Olive Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 It's my best worst prediction ever. Some runner ups include: TTT 264 mill The Day the Earth Stood Still: 200 mill No summer film opening over 140 and finishing with 400 Those are just off the top of my head....I'm sure there are at least 10 more terrible predictions I could find of mine if I thought about it more. TASM under 200M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 TASM under 200M? Like I said, those were the ones I thought of first. I could find ten more, no problem. That is one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I just wanted to remind everybody that the first bad guy imprisoned behind plexiglas looking all kinds of evil, clever and manipulative was Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. NOT the Joker. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 YES. Yes it does Include, it seems ... Yep. So $12m Thursday. Forget Star Fleet, this is Star Flop. Ugh. I will say this, I saw a tv spot last night during the Warriors v. Spurs saying it opened on the Friday the 17th. Hopefully that is the issue otherwise this is horrible. When I went to the movies yesterday to see Gatsby the theater was eerily dead. It was about 5pm so I wasn't expecting a big crowd but I mean no one was there except for a few people. This weekend has to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I don't know why everybody is going in on Baumer for his predictions in the past. He always mans up and takes his lumps. He should have the luxury of dragging bad predictions on this movie, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) So far this feels like Prince Caspian/KFP2 all over again. Still holding out hope it'll be more like TF3, though. Edited May 17, 2013 by Jake Gittes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I predicted Perks of Being a Wallflower to hit over $100m. I swear it could have done it had Summit not fucked its release. Bastards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
