I think this forum should reconsider the notion that every sequel number 2 must increase because the first one was so well liked.

 

Every movie, every franchise has a glass ceiling.

 

Except for CF of course.

STOP.Buy another ticket to go see STID.

I've just bought a ticket to the US. I should be able to see it at least 4 times on Sunday.

So about 78-ish for the 4-day? I was hoping it would at least do as well as OST. I can't believe it's under performing so badly.

I think someone hacked into Rth's account for that 21-23 number. It'll go back up to 27 again.

[fmpro]

it will go up again

I can't believe I'm hoping Nikki's estimate is the right one this time!

Looks like BOM's 250m prediction wasn't lowballing after all.

An epic of epic proportions.

Blame it all on Paramount.

FF6 : $270 millions domestic + $730 millions OS = $1 billion  

 

Call me crazy but its a tiny possibility...but a possibility nonetheless....

 

Personally it's and always was my wild card of the summer if ( and it's a big if) a movie should upset and hit the $1 billion's milestone unexpectedly. 

 

Thor2 is the next potential upset of the year with more or less the same configuration, breaking the OS market left and right to crawl near that mark and hit $250+ millions domestic wise.

 

In any case, those movies should hit $850 millions ww at least.

Yeah, what's happened to them?

[kayumanggi]

Marketing was great. Blame North America.

Is that a serious comment?

Overlooking the already established Enterprise crew for a mystery, generic villain played by a relatively unknown actor was great? To be fair, the movie itself is bland, does not take any risks and the only highlights are when it just retreads old ground, so I am fine with this film underwhelming.

21-23?

Yes. It's called EXTREME DENIAL.
