samsha22 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The Purge user rating on rottentomatoes: 59%, 3.3/5, 25K votes for comparison: NYSM - 75%, 3.9/5, 48K votes After Earth - 49%, 3.1, 57K votes Internship - 74%, 3.7, 26K votes F&F6 - 87%, 4.3, 116K votes Hangover 3 - 50%, 3.3, 75K votes STID - 92%, 4.3, 141K votes Gatsby - 72%, 3.8, 95K votes Based on these numbers, and apparent twitter reaction, it looks like The Purge isn't exactly going to have great WOM. Horror movies generally gets toxic WOM and D,E,F cinemascores.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I guess it's possible, but I'm thinking more along the lines of $16m for now. Maybe a bit less. This is horror's first test with 10pm shows in summertime so I'd rather stay conservative for Friday actual. This is pretty much the very beginning of post-Aurora summertime regular 10pm preview shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one? OK ' 'The Purge' even had bigger buzz & anticipation months before Edited June 7, 2013 by Leyla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 John Carter was great but sinking 300 mill into an original property is just fucking moronic. If everyone thought that way, Avatar would not have been made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 impressive Re: NYSM. It is pretty good but PRESTIGE is still king as far as twisty mind-f*ck movies are concerned. The twist in NYSM is not as dramatic, mind-blowing, so-simple-it's-awesome as the one in THE PRESTIGE. The best thing in the movie is a fight sequence with one of the Horsemen, reminds me a lot of Jackie Chan at his most creative. Why is this successful? People are just tired of seeing another building gets blown up, another ship falling from the sky. And, o yeah: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) 2,925 Locations Now onto 3000+ ! it already made back its budget (the official one obv) I loved the Prestige but I was rooting for Jackman so the end pissed me off Can't really compare nysm to it at all. Different tone. nysm is just mindless fun (wish it had more humor though) Prestige is a thriller. Melanie is gorgeous Edited June 7, 2013 by Leyla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyla Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) smart move to build the hype so it can gross to its full potential the 1st wkend then it can die & still end up pretty successful tiny budget helps too Edited June 7, 2013 by Leyla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
