Airbender had sizable fanbase and it appealed kids.

Kids films are the most critics/review/RT proof ones. Second chick flicks. Then comedies and horros. Then normal blockbuster sequels.

 

Original high concept sci fi films are the most RT sensitive ones, then serious dramas and thrillers, then Oscar movies, then action movies.

Airbender 5day gross was 52% of its DOM take.

Given the WOM, the genre, the date... Right now, I'm expecting LR 5day will be 40-45% of its DOM take. So 100M is kind of guarenteed.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

disagree.

 

TLR 5-days ~ 55% DOM total

[stripe]

disagree.

 

TLR 5-days ~ 55% DOM total

 

More than Airbender, which had an amazing OD?

More than Twilight saga?

More than anything?

Look at the films that opened this weekend in recent years. If they don't have rush factor, even with bad WOM, reach a 40-45%

[ManofSteel]

Anything about Man of Steel yet?

TLR's failure is delicious.

[baumer]

I dont undrstand why everyone wants TLR to fail. Why so much hate?

I agree. I can never get really excited when a movie bombs. People's jobs are at risk. Their time and effort has been squandered.

Sometimes people can just tell a movie is going to bomb.

 

Sometimes get over zealous like for example with WWZ/ 

[baumer]

And tge hate comes from people whi havent even seen it. So people are hating a movie because it got bad reviews?

sometimes i feel like some ppl crawl out only when another fail is coming & they like feed on that

 

i was only truly happy abt the HO3 failing (it still got 110m & counting tho) b/c it's offensive

Even AE didnt make me cheer that much b/c I generally like Will Smith
