Proof that being nominated for an Oscar does not equal success.

[Dragon]

Only here for FF6 and NYSM

[Godzilla]

Damn, The Purge only has a 3m budget. It's gonna be profitable by the end of this weekend. Crazy.

It's going to be profitable in just it's OD gross......

[John Marston]

What reason would Fast 6 have to drop another 50%. Fast Five dropped 37% third weekend

[Impact]

Was coming up with what it could do for this weekend-I had a 25% drop for Saturday but that would still give it a 31.5M OW. Which it will likely not make.

[Impact]

Okay-here:

 

OD: 14M

Saturday: 9M

Sunday: 5.5M

OW: 28.5M

UPDATE: Universal’s low-budget horror film, “The Purge,” is invading theaters at an alarming rate. The $3 million-produced feature from Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions is on track for $14 million Friday and a controlling $30 million weekend, according to early estimates. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn’s “The Internship,” meanwhile, is No. 2 with a tepid $19 million weekend.

19M-better then some were saying...heck even Fox was not expecting that

Just wish we could have a new PG-13 comedy do well that is good. (Well Anchorman 2 should do that)

Holdovers please.

I initially borked at idea of Purge doing 16, thinking atm 14-16, it should be very strong going into evening way about anything else Intern go with 6-8 atm, take a look couple hrs see how looks +/- , NTSM seems to be holding well

[John Marston]

Damn I hope the Overperforming openers don't hurt holdovers too much

Good to know.  Just got back from the Purge.  I wanted to like it, I really did.  Still glad to see it putting up such big numbers and living up the amount of buzz it had going into today.

FF6 better hold well or I'll cut a bitch

[grey ghost]

What the hell is The Purge?Sounds like me in the bathroom after some Taco Bell.

Just when you think Rth couldn't get more awesome, he drops "borked" in a sentence.
