The Movie Man Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 wth are you even talking about? Win back?? TGG didn't even win Friday and it's going to lose the weekend by $15-20m. I assume this is all a joke like usual though. as close as they are, aren't they estimates, so who knows who won Friday??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The fact that Gatsby is even in this is proof that WOM may be mixed for IM3. That huge OW, it should be blowing Gatsby away. Just like Last year's Avengers killed Dark Shadows. But I have to give Gatsby props, it's great counter programming for Females. Females like RDJ and Gwenth but "IM3" is still a male driven film. Gatsby give females something to watch at the start of the summer. Throw in a great cast and cool visuals. As well as making it in 3D which is rare for dramatic features. "IM3" already has a great box office run locked up but the reception in my opinion is very mixed. I think the Twist was too polarizing. It's OW has to do with the fact it's coming off "The Avengers". That was clearly an Avengers Effect because of the love of that film carried over to people being hugely interested it seeing IM again. Also they marketed as this huge Showdown with Tony and his Arch-nemesis The Manderin. So Props to Gatsby, the critics may be mixed but the audience clearly liked it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it clear that audiences liked it? They may have... Seems too early to tell though. A "B" cinemascore's somewhat alarming. Then again, it may not mean much... But, honestly, until we see how Gatsby fares this week and next weekend, how can you gauge how much audiences enjoyed the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean that at all.FWIW, I'm glad Gatsby isn't being blown away because that sure as hell would've been boring and bad.

Don't think this is a good comparision or a fair fight.... Avengers to Dark Shadows = Iron Man to Great Gatsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a "B" cinema-score and 84% audience on RT and a 7.5 IMBD rating thus far I think is pretty good. Also factor in it has a high enough interest to give IM3 coming off the 2nd Biggest OW Ever a run for it's money on it's second weekend. Obviously we will see how it fares in the long run but so far so good for Gatsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acetabulum7 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 IM3 should get a nice jump today (Saturday) with kids out of school. But yes, WOM is not as amazing as it was initially. But it's still pretty good; I wouldn't call it anywhere close to "mixed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Gatsby's lesser rating almost across the board is good? Edited May 11, 2013 by JohnnyGossamer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Iron Man 3 is getting decent word of mouth but nothing spectacular. Iron Man 3 was very lucky to be coming right on the heels of the Avengers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) @Ed, how in the world would it miss 40 with a 19.4 Fri unless it completely collapsed like 70% Sat and Sunday http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=magicmike.htm Edited May 11, 2013 by Goffe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
