LMAO @ Nikki's "Frankie Robinson" biopic. I can see summer is bringing out the crazy in her like normal. We can only hope the queen gives us another "Not a record" level statement next weekend to have fun with all summer .
The only thing that might save P&G from dropping hard next weekend is it is an R, so therefore appealing to a pretty different audience than a big blockbuster like IM3.
I'm glad Dory is Holiday. Star Wars, TA2, Pirates, AND Dory all in the summer would have just been insane and a stupid move by Disney. As it is Pirates is probably gonna get cannibalized.

Lol, the teaser looks exactly like the games look. Always loved the games, especially their humor, they're quite funny. The PS3 games have reminded me of Pixar movies too with their graphics. Will be hopefully optimistic for this.
Yeah I'm thinking of lowering my 150m prediction a good 20m or so. Shymalan's track record the last decade is just too shaky, even with Will Smith starring (who isn't the mega draw he used to be either).
Gah, I feel like chickening out on my DM2 #1/400m thing now. But that's my only big risk this year and I like to have at least one. Plus I do think it will be really big.
The most walkouts I've ever seen for a movie was the 2nd time I saw Moonrise Kingdom last year. About a dozen people left, including a large family of 6 or so and 3 other couples. What was amusing is the audience I saw it with the first time adored it and couldn't stop clapping at the end. So that taught me to not take walk outs as very indicative of WOM. It all depends on the audience you get.
Yeah it tells you that today's pre-teens have gone from great taste in my gen, to loving Twilight today. The people like me who were 13 when LOTR was around and into Nickelodeon awards are early to mid 20's now.
Excuse moi! I'm 5'11'' and weigh 168lbs and live in an upstairs apartment so I take offense to that stereotype. Of course I also gave the movie an A- not an A+, but the point is young people did like the movie (including everyone around my age I know) so A+ CS from under 18 crowd isn't unfathomable.
But I' really know better than to get into a Hobbit argument on the only board online PJ/LOTR has a hate coalition.
Yeah I'd rather RIPD had taken JP's slot, Oblivion take RIPD's, and JP could have gone to September. Oblivion totally feels like a summer movie to me. RIPD definitely does not.
Exactly. Or even go against movies like After Earth and Man of Steel no? As it is it's got to compete against the heaviest hitters of summer after next weekend.
