Still had a respectable though not great OW is his point. Although who really cares with its overall performance? It was a bomb overall and that's what counts.
I don't have a grudge against Mr. Parker himself no (is he a real person now, lol) but it's why the movie disappointing would be somewhat rewarding to see, and also why I know it will disappoint. Maybe teach the studios a lesson not to pointlessly and shamelessly remake something that was done perfectly well not that long ago for a quick buck.
Doesn't matter. TDKR will destroy TASM's legs, even if TASM had TA WOM (which of course it won't). Anyone who doesn't think so obviously is living under a rock and forgot that TDKR is one of the most anticipated movies of all time.
Getting this back on topic (kinda) how do you guys think this weekend woulda played out if Joe hadn't moved? Would it have stolen all of Mike and Ted's thunder? Would Ted and Mike have done just as well and Joe bombed? Would they have all been spread out more evenly? Or would Joe have opened big on top of the big OWs for Mike and Ted and we perhaps had a weekend that rivaled the all time big ones? Definitely interesting to think about.
Bad? No. Middle of the road and unnecessary? Very likely. And that most definitely won't cut it with TASM especially once TDKR hits. I mean you do realize even SM3 got 63% 6.2 average rating on RT right? So finishing around 70% 6.5 average rating is really not much more impressive no?
I wouldn't call a 6.9 average rating exactly good for this kind of movie. And you know that's only gonna go down. We're not even close to 100 reviews yet.
Great year, probably best BP noms overall of the 2000s1. Toy Story 3 - A+2. Inception - A+3. Black Swan - A4. True Grit - A5. The King's Speech - A-6. 127 Hours - A-7. The Fighter - B+8. The Social Network - B9. Winter's Bone -B-10. The Kids Are All Right - C+
Not hating, just being realistic. You'll see soon enough. $115m 6 day or so, and then amputated legs when TDKR causes it to fall off the face of the earth two weeks later. Honestly it's really easy to figure out the outcome for this one.
TASM will be fine once OS grosses are added in, but c'mon its always been painfully obvious the movie would only do around 200m DOM or so. It just so happens most people are finally starting to see the light.
Looks like $35-37m for the weekend. Should get a good Sat bump, especially if the openers are hurting it since they will all be decreasing tomorrow. 45% drop isn't bad, about on par with M3's 2nd weekend drop.
