Oh ok, if it's $23m that's fine, I read $17m a few pages ago but hopefully that's wrong.? How is it down to 17m? It's 23m isn't it?
-
Wait so we started at $25m od and are now down to $17-18m??? This is why early estimates (guesses?) are annoying and terrible.
-
That is well said, I feel the same way. Can't wait to see this.Why I really like about the trailer (or clips) is that I'm freakin scared of height while at the same time cannot stop marvelling at Earth's beauty. Its a funny feeling.
-
Fuck me, that new detached clip/trailer is awesome. Can't wait to see this in IMAX.

Holy shit at how terrible RIPD did. I mean we all knew it was going to bomb, but $12.7m ow is just so, so bad...and less than $20m ow ww is unbelievable. And with Turbo's crap opening too, RR is the new box office bomb king.

I also compare it to Avatar...amazing 3D theater experience with no real big actors is leading roles, but a visually amazing ride etc. Unfortunately it's night and day at the bo thoughNot sure what film you saw. I thought it was stunning. I felt like I did when I saw Jurassic Park/Avatar for the first time. The movie was everything anyone could possibly want from a monsters vs robots picture.

He's unfortunately turned into the KFC (or any other cheap, fast food chain) of movies...cheap, crap quality, no substance, etc. but it's consumed by millions as it's easy and a guilty familiar pleasure, etc.Sandler's movies are just easy to watch.

Trailer is amazing in 3D on the big screen...saw it before PR and I can't wait to see this movie when it comes out...in 3D IMAX will be glorious.

Hey nice, a $1m improvement for PR.GU2 15.5-16, SR 13.5-14,DM2 13.1, TH 4.2,TFR 3.3,MU 3.1,WWZ 2.6,WHD 1.7,LME 1.6,MOS 1.35

I'd compare it to Hugo...I thought that was really good and it was great in 3D at the theater, but put countless other directors names in the credits and you're not questioning that it wasn't Scorsese. Not to say they world have made the same film and Scorsese made a really good movie and gets the credit, ala Del Toro for PR, but it doesn't have their same feel, etc.I don't know, Del Toro has a unique style of humor, and visuals for that matter.

That's not what meant though...I mean when the credits roll you could have slapped tons of other directors names there and not know the difference or question it, etc. Not that they would have made the same movie as Del Toro.Completely disagree, He created the world and tone. The movie knew what it was and that's the number 1 thing a film like this needs to do.
-
Probably doesn't help you looking more forward to seeing it, but while I really liked PR and thought it was an awesome theater experience (even on only a liemax as opposed to real imax) and the sfx and sense of scope are amazing, there's really not much that makes it feel like a Del Toro movie the way Hellboy1/2 or Pans do, etc. You could slap tons of other directors name on this movie and not know the difference.Not quite sure how to interpret that. All of his previous films have been fun, in addition to having other great qualities to them.I have my own opinions and hearsay on why Del Toro made this, and my main issue is just that I don't like the fact he made this film to begin with.
-
Not really, alot here had an ow prediction of around $35-40m and almost everyone agrees the marketing sucked, we were just hoping it'd do better...which based on Rth #s it definitely did not :(And that DM2 # kind of sucks too, can't believe shitty GU2 is going to win the weekend, sigh...Number of us have been arguing that for months. It fell on deaf ears.
-
I pray to the movie gods that Elysium and Gravity are great movies and then rewarded at the box office.Man, original sci-fi is dying a slow death this year (Oblivion, After Earth, Pacific Rim).Elysium is the last hope.
-
Probably $14.5m + $3.6m mid/pre if she's predicting $40m + ow...or she's just being retarded as usual, either scenario is likely.How could she get 40M+ for PR with that Friday figure then?
Even PR fudging cannot boost PR's gross by that much

Ok hopefully you're right and it only means Mon-Thurs.FWIW, we've been told nothing about this by the studios. This leads me to believe it only applies to weekdays and not the weekends, since we only report unconfirmed estimates on Friday (and sometimes Saturday).Since Rth works for Rentrak-like source, it's possible they also haven't been told anything either.

On my phone and haven't read through this whole thread but does that mean weekend/Fri-Sun estimates may not happen either now?? It would really suck if we get nothing about weekend numbers until Mondays.

Just realized there's no Monday Est/#s/thread yet...what gives? It's 12:30pm eastern...?

Random Fact about Spider-Man. WTF is up with that theater count? It kept the playing in the same amount of theaters for 6 weeks. It even increased on Week 4.

There wasn't a big/blockbuster movie almost every/every other week of the summer like there is now, so huge blockbusters like this were kept around longer. TPM was the same thing in '99, 6 weeks of the same or more theater count (week 6 it was actually in more theaters than week 1!). Closest since has been TDK, which had 4 weeks over 4,000 theater count, and Avatar, which increased its theater count in weeks 2 and 3 and hardly lost significant theaters in its first 2 months of release (but obviously its hard to compare Avatar to anything).
Wait, just checked and Titanic is stupid crazy...it increased its theater count every week for like 4 months! lol
