baumer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Regardless of whether or not her name is used for advertising for her films (and sometimes it is), Wilde shouldn’t be getting offers from major directors, given her box office track record. I think nepotism definitely played a part in her career. lol...I doubt it. She's hot. She fills the hot quotient. Name 3 actresses that are draws. The rest are window dressing.

baumer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sorry, but how can you think this is a good opening for Meatballs? It had zero growth. And sequels are always a bit more frontloaded so this will probably miss 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 You should unlock my WWW thread WWW would mean if it opened to about 20. And having a WWW thread after 3 days isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sorry, but how can you think this is a good opening for Meatballs? It had zero growth. And sequels are always a bit more frontloaded so this will probably miss 120. At least the budget was quite a bit smaller than the first one. Usually it's the other way around with sequels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna argue since it's ultimately the mods decision, but the biggest WWW thread opened after one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Quite disappointing for Cloudy 2, but I wouldn't call it a fail. It's 4 years since the last one, maybe a little bit too long, it got a better saturday jump than the first one, so i' not sure, if it's going to be frontloaded. Could still do $125m or more, as it has no competition at all in the coming weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Cloudy 2 is such a failure... it only increased 2M from the original's OW adjusted, and has a good chance of being below the original unadjusted... It's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 In fact I have only seen one film from Sony this year, which was White House Down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Every studio goes through bad times. WB and Fox have had quite a bit. And of course Universal in 1998. Oh and then after Battle: LA Sony had no number one film till Underworld 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
