4-Day Wknd Est: FF6 - 120M; TH3 - 51.2M; STID - 47M; Epic - 42.6M; IM3 - 24.3M; TGG - 17M

[Chewy]

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.

 

Skyfall reintroduced Q and Moneypenny, had a great marketing campaign and Adele song, and

killed off M

. There was a must-see factor there that made it more than "just another Bond movie"

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.

 

So there right? Not all comic book movies (new entries) made numbers the way IRON MAN did. Comic book adaptations usually don't perform like that. FANTASTIC FOUR, THOR, CA: TFA, GL.

Skyfall was a great film but the whole 50th anniversary factor was an X factor...

 

A comparison would be like TA boosting IM3. 

 

 

It cause a lot more attention and awareness for the film, add in that it was a great film it exploded. 

[#ED]

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?

Well that's actually what I expect in MoS(2.5x). Not because its a bad movie but the competition is going to do major damage.

He can surely read my posts.

The competition is pretty light for a summer release. I'd consider a 2.5x multi disappointing

Not every comic book movie has RDJ

Hence the great WOM, right? It's when the audience expands and gives a film good holds because they enjoy what they see in the movie.

 

The two recent FAF also have new tricks. They added The Rock, they changed the theme from being a racing-centered movie to a crime-solving one, whatever you want to call it. Those were must see factors. Plus the end credit scene.

Lol. Who was RDJ before IRON MAN?

[Impact]

Wait RDJ was not in Batman or Spider-Man??? Dang!

[Dementeleus]

And yet SKYFALL had weaker legs than CR.

[Impact]

Lol. Who was RDJ before IRON MAN?

Drug addict. Mel Gibson helped him get out of it.

[junkshop36]

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

Sorry, I neither drink nor do drugs and I very much enjoyed F5 and F6.

The guy looked perfect in the trailers. Iron Man had a fantastic marketing campaign.

Oscar nominee drug addict, lol.

But that doesn't mean it didn't have great wom. CR's wom was just better. People use the "sequel" argument all the time. SKYFALL had way better legs than QOS despite opening bigger and experiencing serious competition.

[kowhite]

Lol. Who was RDJ before IRON MAN?

He was the co-star in The Shaggy Dog. Clearly the reason Iron Man opened to 98m.

Well no, Fast Five added the Rock and reimagined the series as capers with cars. Hence the huge increase and stronger holds compared to the fourth one. So yes, must-see factors

 

Furious 6 kept all of those factors but they're no longer new, so there's less room to increase. It'll keep most of F5's audience and expand it a little, but it no longer has the unique must-see factor F5 did. So it'll open bigger, and have worse legs.

Huh? Light? Monsters UniversityWorld War ZThe HeatWhite House DownDespicable Me 2The Lone RangerGrown Ups 2Pacific RimAll these movies are released within 4 weeks after MoS release. Where is this "light" part you speak of ?
