Is Fast 6 the only fresh film in the top 5? (Not sure what Epic has)

[ban1o]

epic has a 62 i think

Yeah I think your right.

Now You See Me seems to be like the National Treasure films-IE not critical films but audiences love it.

I've been hearing it isn't that good

Dang its RT score is even nearly the same as those!

I wonder what kind of deal Ethan Hawke got for The Purge? If it's one that includes getting backend profits, he can get a good chunk of cash for this.

With Now You See Me and Red 2-Summit looks to have a good Twi-free year.

It does seem to epitomize the ultimate lightweight crowdpleaser, and neither film has any character die.

National Treasure 2:

In NT2 the villain dies

But yeah get your point.

So what are people thinking Purge will do on it's OW? I mentioned it on this page but I see 27M-34M right now. Depends on todays drop of course.

[Mattrek]

The Purge is going to drop like a rock. Most people seeing this are the tech savvy younger generation and bad WOM spreads very quickly among that demographic. I don't know if it'll even hit 30m for the weekend honestly.

Summit doesn't really exist any more, it's just part of Lionsgate now.

The NBA Finals cut into previews, and massive numbers of high school graduations might have cut into Friday totals. Obviously it will drop, but not that much. It still has alot of audience that wants to see it.

Yep we had tons of HS graduations last month here. (On Trek's OW)

[blackspider]

I expect the Friday share to be around 50-55% of its OW. So an OW around 32-34m.

I know. Overall, they limit their deaths. Hell, Sean Bean survived and he always dies.

 

Also come to think of it in NT1, just one goon dies.

Wait Morgan Freeman

does not die in Now you See Me??? He always dies!

Summit was smart with the marketing of Now You See Me when they put that intriguing trailer in front of Breaking Dawn 2 back in November.

It wont drop that fast, and ive seen plenty of tweets were people said theyre seeing it regardless of what others said. It wont have good legs overall, but the weekend will be fine.
