Slow expansion for The Spectacular Now... Letting word of mouth spread, I guess.

[samsha22]

2 Guns might end up at 75m i think....it had the potential to hit 100m..wasted opportunity.

[mahnamahna]

Despicable Me 2 made more money than estimated!   I'm betting it'll have miniscule drops for the rest of August and most of September since there's no kid/family competition

[Bond Bug]

Brad Pitt is set to get his first $200m movie.

[ALayrisson]

Under 30 for Elysium. Sony's summer of the bomb continues. 

[kitik]

Brad Pitt is set to get his first $200m movie.

 

 

It's gonna take a few weeks though.

[CJohn]

Go WWZ!

[Gopher]

Elysium's a bonafide disappointment. Damon and the director of District 9 should've been a compelling sell, but they never replicated D9's amazing viral campaign and after a year of dystopian sci-fi actioners (Oblivion, After Earth, Pacific Rim) the film couldn't stand out.

Brutal drops across the board. The 'best' drop from holdovers is still 41.6% and thats from a 350m grosser which had stablished itself at around 35% in the last two weeks. I think perhaps even 'family competition' is secondary compared to the massive loss of screens due to four 3000+ theatre releases.

dollar theaters

[ecstasy]

Wolverine budget is listed at 120m there. Thought it was 100m.

[#ED]

So MoS went into dollar theaters and possibly a re-run on IMAX Labor Day weekend?

It's Matt Damon's best opening weekend as a lead after the Bourne Ultimatum and the Bourne Supremacy.

It is having a mini-dollar theater run right now. It is still running in main theaters while also moving to some dollar theaters. Probably a few more dollar theaters this week, then it depends on how well Mortal Instruments does.

[AdamKendall]

MOS with a nice jump ... even with an IMAX expansion if Mortal Instruments bombs, I still don't see more than 292 at this point ... more likely 290-291.

 

Elysium ... ooh that is ugly considering I felt that it was a sure thing for 35 if not 40+ a month ago.

Lame weekend
