WKND BO: #StarTrek $70.6M/$84.1M, IronMan3 $35.2M/$337.1M, Gatsby $23.4M/$90.2M

Very few expected Battleship or John Carter to do well, especially when we go to release.

 

Trek is going to come in well below the deflated expectations from this week.

 

And I have no idea what the fuck happened to my picture. What the hell is that weird dude?! FUUUCK

IM3 should be able to pull in 33M+ for this weekend if that 9.2M number holds.

 

I don't know how to extrapolate for TGG

Seriously, massively incredibly disappointing. I don't think there's been a blockbuster that's underperformed this much relative to even modest expectations since at least Prince Caspian. Barring a huge Saturday increase, $220m doesn't even seem likely. Unbelievable.

Kung Fu Panda 2.

 

Never forget.

How can a movie have a estimated range from 21M-28M? That's so insane!

It doesn't. The range is 26-28.

You're definitely right about John Carter, but I think there was some real optimism for Battleship considering its summer release date and Transformers-like premise.  Actually STiD seems to be following in Battleship's footsteps.  Both released two weeks after the huge marvel movie of the summer.

Id hate to break you the bad news.

TGG is holding well because it's not a movie for the blockbuster crowd.

rth's numbers are indicating 21-23

yeah, I know that. What I don't know is how to extrapolate for the weekend from that Friday number 

[Elessar]

No Shrek 2 i guess. 

[Sam]

So, here's Rth latest update for those who haven't seen it 

 

 

Think I'm just going to give up on working out STid,  looks like BOG earlier est he got 21-23m is more on the cards, strange but still it happens, I can't see anything drastically happening to increase it

Stid 21-23, IM3 9.2, TGG 7.4

[Hatebox]

Lol, last time I saw this thread the number was at 28m. Glad I held off from commenting 'see, I knew it'd be fine!'.

[StarSaber]

RTH why have you failed us? Did we not please you? What could we have done? Do you need a mortal sacrifice?

WTF? I know where your numbers come from. How can you be so far off?

[The Futurist]

Is rth trolling us ???

 

[Elessar]

As a protest i will watch STID again...

[DeeCee]

I'm cutting my arms right now. Tell me when to stop.

[Mojoguy]

I'm cutting my arms right now. Tell me when to stop.

STOP.Buy another ticket to go see STID.

[pieman]

Kung Fu Panda 2.

 

Never forget.

 

 

Sherlock Holmes 2 was sort of over-predicted as well.
