Wknd Est: MU - 46.1M; The Heat - 40M; WWZ - 29.8M; WHD - 25.7M; MoS - 20.8M; (pg 104)

[#ED]

You don't want to play that game.

IM3 has shit legs. So will MoS.What's the deal? Yeah I know 410M is Amazing and 300M is good,But it's still shit legs regardless.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Red 2 looks like the 2nd most generic movie of the summer after AErff, and the most generic sequel. Its almost painful having to watch the trailer in theaters and all the jokes fall flat, even the body in the trunk one, which falls even flatter than in RIPD when Marissa Miller is thrown into the bus window. I don't see how this sequel adds anything new and this doesn't look like the type of movie to pay $11+ for. I can see this being big on Redbox though. I wouldn't be surprised if this finished under 75m.

idk I dont mind the red 2 trailer whereas I groan every time im forced to watch the ripd one

[filmnerdjamie]

I doubt its opening weekend can be explained that way, but after a few days when word of mouth sets in, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's the case in some areas of the country.

 

Saw it last night. In "flyover country." Sold out screening. Audience loved it and nobody noticed any politics left or right (I did but that's because I'm aware of Emmerich and it didn't make it better or worse).

[ban1o]

I'm sorry but anyone that says WHD is a liberal movie or whatever is speaking BS. How is it liberal in anyway? It's a generic action film. Was olympus has fallen considered liberal?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

The audience before WHD loved the Grown Ups 2 trailer, I even chuckled. I never saw the first, but this looks like a potential hit.

[mcclaine]

With Red receiving a C+ CinemaScore I'd say the opposite is more likely. Red 2 = bombs away. No one asked for a sequel and the first wasn't even well received.

 

"Red wasn't even well received"? What are you talking about?It got very good reviews, great legs, good RT and Metacritics ratings. 

 

I'm all in for the sequel, but then again, look at my avatar  

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Ban1o, already discussed that also I would have to give out spoilers to explain why.

Sorry I haven't seen the film but none of Emmerich's films make me think of polital motivation. It's just seems dumb for people to say so.

If we go by multiplierBb - 4.3Dark Knight - 3.2Tdkr - 2.8Im1 - 3.2Im2 - 2.4Im 3 - 2.3Mos - 2.4-2.6 (280-300 million)Tasm - 4.2In essence newer versions always have highest multiplier even if their sequels may have the higher final box office number and even if the movie is better than the previous one

 

If you're going to calculate a weekend multiplier for a Wednesday opener, you average together the 3-day and 5-day numbers. TASM did not have a 4.2 multiplier. Sorry. 

 

Using that equation, TASM has a 99-100mil 3-day opening and a 2.6x.

SATURDAY AM, 4TH UPDATE: COMING

 

[tonytr87]

Depending on the time of the year movies behave dramatically different, so all this talk of weekend multipliers is plain dumb. The more balanced way to do it is comparing the first seven days, why exclude the weekdays?

 

That may be true, but there's no actual way of knowing that IM3 would've had better legs were it released at a different time of the summer. 

[mcclaine]

My biggest problem with Red 2 is that the studio saw a solid Fall-time hit and, IMO, mistook it as something whose sequel deserves to open in the middle of summer. I could be wrong, but, I just don't sense the same desire for this one. Red was a breath of fresh air for general audiences with its October release in 2010.

 

That is so true. When i saw the moved the release date to the middle of the summer, i thought they were crazy. It is almost impossible to repeat their numbers in this summer.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Sorry I haven't seen the film but none of Emmerich's films make me think of polital motivation. It's just seems dumb for people to say so.

If you are political, you will defiantly notice. All that really matters is if you get upset by it.

[GiantCALBears]

Another obscenely long thread for some reason. Go get some fresh air guys jeeze

[GiantCALBears]

That # for MU is sensational btw, maybe one of the most impressive of summer. Today should be big for it.

The last time July 4th was on a Thursday, numbers were pretty meh for the week.

looks like action films benefit from 4th of July the most based on that.
