The Panda Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah, you are right. Don't want that bet anymore. No, the Identical is opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 No, the Identical is opening. Exactly, nothing is opening. Unless you think that film has a chance to open to more than 9 mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Baumer just won 100 points.Possibly, it's a potential 40m opener coming off a dead box office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Possibly, it's a potential 40m opener coming off a dead box officeNo, not really. As popular as The Maze Runner is, September is still a really dry and bland month, box-office wise. Sure it may be the only big blockbuster this month but that won't be enough. It certainly has the potential to do around $25-30 million OW but I still see no way that it can reach $40 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Insidious 2 and Hotel Transylvania did it, it's becoming more common place. A sequel and a kids movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A sequel and a kids movie.So why not a well-marketed, big budget movie based on a popular novel?Not saying it will happen but I wouldn't call it impossible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A sequel to a very well received horror movie that was released on Friday the 13th (big part of the marketing campaign) and did half of the OW in that day and a kids movie. My point is, yes, Baumer is correct, those were 2 very different cases from The Maze Runner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
