Audiences must be chocolate-wasted, as Sandler's GROWN UPS 2 topped the box office on Friday with $16+M.

We can assume that:

a)Sandler will never dress as a woman for a movie;

b)Sandler will never do another R comedy.

 

Two good things, since the first is crap and the 2nd is the worst comedy I have ever seen.

The weekend is up for grabs as GU2, DM2 and PR all grossed between $14M-$16M on Friday.

[druv10]

Great for GU2. Mid to high 40's opening for it. Bravo to Shawn, Mattrek and Baumer, they were right.

Nothing good about this weekend

 

This weekend is bigger than the same weekend last year.

Ouch.... pathetic number for PR.

 

Even with a big Saturday increase, it can only reach 40m...

 

So unless it somehow gets a 4x multiplier and reaches 150m, it's a flop.

 

So..... bring on the crow!

#PacificRim opens to $14.6M FRI heading to about $38M wknd. Good A- CinemaScore. $11k+ avg, solid for original pic.

 

LOL, Gitesh is in serious denial mode.

Just divide those by 3.

[grey ghost]

Purely opinion, but I don't expect a very strong multiplier overall. If it grosses under $40M, I definitely expect under $100M domestic. Lone Ranger and Pacific are going to be in a heated race to see who wins DOM.

 

More like a special Olympics race for highest DOM.

I love the paralympic games. So inspirational and amazing.

Don't get me wrong, 14.6 is disappointing. When I first heard 14.5 from Nikki yesterday, I kind of went numb. But as the night progressed and things just got a lot worse with 13.5/12.5s being the numbers. With the estimate now at 14.6, I'm actually kind of happy, for just the reason of it being much better than earlier. 40m is potentially possible. Likely? I don't know but definitely on the table again. If it can get there, or almost at least, I don't think that is too bad all things considered.

[Cochofles]

I knew PacifcRim  would be a  Serenity/Snakes on a Plane kind of thing; online frenzy, real world indifference.  The relatively good Cinemscore is fanboyish love. We all know this is the kind of film that will attract rabid genre fans, and they will inflate the CS. I expect a less than 100 million finish domestically. On the other hand, GU2's strong start is not shocking. GU had very good WOM and a surprisingly strong run.

[druv10]

Crappy number for MOS. It's going to have a hard time making to 300M.

Don't worry it will get there. WB will make sure of it.

Congrats to heat for hitting 100M. 140M shouldn't be too much of a problem.
