Forget Ted, Mike is the one to watch. I could honestly see a $40-45m breakout OW for it. I think everyone's in for a huge surprise with that one. Tatum's on fire and the hype among women for it is palpable.
-
Holy crap, TA's Fri increase!!! Another 20% drop this weekend! Loving these late Avatar legs for it.

BSG Movie Trivia worth 20,000 points is up.
MovieMan89 replied to baumer's topic in Chasmmi's Infamous Box Office Game
Yeah sorry but no way I see Bourne making the top 11 with that new release date. $40m is the most I can see it opening with and unless it has killer WOM which would shock me, I can't see it making much more than $100m by Labor Day. Glad I held out on that one. Now however the battle gets really interesting for spots 10 and 11. I'm definitely putting my money down on Mike and The Watch right now. -
I love how Nikki uses "shortly" when almost anyone would put the correct term "later" instead.
-
Now that you mention it I never saw one single thing for it either. I just assumed that studios don't advertise movies that co-star the homeless though.
-
All I know is Brave better beat Lorax's OW now. I'll be pissed if it just misses that annoying mediocrity's mark.
-
Well considering I'll get 25k points for putting it first which is something only a few others did, actually I did do well on it!
-
So glad I stuck with 270 in the game for Brave. Looks like I may have finally hit one on the bullseye this summer.
-
Lol totally! Year of the archeress bitch!
-
$25m?! I was expecting a $23m OD tops! This could have their 2nd biggest OD after TS3! Amazing for Brave!
-
That's the way I feel about almost every single Allen film except MIP. Hall, Manhattan, are about the only other that aren't bland and forgettable.
-
VCB was more just about Cruz's performance. I wouldn't say the movie was anything special or had exceptional WOM. MIP really was his first notable film since Hannah and Her Sisters.
-
It's the Midnight in Paris effect. See what making a great film with awesome WOM can do for your career? Too bad Allen just flushed all that down the toilet by following it up with one of the worst of his career. Well, there goes all that wasted opportunity. You can bet "High Noon in London" won't be opening to no 85k PSA.
-
So happy I counted on that very thing happening for game purposes.
-
I can already see MU ending up in the mid 80's or so. It's like Pixar has to "build" themselves back up again or at least in the critics eyes at least. So then maybe after MU we'll be back to mid 90's for all their movies.
-
I do agree it would be higher if Cars 2 never happened. I don't know about 90's, but maybe like 85% or so.
-
Wall-E alienated some family audiences almost immediately with the all silent first half. Hence why it has one of the worst Pixar multis despite being so generally acclaimed. It's arguably still their most "adult" film and it definitely had an adult audience that it appealed to. Brave isn't like that. It's much more family friendly like Nemo, Up, or Incredibles.
-
Add to that that Brave isn't anywhere near as adult appealing as Wall-E or TS3, hence why those two acted more like adult films than animated ones on their opening Saturday's, nor is it a fan rushing sequel like Cars 2. I think it can increase tomorrow.
-
Why a sat decrease? Only Pixar non sequel that did that was Wall-E, and just barely by 4%.
-
Yeah if the whole movie would have been on par with the second half I would probably put it in the same rank as Monsters, Nemo, and Rat as well. Unfortunately though I can't ignore the fact that the first half was noticeably weak.
-
Really?! I honestly haven't bothered to read more than just the snippets of reviews but the second half is by far what really worked about the movie for me. I felt the first half was fairly generic and cliche, not to mention a bit boring. The second part on the other hand was charming and heartfelt, and it's when the characters became truly likable for me.
-
Went with my nieces too! Yay for little nieces! I half agree with you. The second half worked marvelously and was classic Pixar, but the first half had a lot of problems I thought. I can see why it's in the mid 70's on RT, though I think it should be in the low 80's or so. I'd put it below everything of Pixar's except the Cars movies and A Bug's Life. I did like it more than I expected though, especially the second half which if I was just rating that portion I'd give a solid A. B- for first half, B+ overall.
-
The thought of Knightly nominated for Actress makes me queasy. If she wins...
-
The great thing about the category being so weak this year is I think it makes it all the more likely Wallis will get nominated for Beasts of the Southern Wild, and I think that would be a pretty exciting thing to have happen.
-
My very early prediction:Les MiserablesThe HobbitThe MasterLincolnBeasts of the Southern WildDjango UnchainedFlightMoonrise KingdomZero Dark ThirtyLife of Pi could knock Flight, Moonrise, or Zero Dark out but Ang Lee is often hit or miss and it kind of seems like a "Tintin" type movie to me, with the book it's based on. Doesn't sound that Oscar baiting.
