Jack Nevada Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The Way, Way Back and Fruitvale Station are also doing really well. Same cant be said for Before Midnight even though its highest grossing movie of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Despite the detrimental effect to box office, I'm very happy Smurfs bombed.It probably looks ironic, but I mean detrimental in the sense that August box office is going to be worse than I wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Mud is probably the biggest indie success this year so far. Edited August 3, 2013 by Jack Nevada 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 August looks really bland for me. Only film I am interested in seeing is We Are the Millers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's a pretty weak hold for Wolverine. With the onslaught if new releases coming its guaranteed to be the lowest grossing X men by a decent amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 3, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think Elysium has some breakout potential, but beyond that, this month looks like weak sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Based on BO.com's projections, the top 12 will be up only 9% on last year. That's still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm really impressed with DM2's holds at the moment. It was threatening to drop under DM a few weeks ago, but all of a sudden, it's holding better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 3, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 3, 2013 Supposed heavy handed nature of the film and strong violence I think has killed Elysiums breakout chances Maybe, maybe not. I'm not paying much attention to the reviews, just going on the marketing campaign alone. A film can breakout at the box office without actually being universally praised. I definitely think Elysium has some potential to open strong--especially with every other live "action" movie since late June disappointing on some level.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 3, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 3, 2013 DM didn't have much competition either, and it's still holding better. DM2 has a lot more competition than DM did, though. That's why it's taking longer to stabilize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 3, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 3, 2013 Sad part is that it still has Planes and, to a lesser extent, Percy Jackson to contend with. I doubt it gets severely affected by the latter, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
