Thursday numbers (page 2) and Bad GrandPa - 1,4 mln MIDNIGHT

[ecstasy]

I actually know quite a few people who saw BP last night. Not surprised if it hits 30+

 

 

Yeah. I agree. I meant to say maybe more.

I want to laugh and The Counselor numbers so I am just siting here waiting for Friday numbers.

 

Does anyone know how much Jackass 3D did at midnights?

2.5m apparently

It is going to be a hit. And I am not happy about that, since I despise the Jackass films as being an example of everything that is wrong with movies nowdays.

That's where you're wrong. It's movies that you think are similar to Jackass that try to be something they're not, and give you that negative perception. Jackass isn't trying to be the next Star Wars; it's just dumb fun and the people who make the movies are fully aware of it.

THR is comparing Bad Grandpa's midnights with the ones This is The End (2.2M) and We're The Millers (1.7M) had, cos they are targeted to similar audiences.I don't know if that apply or not, but if it is, then Paramount is right expecting just low 20's and not 30+ as rival studios.Any thoughts?

I see Bad Grandpa having bigger legs than the other Jackass movies. This one is supposedly pretty tame compared to those.

Not a good comparison at all. Those films were released in the summer. Jackass was released when School is in session so midnight numbers tend to smaller.

I don't think being tame or not has anything to do with legs.

 

The fans show up once, and they don't tend to show up again.

With tamer I mean its more appealing to non-Jackass fans.

You are right, but not only midnights are smaller because of the season, opening weekends are smaller too. I was wondering about the comparison about other films being the same target.

How many people do you think care about Thursday numbers?

I don't know, I haven't seen it, but from the looks of it, I wouldn't think so.

[TLK]

Yes or no is Gravity gonna pass 200 this weekend?

Yes . Around $201 million after this weekend.

Is Bad Grandpa going to win BP?

 

I see Bad Grandpa doing better than these midnight numbers suggest; I think it'll have great walkup business.

Can somebody please explain to me why kids movies have such a big jump on Thursdays?

[The Futurist]

Based on early Friday numbers, the R-rated film is pacing to open in the $10 million range, a major disappointment considering Scott's pedigree and stars Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt.
