OHF hardly had any competation. Plus their marketing was way better than WHD.

Competition aspect makes sense, but a movie with Tatum and Foxx in the dead of summer should have been able to match OHF.  Similar storyline sure didn't help anything, but mid 20's is pathetic.

lol a fat girl just took Tatum Channings spot as the hottest star in Hollywood.

Still it won't cross 280M WW.

How does it need 280 million WW to be a success? 100 million budget needs around 220 million to be a success right?

I love how we have estimates when we only have preview/midnight numbers.

 

Ridiculous.

Tatum has a large female fanbase. It is a double edged sword as they will watch him in comedies, romantic movies etc. and skip everything else. There is a reason why it took Leo years to redefine himself after Titanic and he hasn't done a romantic role since then.

 

 

just look at the style of movie and the marketing for WHD: it's totally a non-female movie!

Wanna bet?

Maybe cause Tatum kept dying thorugh out most his film this year  the ladies thought he would died in this one

[ecstasy]

45m weekend off of 1m previews makes little/no sense...

 

 

How about 40m then, lol. Didn't the vow and safehouse get nearly that much?

you understand that other sources are doing their estimates based on early matinee numbers and presales, right?

At the rate this summer is going for them, Sony will probably announce 7 more Spider-Man films.

Well as expected-looks like a easy win for Monsters again! They just love to do the mash!

[grey ghost]

Grown Ups 2 will make over 150m, so yeah that film wins for Sony.

This is what Sony amounts to when Spidey and Bond take the year off.

Well last year was a bad year for Paramount, this year Sony!

Based on the twitter posts being posted in this thread, it appears this is going off based off Previews/Midnights.

 

Nikki should be updating in about 10 minutes, We'll see.

We've had competing asteroid movies, animated bug movies, volcano movies and even competing Lambada movies.  Sometimes one will end up on the short end of the stick

And when Will Smith is having a bad year.

[ExcelFTW]

Not a chance in hell HEAT opens to under 45 million. Fact.

[Mattrek]

And when Will Smith is having a bad year.

After Earth was all on Jaden, not Will.

If they were, those estimates would have come out hours ago.

Cloudy 2 could be Sony's biggest actually.
