Weekend #s Insidious 2 41.5M, Family 14.5 Riddick 7.0 Butler 5.5

I am still waiting for another Fallout game.

15M is a good to average number for Insidious 2. That puts it right on target for something in the low 30's, which is what a lot of people were expecting. Certainly not disappointing.

 

It only has a $5m budget so its already made back its budget and in profit from its opening day, I imagine Wan, Wilson and Byrne are on very good backend deals plus salary increases as the first film was made for $1.5m. Wan's biggest budget before he did Fast 7 was $20m for The Conjuring, how he's going to fare with a $160-170m budget will be interesting.

The Purge made 49.1% of its OW on OD, and The Conjuring 40.4%I think this one definitely is going to be more in The Purge zone or even higher, considering is Friday 13th. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Wow, just figured out James Wan is doing Fast 7. :pI might have to see it now.

[mcclaine]

$30M should be locked unless WOM kills it.

NES games use to cost 70 bucks. Well VHS tapes were A LOT also.

Werent VHS tapes $80?

Back in my day, we gamed without graphics! Suck on that, bitches!Shaving: sometimes the old way is the best way. Double-sided safety razor for the win, with brush-n-shaving cream tub to prep the whiskers. Screw all this 5-blades bullshit with crappy razors.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Only 15m od, there goes 30m ow.

[kayumanggi]

15 M is a good number. I don't expect this to be leggy though. Anyone has seen this? Thoughts.

[kayumanggi]

30 M more than doubles the opening of the first.

[lab276]

15m would be pretty incredible. It's probably not going to go that high though.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

As a sequel, with insane hypes, on Friday 13th, doing much less than Conjuring is disappointing. But no regret since it is a rotten on RT, bad reviewed.

[MovieMan89]

Eh, 15m OD is just ok for the genre. Might not crack 30 for the weekend. God the box office is boring this time of year. Can we just put this forum into stasis sleep until Gravity hits?

You're becoming a parody of yourself at this point, man.

 

Pretty damn good number, it should do right around what I predicted (32 mill). Yay.

I'm holding out for the introduction of 7 blade tech.

I got back from it a few hours ago, and I liked it. I was surprised. I wanted to see You're Next, but I didn't have to pay. It was good though. I don't get the reviews. Sigh.

 

How is 15m bad for this though? Or disappointing? 

 

The first only made 54m. 

 

Ugh, people sometimes.

Given how Sony have been successful with animated films in September with HT, Cloudy and Open Season, its surprising no one else has tried trying out other genres in that month. Sweet Home Alabama was successful so it wouldn't harm a studio to release a romcom in that month, I imagine Universal would done at least $20m OW had they released About Time in this month rather wait until November. 

 

About Time will be shown here in the Philippines next week. I saw an advanced screening and it's a nice feel good movie. I think it will be a crowd pleaser

[forg]

Also saw We're The Millers last night (will open here next week as well) and it was very funny! Great chemistry from the cast! Lucky Kenny lol No wonder it did really well there

[Krissykins]

Remember the Friday the 13th aspect was the centre of the marketing. So I expect a bigger than usual Saturday drop off.I think it'll do $29m.But hey, it out grossed the originals OW in one day. Huge success. Even if I have no interest in seeing it.

[baumer]

I dry shave bitches.  Yes, that's right.  Watch Predator.  I'm Mack.  Except I'm white and haven't gotten my head blown off by an alien predator....yet.
