Well that was fun-that guy from last night is no more. Everyone say bye James!

 

good riddance to that pyscho, lol.

[kayumanggi]

No because people are seeing other movies as well. I think what he means is that there is hardly a negative review among many from people that have seen the movie. That is true.

 

So great WOM = hardly a negative review among many from people that have seen the movie?

 

Please don't get me wrong because the definition I know for great wom is when a movie gets a good multiplier / holds well in the weekends to come. It means the audience expands, and the news that a movie is great spreads.

I think those are some very optimistic projections for "Fast 6". With "Fast 5"-drops over Memorial Day it would end up with 116,5m in 4 days.

 

There may be a presumption that Fast is playing the quadrants.

Maybe after he's run out of forums to troll he can finally get round to those Avatar sequels...

When someone starts comparing Iron Man 1 to FF6, that's when you know the discussion is done.

 

Please. Don't tell me you expected IRON MAN to make 300 M. You are only saying this because you already know how it performed.

[cratos]

Okay FF6 is on par with IM1, happy

I know you are kidding but comparing each movie's WOM is one thing, but comparing their boxoffice runs to gauge WOM is another. Two totally different situations.

[kayumanggi]

So measuring wom is subjective now?

If you know what it means then why are you questioning me? I'm only telling you what I think Jandrew meant. Surely you can see that. I think everybody else knew what Jandrew meant. Why didn't you just reply to him with this post instead of trying to be so confrontational? But whatever.

A sequel will almost never have holds as good as a well-received first entry in a franchise, no matter how strong WOM is. Sequels generally have audiences that are more defined than first films, and it takes something out of the norm to expand on that in a significant way

Come on. I was just asking for your opinion. How do you define a great wom. What's confrontational there? Whatever.

Since when has WOM *not* been subjective?

I agree with your definition. But Jandrew is the one who would benefit more from your explanation. I don't mean to offend. I just think it would be more helpful to him and others if you would have just said that in your reply to him. You've been around for a long time. Each one teach one.

FF6 is the 6th installment of a popular franchise. It's always gonna be more frontloaded than the first installment of a SURPRISE HIT franchise that came out of nowhere. Iron Man opened big but beyond that, it's potential was pretty much limitless. Mass appeal, first installment, something new (Iron Man has never been done before, recently anyway), combined with great WOM etccc. Come back to me when Iron Man 6 has good WOM (or even Iron Man 4), then we can start comparing second weekend drops. Edited May 26, 2013 by cratos

40.83 M / 167.45 M (4.10X) CASINO ROYALE

67.53 M / 168.37 M (2.49x) QUANTUM OF SOLACE

88.36 M / 304.36 M (3.44x) SKYFALL

 

SKYFALL was a sequel but it held way better than QOS. That for me is great WOM.

He can surely read my posts.

Fast Six has good WOM.

 

It actually increased from 7,7 too 7.8 on IMDB when the US release happend

[TylerDurden365]

Fast and Furious movies are incredibly easy to predict how they will perform.  They're like Twilight or Potter at this point.  There's an audience that will show up on the opening weekend, the opening day will be front loaded, and the legs will be mediocre to terrible even if the movie is well received (Fast Five).  There's nothing wrong with any of that.  It doesn't make the franchise any less interesting to follow or more commendable for its success.  It just means that it is what it is.  Now Hangover 3 on the other hand...woof.

That just proves its audience killed a few more brain cells with drink and drugs since last year.

So...A great WOM is a 3x multiplier on legs?

It depends on the film really.

 

Something lM3 doing like 2.5 would be solid, while MOS getting a 2.5 multiplier would be horrid.

Perhaps it appears the people watch these films are just people?
