Wednesday Numbers | Despicable Me 2 - 34M | The Lone Ranger - 9.67M | Kevin Hart - 4.9M

[#ED]

These are still estimates.(whoever said RTH was wrong).

[Leyla]

or not

[Michael Yun Xia]

That's just a terrible number for The Lone Ranger, and with midnight accounting for so much of the opening day, it could struggle getting to $80m total, let alone $100m.

 

$350m looks set for Despicable Me 2, with a chance at surpassing Iron Man 3 for the top film of the summer.

[The Futurist]

Wes Anderson is cliché indie filmmaking 101.

 

The characters & their quirkiness, the fetichism with clothes, the soundtrack, the general aesthetics, the use of  obvious models for the climax of Moonrise Kingdom because models are so old school, charming, real and cute & CGI are soulless tools for the big, dumb & loud blockbusters.

 

After saying that, it doesn't mean I can't enjoy his films but they are as predictable as Transformers 4 Fast & Furious 7.

Well more people will go to the movies tomorrow then yesterday-but not sure if DM2 will have a better Friday then Wednesday, but I do see a better Saturday then it's OD.

[Deep Wang]

I got your beer right here!

 

 

That shit is amazing!

[Blankments]

Kevin Hart's LET ME EXPLAIN slayed audiences, as his concert film popped off w/ nearly $5M on just 876 screens yesterday.

 

I predicted a third of this for OW...

Best beer?

Rth said 33-35m, so he was spot on again.

Referring to his MU number. Someone said he was wrong, but no one is right at the moment, (no actuals)

If this weather keeps up, the Thursday drop could be better. People cant shoot fireworks in the rain.

Been raining in most of the Middle TN area off/on all morning. 

[Blankments]

Nice for MU, lol at TLR, and yay for me being in that club but boo in general at DM2.

[Impact]

Well it was raining a lot here yesterday which was nice as well as some really hot weather. Today it is pretty hot.

 

So what will be DM2's biggest day? I say Saturday, as I said I don't think it will do as good tomorrow as it did yesterday.

Of course though most films will be doing better tomorrow then yesterday. (So maybe yeah DM2 will do better tomorrow)

Kevin Hart-yesterday was probably the biggest day of it's run.

So is David O'Russell with characters filled with anger management, inflated ego and daddy issues who are always quite an autobiographical self-centered projection onto liberal Hollywood stars making mental issues sexy, family dysfunction as comedy fodder, popular soundtrack to attempt some kind of faux "Joe Six-pack realism" to ground his characters in an era even if he certainly despises that music, displaying hysteria at every level to achieve an artificial "WTF?!" tone even when he tries to subdue that you can't brush away the fact he is so in love with himself like he's some kind of genius auteur that can film any story and put his unique stamp on it.
