other than for the families that treated IM3 like a family film

 

 

If IM3 didn't exist, and if a movie like Wolverine or Elysium would have come out at the start of May instead of IM3, I think Epic would be looking at even bigger numbers this weekend than it already is.

Make me more curious about IM3 hold. Epic will be its direct competition, not others.

See, this is animation striking back after Kung Fu Panda 2.

 

Revenge tastes good.

 

It would be sweet irony and karma if that happened. Too bad KFP2 deserved the success way more than Epic though.

The Croods doing well despite im3 being around gives me some optimism on the hold this weekend. And THO3 tanking so far helps.

No beer but I think a bottle of sake will do the trick as well

It's losing a lot of theaters this week though

 

The Croods Fox 1,008 -1,365

 

 

Still 185m+ is a great result and it's going to have a 4+ multiplier.

I need to move to the west coast. They know wats up. They love my franchise.

 

Or down here in South Florida.

Yeah it definitely outperformed my expectations. TBH I didn't like it all that much but its run has been really good. All helped by the incredible holds in TC. It didn't drop much the past few weeks. It's only this week it dropped a lot.

Definitely a great result for The Croods The big drop in TC is expected since there are 3 openers this weekend. All other movies have their TC dropped big too.

[Impact]

Too be fair though-when every week this month has had only 1 or 2 releases, that is expected.

True but he made a point about The Croods. Again I'm hoping that IM3 can still get the family style bumps its been getting despite Epic really doing good. I haven't followed it much but it may be something fun to catch on a Sunday.

I knew this would play with families! Theres also a lot of hispanic, but I see most all races being repped here.

'Hangover Part III' bombing at the box office

The “Hangover” franchise  is no longer a laughing matter.

 

The third -- and promised final -- installment in the booze-fueled exploits of the so-called Wolf Pack is bombing at the Memorial Day weekend box office, where it is being run over not only by “Fast & Furious 6” but also by the 3-D animated family film “Epic.”

When “The Hangover Part III” debuted late Wednesday, industry prognosticators were estimating that the sequel would gross about $80 million in its first five full days of release -- a steep drop from the $135 million the second movie made between Thursday and Monday in 2011, but a decent enough opening in absolute terms.

But early returns Friday suggested that the Warner Bros. “Hangover” film, which cost $103 million and was trashed by critics, could gross as little as $48 million in its five-day debut. The best-case estimates only have “The Hangover Part III” grossing about $55 million, well below the $80-million projection.

 

The new “Fast” film, on the other hand, is racing away from the competition. Industry estimates before the Universal movie debuted late Thursday showed that “Fast & Furious 6” could gross as much as $100 million in its first four full days in theaters. The $160-million sequel should hit that mark, early returns showed.

103 million? Dang how much do those guys get paid? Other then too much.
