If Godzilla disappoints next year, we'll probably see studios avoid releasing tentpole this weekend. The last film to do very well in the 3rd weekend of May was what, Shrek 3? 

Yep. Finals/graduation really seem to take there toll on this weekend also.

[Impact]

The top 3 films are all in 3D. (Even if Gastby makes no sense that it is in 3D)

[Impact]

250M+ films where the next one increased:LOTR (Trilogy)

Potter (Various films)

Pirates

Transformers

Iron Man 2 (Almost at least)

New Moon/Breaking Dawn 1 (I almost put Breaking Bad )

Episode II

ROTJ (Okay this one is questionable I know as Episode I was 16 years later)

Shrek (Duh can't believe I forgot that!)

 

Not a lot really.

Yeah I edited that in-I somehow forgot to put that

Just realize how big DMC and TF2 domestically woh..

 

 

Anyways Sat looks to increase but day business is not good at all. 

 

 

 

TA 2 will likely decrease around 10% from TA I think to be honest ^^ 

[Deep Wang]

It looks like U.S.S Enterprise  is going down with her captain. 

 

Actually, her captain has definitely jumped (space)ship to another sci-fi series.

 

Which means I am immediately not looking forward to it.

[Impact]

Yep-Catching Fire I see a decrease, while MJ2 will be the biggest given how those films seem to do that are split into 2.

Now one I see a nice increase for or decent at least is TASM2.

So yeah Trek really is like T3 and MIB2 the more and more I think about it.

BTC Sat Update TREK2 63 3Day, IRMN3 35, MUD 2, PAING 3 details inside

 

Without 3D and expanded IMAX, that could be in the mid 50's, maybe in straddle high 40's? Ouch.

Domestically, I see TA2 opening huge (breaking multiple records) but ultimately coming short domestically.  Overseas is a different matter.

Also in case people forgot.  "Star Trek Into Darkness" is the 12th Film of the Franchise.  Only Bond could be compared as far as having that many films.  

[Impact]

So what was the last major sequel to decrease WW? (Not including Scary Movie 5 that someone said earlier or TASM as that was a reboot)

Yep I pointed that out. Godzilla also

[Michael Gary Scott]

Elementary>Sherlock. (This is the correct use of the greater then symbol)

Wrong

Yes, embarrassing performance. No two ways about it.

[Impact]

I do find it amusing that I use to hear all the time in line "That showing is in 2d, is that okay?" Now it is: "This showing is in 3D, is that okay?"

[Cedarpoint1111]

Wow I was really expecting a big increase. Guess I was just in denial when Thursday numbers came out.

[Impact]

Well it is a 90% increase. Which is better then most increases for Thursday openers.....

[Biggestgeekever]

Yes, embarrassing performance. No two ways about it.

Not to mention it's virtually guaranteed to have a 55+% drop next weekend, whereas Trek 09 got a $43m second weekend. Man...

[blackspider]

Whoever said this was like Kung Fu Panda all over again hit it right on the head. Paramount fucked up yet again.
