StarSaber Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 PR projections Tue 4.4M Wed 3.3M (-25%) Thu 3.1M (-7%) Fri 4.6M (+50%) Sat 5.6M (+20%) Sun 4.5M (-20%) 14.7M 66.8M after 10 days Being conservative I doubt it drops that much Wednesday. IMAX softened the increase on Tuesday. It'll soften Wednesdays drop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yet still just 120M, way less than its 160m dom ... Considering how domestic comedies do abroad generally speaking, that isn't viewed as "just" $120M. That's a big foreign gross and its likely Grown Ups 2 can increase considering how brand-names do overseas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliadiere29 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) I doubt it drops that much Wednesday. IMAX softened the increase on Tuesday. It'll soften Wednesdays drop too. I did see it at 3.8m on Wednesday, 3.6m on Thursday and about a 16m to 17m weekend myself. But who knows.

Tower Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Grown Ups is the highest grossing Sandler comedy overseas... Just Go With It made a little more, but none of Sandlers films have been very successful OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right American comedy can make much more OS, like Ted or The Hangovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) It's just sad that people are more forgiving crap for everyone but Del Toro when he actually does a typical summer popcorn blockbuster with its typical flaws (dull lead actor, the pacing, muddy environments that can blurry the sight) and strengths (over the top action, set pieces, iconic robots/monsters) GA don't bother to give a shit even if Del Toro tries his hardest to catter to them crafting an enjoyable piece of action entertainment. Despite being below his best works, it doesn't deserve that much disinterest not being worse than any past summer blockbusters hits.(Yeah I'm looking at you DMC and TF2) Edited July 17, 2013 by dashrendar44 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Thank God we OS people dont dig stupid comedies like GU2.... I'd join you here, but I come from the OS part where people do like Sandler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feud between Legendary Pictures and Warner Brothers did no favors for the film (and I expect it to affect Seventh Son and Gozilla as well). .

Ezen Baklattan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It’s not really Del Toro’s fault though. The feud between Legendary Pictures and Warner Brothers did no favors for the film. It's similar to what doomed Rise Of The Guardians last November. Also, some people use the word 'lock' way to casually. PR isn't set for >$100m, nor is Grown Ups 2 < $120m. (I will admit that the latter is very likely, though.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terrific Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 For the people disappointed in PR's numbers, what "should" it be making? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Not a given. Opened solid in SK and Russia, yes. Likely to be big in China and should do fine in Japan.Everywhere else #s are meh at best; UK OW is $3.3m, that's below AE opening.Reaching $400 WW could be a bumpy ride. Yea but 400 WW is going to be way bigger than GU2 WW, and that was the point he was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Grown Ups 2 will make over $150m with good legs..... IMO, there is no way it makes more than 140. Legs, imo, will be much shorter this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR isn't set for >$100m, nor is Grown Ups 2 < $120m. (I will admit that the latter is very likely, though.) Why exactly was Rise of the Guardians doomed because of the studio?

baumer Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Plus it'll get great legs, because it's an amazing movie. Just ask the GA. The GA is relegated to a bunch of loonies this time around. There are only so many PR loonies to go around. Legs, imo, will be average for a summer film, 2.8-3 maybe. I personally don't see more than 120 mill.

#ED Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Why is Boxofficemojo doing a "showdown" with Inception and PR? 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 For the people disappointed in PR's numbers, what "should" it be making? 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.
