I haven't seen a Sandler film in theaters since Big Daddy.

 

Have less than zero interest in anything he's done in the last 10 years ... too bad as I really enjoyed his earlier films.

 

 

I take that back ... I did check out Funny People due to the Apatow thing ... and Click for Kate Beckinsale. (of course, just on hbo when I was bored)

No, because I have a feeling, that fanboy movies are generally stronger there. Comic movies are most of the time, aren't they?

 

I honestly have no idea.  I was just fooling about.

I just didn't see anything below 20M after that 3.6M.I competey forgot WWZ's preview/midnight was fucked because of the NBA Final Game.

So you are saying it would have to increase by about 50% on Saturday to hit 40 mill.  And the Sunday drops are not nearly that big in the summer.

So in terms of OW powers, Cruise still equals dozens of giant Kaijus and Jeagers, at least.

Man, original sci-fi is dying a slow death this year (Oblivion, After Earth, Pacific Rim).Elysium is the last hope.

And it looks good, but anything more than D9, imo, isn't realistic.

I pray to the movie gods that Elysium and Gravity are great movies and then rewarded at the box office.

I was just going to say ... Elysium feels like something that's going to mix in with this current batch of sci fi (Oblivion, Pacific Rim) and do 35-45.  Any more than 45 is strictly on Matt Damon expanding the audience IMO, which is something I don't really see happening to a large degree outside Bourne.

Man I've been disappointed since these numbers...I expected alot more meltdowns.

I think there's room for it to break out.

[#ED]

Sci-Fi has been trash.

 

Nolan will revive it in 2014. No worries.

Pretty sure the Rimmers are still in the denial phase.

Outside of Bourne, Damon's movies don't tend to open higher than 20 million.

Are you implying that box office = quality?

If they’re great, they could still fail at the box office, unless the studio properly markets them.

Nolan will do both. No worries.
