Jack Nevada Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 btw GOD is it good to be back in the summer season! I'd been waiting for this shit forever! Every weekend brings new meltdowns and victories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Not to sound cynical but poor quality has never stopped a movie from doing big OS I'm not disagreeing, but I'm saying that the schedule is too crowded for it to snatch a decent amount of people in order to pass your 230M OS prediction. Sony realized very late that the movie is shit and dumped it... Moved its release date back (US), then didn't do any marketing at all for OS or DOM. (Honestly, I haven't seen one single ad in Romania) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 So After Earth was really the only "supposed" big opener till MoS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wait...how do we know it's going to open that low? 1 mil midnights for an original film doesn't tell us anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every weekend brings new meltdowns and victories. Next weekend should be boring... unless Intership fails to do 15M and The Purge breaks the 20M.

If a movie with Hogwarts expelled wizards makes more in midnights than this... It tells us a lot. It also has the advantage of 3D, which NYSM didn't.

Deep Wang Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I actually feel really bad for MNS. He is going to be the only one people blame because of his downward spiral. He had a hand in it, don't get me wrong, but he is far from the prime suspect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horror big. Like 30 something opening and a finish north of 60. Internship will most likely flop, but I'd love to see it breaking out, especially after Hangover disappointed. People might be looking for a decent comedy right now, and they have Internship and This is The End coming up, so we should expect one to break out.

Chewy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The thing I've always wondered about Big Willie is why he never gave his older son, the football player, this kind of push Black sheep of the family? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yea, Purge is gonna surprise some people next weekend. I see 28 million for it, and 30 isn't out of the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Who is the prime suspect then? The studios? They are suspects, too... I mean they moved it a few weeks ahead of release and the marketing was nearly non-existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 It's opening on the 2nd week of Fast and Furious and The Hangover 2.Not to mention The directors recent failures.It will open up in 2nd(possible 3rd place). Will Smith can only do so much.27M OW / 78M TOTAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
