Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 11, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 11, 2013 So... does this still hit 70m? Can anyone tell me what kind of weekends we are looking at for IM3 and Gatsby? No matter what, Disney will probably project $70 million tomorrow with studio estimates. But I'd say $69-70m is the likely range. Maybe as low as $68.5 million, but, probably not with Mother's Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 wtf, how did we go from over 70 to under 70 within an hour lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 So Gatsby doesn't win Friday afterall. Glad I skipped the see saw yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Damn that's awful for Peeples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 With a Friday of $19.8M, I expect a Sunday right around $20.2. So, with that said, it's all about Saturday. We'll see... I caught Gatsby last night. I see no legs there. Maybe not even legs this weekend. Could be totally wrong... Just calling it like I see it though.

redfirebird2008 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 So... does this still hit 70m? Pretty good chance of it. Looks like BTC did the best job once again of projecting how things would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyneOh1040 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 SO STOKED on the Gatsby number. Seeing it tomorrow. Just as I thought, I've had some people tell me they loved it and a few others say they hated it. And while it's result should have its moment I am literally floored at that Peeples number. It just makes no sense. The marketing was there. The cast and names attached were there. The story seemed like a retelling of Meet the Parents, making it very approachable. This is one of the biggest what went wrongs I have EVER seen. I know a lot of people here probably don't watch Scandal but it is the biggest show out within the urban community right now and I would have bet that Kerry Washington's name would have been good for 5 million by itself. Add in Tyler Perry producing and I thought this had a legitimate shot at 15 million since it was great counter programming. I've seen several people say Perry can't put up numbers unless he's Madea but Why Did I get Married, Why Did I Get Married, Too and Temptation proved that that's not the case. A bit dumbfounded with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Looking at Saturday there is a clear trend. All the May Comic Book Openers have fallen around 50% or less from their opening Saturday's TA: 39% SM3: 51% IM1: 43% IM2: 50.5% Looking at this Saturday should be in around 30 million for IM3. So it will land around 70 million Edited May 11, 2013 by Lordmandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGG doesn`t win friday but that it came so damn close is a mirracle itself. It was expected to be #2 but nobody knew how big #2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Well unlike all those films IM3 faced a 20 million dollars in competition so its possible Friday was perhaps reduced a bit a few %? Anyways I think it should clear 30 million today. More Stats Friday to Friday Im3 Fell 71% however opening Friday including previews, In comparison Im2 fell 71% as well.

kayumanggi Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Leonardo DiCaprio just proved that the May 2nd weekend curse is just something studios use to excuse the weak results of their movies. May's 2nd weekend doesn't produce hits all the time though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 This shouldn't be Tyler Perrys biggest flop because he is only producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit dumbfounded with that one. While I certainly didn't hate it, I did think it was far and away Baz Luhrman's least compelling film to date in regards to storytelling, editing, musical compositions. I felt the acting trumped that of Australia though. I'd hoped for something more provocative and more memorable. Thought Baz delivered something pretty run of the mill. Just, well, pretty damn tame for Baz. Arguably more tame than Hooper's take on Les Mis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
