baumer Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why is Boxofficemojo doing a "showdown" with Inception and PR? Fanboy directors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think if it would have opened closer to WWZ, people would have been happy. It's the budget, the summer release and the man in teh director's chair that had people thinking it would be huge. A WWZ opening would have been fantastic. Personally I was thinking 45-50M opening weekend with a finish around 140M-145M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why is Boxofficemojo doing a "showdown" with Inception and PR? Both are original films, same studio, and almost same weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why is Boxofficemojo doing a "showdown" with Inception and PR? Warner Bros Mid July big budget original sci-fi movie from directors every movie forum loves. There. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Fanboy directors? Nolan is mainstream. The GA loves him. I think it is because Inception and Pacific Rim are both original sci-fi action movies released during the Summer in July by WB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think people were expecting it to be a hit because Del Toro was directing it (a critical success yes, but not a box office hit). Like I said what really doomed Pacific Rim (IMO) was that Warner Brothers wasn’t on very good terms with Legendary Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Fanboy directors? Yeah but there's no way there going to match up in anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hurm. Wake me up if it drops more than 20% tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If Pacific Rim follows Prometheus from here out it will end with 94.5M. That is the low end imo. If it follows Inception from here out it will end with 162.0M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hurm. Wake me up if it drops more than 20% tomorrow. If IMAX is doing good numbers, I'd expect 15 -20% drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If IMAX is doing good numbers, I'd expect 15 -20% drop.It increased 4% less than GU2, no? With IMAX stabilizing weekday holds, that makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Inception dropped 47% on its first Monday. The showdown ended 2 days ago. BOM seriously should just stop it. Edited July 17, 2013 by #ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hurm. Wake me up if it drops more than 20% tomorrow. If it drops 20% today with IMAX still doing well, then it is in trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Lone Ranger might still end up above Pacific Rim after all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Lone Ranger might still end up above Pacific Rim after all... Yeah that ain't happening. I will empty my bank account and give it all to Pacific Rim to avoid that from happening. Pacific Rim will definitely make more than 11M on its second weekend. It actually has a shot (slim shot) to make 11M on its third weekend. Either way though, Pacific Rim will be more of a success than Lone Ranger.

Hiccup Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) So Despicable Me 2 is at 240.9M as of Tuesday. How high this is going? Is 350M out of the question? Edited July 17, 2013 by Hiccup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm very curious how Jupiter Ascending will perform next July now. Like PR it's a high concept sci-fi fantasy with 'fanboy directors' behind it. Unlike PR the cast has actual stars (Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis) and WB is paying for more than 25% of the budget. The Wachowskis are overdue for a hit but it's opening in a tight spot. Marketing better be pretty fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think legs from here out takes it past 350. 375 if it doesn't get hit too hard in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucker Punch Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yea but 400 WW is going to be way bigger than GU2 WW, and that was the point he was making. GU2 WW topping PR WW would be hilarious and abominable at the same time.Considering the investments that went into each movie, though, financial and otherwise, it should be little consolation if PR ends up over GU2.. Also, Sandler is not a strong draw OS. Not that modernized creature features are, as turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
