Wknd Est: DM2 - 44.7M ; GU2 - 42.5M; PR - 38.3M; Heat - 14M; TLR - 11.1M; MU - 10.6M (PG 100)

Not a great jump for DM2 tbqh.

 

I said before the legs won't be great after seeing it. Not really a terrible number though. 43 M - 46 M for the weekend.

Respect to all the PR followers who have accepted they were wrong, instead of acting like their comments after the midnights were non existant, like a Miami or Bama bandwagon fan. See, I wasnt trolling, I was just keeping expectations to normal. Still wished PR hit $40M, I wished all 3 could. Looks like this dull July is coming early.

[MovieMan89]

Super 8 was pound for pound the best comparison brought up for PR. Not perfect by any means, but still a decent one.

[PDC1987]

This just makes it harder for Godzilla. If that film isn't exceptional and doesn't have expectational marketing it's fucked.

[Dragon]

But the Heat is not a frontloaded movie. The fact that PR did nearly 30% of its Friday gross from midnights shows it clearly is.

i guess

[Fancyarcher]

Disney said that John Carter flopping made them lose 200M...

 

I don't believe that it'll happen to Pacific Rim.

 

I pray for Del Toro. It's not his fault this movie failed.

[kayumanggi]

Seeing PACIFIC RIM tomorrow.

Tracking may miss, but it never lies.

You don't like DM2, kayu?

They funded a portion of the budget for PR as well, and they treated it like crap.

Similar situation to RoTG, Paramounts last film with Dreamworks, the marketing was atrocious. the advantage that Godzilla has over PR is that its a known title which may help sell it to a general audience,

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Adam Sandler is so damn lucky.

[kowhite]

i guess

The Heat cost 150m less than Pacific Rim. They can make the exact same amount of box office, doesn't mean what's good for one is good for the other.

And a much more talented cast.

Assuming that 190m budget is true...John Carter cost a lot more money than Pac Rim.

[PDC1987]

Adam Sandler is so damn lucky.

And he'll never realize it. At least not as long as they keep throwing $25 million at him to make steaming pile of shit after steaming pile of shit.

Maybe studios should just stick to endless superhero movies, or GU3, Hangover 4 or things like that.

[kayumanggi]

You don't like DM2, kayu?

 

Not really I didn't like. I just enjoyed the first more. The minions were still hilarious though.

[Fancyarcher]

And a much more talented cast.

 

None of which are "bankable stars".

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I think PR got more talented cast than Godzilla (2014).

[Jonwo]

And a much more talented cast.

True, the cast of Godzilla is great and the director Gareth Edwards is top notch as well.
