Weekend Estimates: Gravity - 55.5M; CWACM - $21.5M ;RR - 7.6M;

Out of the world number. doubled my expectation. movie of the year.

 

250M is locked. WIth Oscar bump, 300m is happening.

The last time we had this calendar was 2002, on that weekend, Red Dragon opened, it's broadly comparable to Gravity. It dropped 41% on Sunday and 72% on Monday.http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&view=chart&id=reddragon.htm

Not so well received thriller vs 3D/IMAX adult geared movie with great WOM.

A Lesson to Hollywood: Make a good movie and people will come to watch it.It feels kind of obvious to say that, but Hollywood still isn't listening.

 

I disagree with this 100%.  There are many good films that get lost in the shuffle.  This had a fantastic trailer and it looks unlike any other film out there.  Quality imo has very little to do with how a film opens.

[tawasal]

Very true. Gravity is the best 3D I've ever seen. One of the few I can say I enjoyed.

 

For the record I only saw it in regular 3D, I'm not sure if Switzerland even has an iMAX screen

 

Hopefully it's still playing in iMAX when I get home in November. Doubtful though.

It's definitely better than this shitty place.

I did say broadly comparable.

[tawasal]

Even if it does drop 40% and not 35%, it's only about a million dollars. It would still get the record.

I don't even know yet what it made today. 

 

is it 17-23-15

 

Thanksgiving

 

 

How did I miss that. 

[Chewy]

Holy crap 

 

Love that number

I think it depends on each persons taste, because there are movies that i believe are awesome and great and still make very little and I feel people don't understand it.

no biggie.

yes, you had one of the very bad predictions for it.  

[Chewy]

yes, you had one of the very bad predictions for it.  

 

Ha, that tends to be the case

[baumer]

Ha, that tends to be the case

 

Just keep in mind, I've earned the right to criticize anyone's bad predictions because no matter how bad a prediction someone makes it will never be as bad as my Hangover under Very Bad Things adjusted prediction.

And didn't you also predict TDK to make under or little above 200m? I also failed miserably at predicting the hunger games and it's part of life having a hit and a miss. 

[CoolioD1]

I mean, technically the estimate is 55.6m but whatever.

 

And I made my own cider today! Tastes pretty good and I'm already a little tipsy from it.

[tawasal]

I was in a group called THG under POP.

"Meanwhile, Sony’s week-early sneak of “Captain Phillips” saw enthusiastic responses, according to the studio, with 75% capacity at approximately 800 locations. Many markets were sell-outs including New York’s Lincoln Square, but also places like Plano, Texas, Minneapolis and Vancouver"

Sony’s Saturday night sneak previews for “Captain Phillips” suggest the piracy drama is going to be a box office hit — and skew older.
