Fake Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sunday drop may become better, but Sunday number in itself could drop if Saturday number drops.Either way we will know tomorrow. Too much time shouldn't be spend over $0.1M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much time shouldn't be spend over $0.1M. True but I want it gain as much on New Moon as possible. Edited December 5, 2011 by druv10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcalcagn Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Wait wait wait how'd Hugo end up costing around $150M?? That's ridiculous; and un-Scorcese like he usually never gets that out of proportion with his budgets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It's just frustrating that a seemingly good film like the Muppets is being left behind. That's where my frustration comes in. Because after years of giving us films that pissed on Jim Henson, finally one comes along and honors him and his genius the right way. And I wouldn't mind the Twilight films so much if they were oh what's the word I'm looking for, oh yeah good. And I'm not some snob either. I love the Transformers films. Heck I love just about every Michael Bay film I like most of Adam Sandler's films. Heck I even came around on Green Lantern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Another quiet weekend. BD1 held better than expected, The Muppets held worse and everything else seems close to expectations. For me there is one bright spot, I'm still watching The Help vs. Bridesmaids neck and neck battle that I've been watching since TH opened with nearly identical numbers and it now appears all but certain TH will edge past BM sometime next weekend. TH did an estimated $165,000 this weekend which puts it less than $107,000 behind BM. Current totals: BM- $169,106,725 TH- $169,000,000 They are both in my top 5 for 2011 but I've really been pulling for TH as I'm a big Emma Stone fan.

I agree Muppets should be having better drops but it could be just a down year for kids movies period. Now if Alvin makes substancially less than the last one than for sure its not the movies but the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 No it's not.What is this based on? Your opinion or something else. Fact is BD1 satisfied its fanbase while GL did not. Green Lantern is much more known than THOR,CA, and IM yet it made substancially less than them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevil18 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Haven't seen BD1...since I've been away, my bf hasn't been able to drag me out to see it - but he will soon - but it needs to be pretty damn horrible to be worse than GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca85 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Twilight fans have very low expectations... they will eat any crap given to them.Since the majority of Twilight fans are women, are you quite sure that we're so easily pleased? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Twilight fans have very low expectations... they will eat any crap given to them.Or, and I know this is a shock to you, we just want what's in the book. That is hardly any crap given to us. I want a movie that is close to what the book says and the films deliver that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 No.. Just no.. THOR, CA, and IM have been around as long as GREEN LANTERN have, but moviegoers simply prefer MARVEL'S Characters over DC in this case..Fact is GL had similar OW to Thor, CA but made substancially less than them. Meaning people gave it go but movie was crap and results show it. I do prefer Marvel over DC but facts are the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight fans have very low expectations... they will eat any crap given to them.This is one reason why I am rooting for BD1 against DH1. Potter fans with almighty atititudes even though none of their movies are classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
