zackzack Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The early evening showing of NYSM at my theater was about 95% full. People are just cramming into fewer theaters to see it. Maybe $125M is not out-of-reach after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) So THE HEAT is also in the running for the biggest non-sequel this summer? Is there a chance for PACIFIC RIM? Very doubtful. Besides World War Z has that title. Edited July 7, 2013 by filmnerdjamie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "none" situation of 2007 will be the last ever... Maybe this is because even animations are more frontloading in general than years before. Thus they get much bigger first two weekends.

Gideon Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 150 M for THE HEAT is possible. Oh yes! Really want to see that one. And Gravity is coming in the end of the year... If only SandraBullock could do again the one-two punch of 2009 (Proposal + Blindside) Not talking about oscars, just dollars. 2 150M movies in 1 year. Actress over 45. What a feat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Reboot =/= non-sequel?So your basically asking:reboot = sequelIf that's the case, no a reboot isn't a sequel, it's a non-sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 So the biggest non-sequel this Summer will be WWZ? No? Zombies & Brad * vs Jaegers & Charlie * = my choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 If there is no GU2, it could get close. The Heat could and should get a 4X, which gives it about 160 mill. WWZ will go north of 200 I think. So imo I don't think it would be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about the "3weekends movies"... A big feat followed by bad consequences, as we see it now.
