[shayhiri]

Of course.

 

150m OS is the floor. 200m - almost a given. 300m - also probable.

Which to be far isn’t it target audience (more like six or seven year olds).

Most kids’ movies still have jumps on Saturday (Monsters University had a jump on Saturday, which is rare by Pixar standards), Planes making less on Saturday than Friday isn’t the most promising of signs.

MU dropped on its first Saturday.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Disagree, it's one of the better recent mid-August weekends.

Still, something's not right when the lowest drop is over 40%. This summer has not been kind to holdovers, especially this weekend.

WorldWarZ opened #1 this wknd in BradPitt-loving Japan sending intl cume past $300M & global past half-billion to $503M.

So PR lost to WWZ in Japan. Ouch.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Fancyarcher]

Of course.

Elysium isn't likely going to make 300 million worldwide though.

 

150 million overseas is likely though, which is standard for Sci Fi wasteland movies.

Four openers.

I just wanted to say Tweets from Tweens.

Okay, guess Pixar movies still can’t have Saturday bumps despite quality.

 

Still made more than what predictions originally had it at based off Friday's number (70 million).

[Fancyarcher]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

4 openers, all over 20M (2 over 30M), and all over 3,000 theaters.

STID is in my top 3 this year and I quite enjoy Oblivion. And last year I loved Prometheus when most people hated it. Normally I'd go to see big budget sci-fi movies without a second though but somehow Elysium just looks dull to me.

 

 

LOL... That's true.. we have a different taste in men though.

And I can't criticise anyone's taste in movie. I lost that right when I enjoyed Transformers more than TDK.

havent seen Prometeus but the trailer looked beautiful

 

lol I dislike both TF & TDK (& every Nolan movie except 4 Prestige so my taste basically sucks I guess    )

lmao what men do u like??

[FilmBuff]

Conjuring continues its impressive run.

[Leyla]

its an amazing movie (esp 4 those who hate zombies) & deserves every penny
