Fast won't flop, the momentum is there.

MoS is the movie of the Summer!

hahaha ...

It doesn't matter if it actually flops, if the Friday number ain't beautiful then the Floppers will come out to crown it with a dunce cap, deserving or no.

I don't think it will increase that much from the last one though. I don't even know if it will increase.

BTC has it at 90 M 4-day which is kinda worrisome since this is a frontloaded franchise.

Fast won't flop. TH3 will be lower than the last two films but I can't imagine its budget being that much. And Epic seems like an afterthought

Fast Five had a 34.4 OD in 2011. People are now divebombing onto the F&F6 train but if its OD doesn't go much higher you'll have some Chicken Littles screaming flop and jumping off quickly.

#IronMan3 jumps up to #25 on all-time domestic gross chart passing Spidey3. Heading to $400M+.

wow, that's low ...

Speaking of box office disappointments, King Arthur's currently airing on AMC. Such an aggressively dull film.

IM3 actually could miss 800M OS ... about 70M last week. with 50% drop, it would end just at 800M OS.

 

As long as it hits 1.2 billion WW, I'm happy.

[ecstasy]

Pretty harsh drop considering the shitty weekday numbers. I figured the bad weekday numbers would help inflate the weekend like it did last week. But looks like ST2 hurt it.

 

Expected to have some impact. It wasn't going to go unscathed.

It will.

STID should have marketed better its Villain. Perhaps even hinting at the reveal.

[grey ghost]

I expect MoS to underperform like Trek. Don't see it crossing 300M+, more like 250M.....

 

 

MOS will have the novelty and cool factor Trek 2 was desperately missing which should push MOS far beyond Superman Returns in ticket sales.

 

300 m is very much in play.

It's not that harsh at all. The weekend was inflated pretty damn good from the shitty weekday numbers.

51% drop in the third weekend is harsh unless you think the movie has poor WOM.

But to go from 3.3 on Thursday to 9.5 on Friday to 15M+ on Saturday is far from harsh. Given all the alleged hype for Trek, it should have done a lot more damage to IM3.

I'm holding out hope for 200m, I think it could still hit it, but not much more than that. Still can't believe I'm saying that though. 200M? The fuck? Definitely the most disappointing opening of the year so far.

[kayumanggi]

FAST & FURIOUS 6 opened its overseas release with a $13.8M opening weekend in the UK. #1 film in the UK market. #Fast6
