Gideon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Four of the biggest disappointments this summer were all non-sequels. If anything you will see more sequels I wish we could see both! New properties rising with success. Sequels made with tight care and fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The non sequel performance is troubling, no doubt about it. From a quality and then reception problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The Conjuring? Red 2?I recommend The Conjuring. It's a pretty well-made horror movie IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I wish we could see both! New properties rising with success. Sequels made with tight care and fun. Well, if the studio is investing $250 million + in an original property and it isn't even making $200 million worldwide then they are less likely to greenlight expensive original properties. My thinking is that the studios need to go back to mid-budget original movies. You rarely see $60-80 million movies anymore. It is either shoestring budget movies or big $130 million+ tentpole wannabes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickvD Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That is fucking terrible for Turbo. It's going to sell less tickets than Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron..... Did Fox dump this film? Something's off here. Either way, Dreamworks stock is going to plummet on monday. They better fast track another Shrek and hurry up with 'Dreamworksland'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 DespicableMe2 won't be first for the 3rd weekend in a row...right? The Conjuring. I think it will get over 30M. Even if DM2 dropped only 40%, that's about 25M, I think The Conjuring will do better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 2013, the year of flops. 2015 will be worse. You have so many big movies set to be released. They will all cannibalize each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I actually would be very surprised, if RIPD wouldn't trail Scott Pilgrim. That's an absolute fanboy movie, of course it was much stronger in matinees and it had a horrible saturday drop. RIPD won't have that big of a drop. Strange comparison.
