well, that's a 20% drop ... and yeah, it's too high ... revise 35/29/25/18 ... so 107 4 day I guess, 89 3 day. ... several top Memorial Day performers have dropped in that 10% range on Sunday ... I'll go 13% for F6. For Saturday, I do think some of the demand will be more up front due to sequel, so still see even with Friday minus midnights.

With a 35 million Friday, I doubt it gets to mid 90's over 3 day ... 35/29/23/16 103 4 Day

BTW, I never really was a big fan of Tyrese in the other films ...but I tell you what. I really thought his character's egotism was on point in this film. 33-36 ... man, I figured we'd be going higher as the night went on, not looking possibly lower. Star Trek with 10-11.5 ... so should be around 45 for the 4 day. Thanks Rth.

Saw Fast 6 ... insane, ridiculous, defying all logic ... but very fun. End credits scene caused people to go nuts. (Although to be fair, the auditorium was filled with what looked like some sort of junior high school class trip ... so they were all stupid. Sold out ... and the stupid theater only had it in one auditorium. Sure those two showing of Hangover were packed ... yeah, probably not. A- I expected 40 million after that midnight #, 35 would feel a little disappointing for me, but still ... it's doing 100 million over 4 days, so whatever. EPIC is surprising ... didn't see it going that high. Didn't think much of any buzz for it.

I'd be surprised by that hold, even with the monday holiday in Canada ... I get the feeling that 84 million will become 83 million at best tomorrow. I saw STID, it was good IMO, not quite as good as ST09, but fine.
