Some people need to learn the hard way...spoiled brat Ladouche will soon be another example...never bite the hand that feeds you baby shia.

Also, shouldn't this be in the real world thread? It sadly doesn't get any more real than this
-
Holy shit WTF?!?! Really curious what the suicide note said...was there any history of depression or mental illness, etc??

3...but going to catch it again on (real) IMAX next weekend.
-
I guess that's true...but just last weekend The Campaign dropped 27.5% on its first Sunday with a very similar ow.It's an R rated film in it's first weekend. They drop that much on Summer Sunday's. The first dropped 19%, and that's where they are coming up with the number.
-
That's a way too optimistic hold today for EX2...definitely think it'll drop more than 20%.
-
atm, I don't think anything next summer hits $400m either.

Rth, where are thee?

Ah, man you are so full of shit. You just said your prediction was $450-470m...you'd only lower it by $10m? Get the hell out of here. You're just not being honest anymore dude.I would've cut my prediction from about 475m to around 440m if you had told me what was gonna happen would happen. And guess what? 440-450M is exactly where it's headed.

Ah, good...now I'll use my post from page 7 you never responded to:You don't know what you're talking about. And I don't know what your predicitons for TDKR were, but I'll assume they were around its current ow and mid 400s finish? Now you made those predictions well before its ow and the shootings...but if someone had asked you a week or so before its release, to give a prediction if say a columbine type shooting occurred during a midnight showing, leaving double digit people dead and being on the news everywhere in the US for weeks, there's no freakin way you would have predicted the same thing- your #s would have been lower. So how the hell can you say a $25m more ow and $50-70m more dom finish definitely wouldn't have happened if the shootings didn't happen!We're not using the shootings as an excuse for the higher predictions, you're ignoring the shootings to justify the lower ones.My opinion of TDKR's box office was never low, it was perfectly reasonable. The fact that you think my $450-470m TDKR predictions were low clearly show that you're the one with the unreasonable opinion of its box office run.

I'll really be completely shocked if tomorrow it goes even lower than Rth's $10-11m figure.It's after midnight east coast and Nikke is more concerned Jay Leno laying off staffers then box office. I would not be surprised to see an even worse number tomorrow.
-
Yeah totally! I had to do a double take just now on that name/post.Xia! You should post over here more often.
-
You ignore every logical and thoughtful post people have made...you just are purposely creating noise and posting nonsense so why bother with you anymore.I see you're still using name calling to hide the fact that you have no leg to stand on in your argument. Nice.
-
If by rational and logical you mean made no sense the whole time and just rambled about nonsense then totally.Yep, I'm using rational and logical arguments. Clearly I'm in non-stop meltdown mode over here.

wow...you are just making yourself look dumber and dumber the more you post about this....Hey while we're at it lets blame 9/11 for any box office slumps! I'm sure there can be some connection found there.
-
He'll ignore this and be like uh herp derp it's just how it goes sometimes and some movies just underperform and don't meet expectations and it's not like something else major happened that may have helped cause this uh derrrr.It could just be down to the films having no appeal, but something has to be said for August just barely crossing 100m admissions (how it's looking right now). It'll be the worst August in over 15 years.
-
As low as $10m for EX2?!? wow, that's terrible. And yeah, anything on TDKR?Quick note see how it looks later but Exp2 10-11m, BL 4.5-4.8,Para 4-4.5, Spar 4.2-4.6
-
Quickly returned to normal after that weekend?!? What the hell are you talking about?? Actually, that comment makes me done with you, like arguing with BKB, you know you're wrong and are purposely making no sense.I've responded to the issue plenty of times. OW was affected, minimal at best after that. Or did you not see how quickly the box office returned to normal after that weekend? So I'm not gonna keep feeding some of these ridiculous posts. Some of you will never admit to being wrong when there's a tragedy up for grabs.

Holy shit you're stupidly stubborn and obtuse. And I see you haven't responded to my post, should I view that as you knowing you're wrong? Seems that way.A very respectable and impressive milestone. Why some people ever thought it could do $500m+ or pass TDK is beyond me.

Woody Allen comes mind...and not much else (I don't count small roles like Scorsese has in some of his movies, etc)

I'm not the one using a tragedy to hide behind my predictions that didn't come true. Fucking pathetic.
-
Yeah, most people get pissed off when they're wrong and can't admit it...and most people are not claiming "ridiculously high expectations" like $600m would have happened...but to say $500m still wouldn't have is a joke and totally wrong.Oh god not the OS argument again. WHAT PART OF HUGE OS EXPANSION IN THE LAST 4 YEARS DO SOME OF YOU NOT GET! Seriously STOP USING A FUCKING TRAGEDY TO HIDE BEHIND RIDICULOUS EXPECTATIONS THAT WERE NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!! Goddammit this is starting to piss me off.
Favorite Trilogy (or group of three films)

1) SW: OT2) Indiana Jones/Nolan's Batman/LOTR5) The Godfather (first 2 are so amazing, makes up for 3)6) Die Hard 1-37) Toy Story8) Alien 1-39) Bourne10) Ocean'sAll other potential ones have glaring flaws...the third Spider-Man, X-Men, BTTF, POTC and Matrix stink, Rocky has too many movies and 5 sucks, TF or SW:PT...naaa I only really like the first and third respectfully...Austin Powers, they're all pretty good, but I don't love any of them/the series.Edit: I just remembered Alien 1-3, Terminator 1-3 and Mission impossible (too bad 4 can't replace 2 then it'd be a great trilogy). Alien 3 and Terminator 3 are again the weak links, but first two are great, especially Alien 1 and 2.
