Weekend Estimates (starting pg 50) July 19-21

[John Marston]

If it hasn't been posted anywhere yet, $505,000 FRI for Man of Steel.Total up to $283.686 m.

Another terrible hold but it's expected. The rapid screen loss is killing the holdovers

[fishstick]

So there is a 3rd movie because STID flopped?

 

It didn't flop but it didn't make more money (that its increased budget aimed for) either. And before anyone brings up slight OS jump, studios still make the most money from dom OW and while OS totals look good on paper, studios don't see much of it.

 

Also, Narnia had 3 or 4 sequels altogether, despite second movie's serious drop. So obviously, like in STiD case, merchandize saves the day not tickets sold.

RED 2 swiped $6.3M on Friday, and will debut with less than $20M this weekend. The original opened w/ $21M.

 

Lionsgate just killed a franchise by releasing it in the Summer.

Yeah. Probably finish around 290m now.

MOS could be the "closerto300M" WB movie just above HP7.1 (295.9M)

The studios still get at least 35% of international grosses, 45% for major films. Even using the lowest usual figure I'm sure Paramount didn't mind pocketing over $75 million from STID's overseas run.

Totally. Give credit where it's due here. Original SH. No 3D. Over $200 mio. And some call STiD a success.

STID was the best blockbuster of the summer.

Only $75 mio? Considering how huge jumps sequels to trully anticipated movies make, STiD is probably the lowest increasing over-budgeted sequel in recent memory.

STID was the best blockbuster of the summer.

 

In a summer where all blockbusters were meh to ugh, that's no a compliment. I also disagree. I can't even remember what I watched to be honest.

In Korea will open witn $6.5m(910.000 admissions)

Red opened with $1m...

That's because the first only did $128 million. STID was NOT a moneymaker, but it's percentage increase over the first film internationally was still decent.

Trevor alone makes IM3 >>>>>> STID

[Chewy]

I kinda cringe every time I read someone gush about STID

 

That's a movie that people are going to look back on in a couple years and wonder what they were thinking when they raved about it

 

It's sooooooo much worse than ST09

[John Marston]

STID was the best movie if the summer. I wish it didn't underperform

I personally feel that way about IM3...

It's my 2nd favorite this Summer.

I personally feel that way about IM3...

IM3 is not a bad movie but I completely disliked the 2nd half of the movie. It turned into a complete joke. Literally.

We know, you wouldn't shut up about it for weeks

[kitik]

STID was an extremely disappointing movie.
