People will be disapointed about any films number. Later this year: OMG Catching Fire only made 395M! (No I'm not predicting that-I don't know what it will do at the moment, but yeah someone will say something dumb like that)

Interesting, We'll see. Why are you smiling? 

 

It's just funny how each new number seems at the opposite end of the estimates this weekend.

:lol:You know-too bad we can't see what people might of said when Potter 2 decreased from the first.

[Jandrew]

Well, he was.

 

I've never seen Robocop, IDK who they're talking about haha. Wasnt it Gary Oldman or something?

People are also going on about Robocop being in it?

 

 

The funny thing is, he also played a very similar role in an episode of Enterprise.

Though it is a sad world where we see these being the sequels that increase:Twilight

Paranormal Activity

KFP2 is the weirdest movie ever in terms of box office. The first was a really well received movie that some of my friends quote to this day, it received good reviews (on par with KFP1), the word of mouth was good (anectodal evidence, but everyone I know who saw it liked it) and it was released on a good date, and despite all of this going for it - it underperformed completely. This is something most BO analysts are still trying to make sense of even 2 years after the fact.

 

I was like 17, but me and a group of friends all went, and I loved it, more than the first. I'm still baffled by the decrease too. I think there were $400M predicts for that also.

They have to wait on the West Coast money. They are projecting based on the east coast matinee trends then they look at the evening shows. Any later increase or decrease from estimates come from the final tally from West Coast shows. It's only 8pm and they have shows up until 1am + still left to go.

True-other wise any film that is a western will be listed as bombing and I'm sure Tyler Perry does not do well there either.

Peter Weller.

Peter Weller he's played villains on 24 and Dexter

[Impact]

lolwut?

I mean if they just wanted east coast numbers films that are westerns wouldn't be listed as doing well. (If noboy told me the weekend estimate for Rango, I would of thought it was at least 60 million, the theater was PACKED when I saw it on it's first Sunday)

Wha.....??? Dude, it's a must-see. Seriously, one of the best SF/action films in the last 30 years. (It's Peter Weller, btw.)

[Impact]

I seriously thought in the theater I heard someone say "It's Peter Sellers!" to someone and I was going "Ummm he has been dead for over 30 years".

There building a Robocop statue in Detroit

The West Coast has disappointed quite a lot of times recently
