The Dark Samurai

This is what happens when awful teen melodramas like TFIOS make cancer victims throw up once in a while,maybe faint once or twice but in general stay Hollywood pretty with none of the horrible side effects of actual cancer victims. They could have had the flu in the film and the symptoms wouldn't have been much different.

$457.6M And yes,that drop is pretty bad.

That's awful for DOFP

SM1 was huge OS,it sold more tickets in Europe than any comic book film ever,huge in Asia,Australia,South America as well. The first film sold 33,6 million tickets in Europe,TASM sold 16,5. The vastly inflated 3D grosses just mask the level of interest.

Not really.Marvel's films are huge successes and are nothing alike Nolan's Batman. Batman Begins came out in 2005 and Spider-Man 3 opened in 2007 with by far the biggest opening weekend until then.Sony(and Raimi to certain point) wounded the franchise with awful third film and this franchise has made Spider-Man completely irrelevant.

The biggest issue of this reboot is that they tried to have the cake and eat it too...and they didn't even had the flour. They wanted it to be close enough to the previous franchise so they don't alienate the huge build-in audience and they tried it to make it hip.Neither of those things worked.It's lacking in almost every department compared to the first two films and the films bring nothing new to the table in an age of Marvel's heroes and Nolan's Batman. Every reboot that has succeeded has been a big transformation from it's predecessors.Let's take the example you took,Batman,it has 7 major films and the distinction between Burton/Schumacher/Nolan is HUGE.A lot of people weren't fans of the previous Batman reincarnations but fell in love with Nolan's vision. This reboot offers nothing we haven't seen and better,10 years ago. You can also take the wonderful Casino Royale as an example,it erased from our memories anything Pierce Brosnan related,with one trailer.

That's a brilliant number! If everything goes well it's weekend gross is poised to beat The Avengers opening.....................................day. I can't imagine what the third part is going to do...will it do the unthinkable and beat the Hancock's gross of $227 mill?Stay tuned,this franchise has been on a roll:

No. The kid goes to heaven .No,i'm not kidding and yes,this is as Christian as God's Not Dead. Another product of the ''you can't prove it didn't happen so my argument is as valid as yours'' school of bankrupt philosophy.

With that number TGBH should be around $9mill for the weekend

Great hold for Lego!If that holds,it'll beat Brave this weekend.
