Don't know why Ride Along is doing so well, the trailers looked terrible and its getting bad reviews 

 

People laughed liked hell at the trailer in theaters.

Ryan: $5.43m

 

Ouchie.

 

Wow.  That's simply horrible.  I guess Chris Pine and Kevin Costner are no Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman.

Speaking of Frank, a movie called Frank just premiered at Sundance. It features Michael Fassbender.. wearing an oversized paper mache head through the whole movie.

Sounds like the kind of movie that will have some people waxing poetic about later on.

Not to be a braggart dick but I predicted 30+ for Lone Survivor and 40+ for Ride Along, so if anyone has Patriots/49ers this weekend, you're in luck!

 

Seriously though, can people FINALLY stop underestimating movies appealing predominately to African-American audiences now? I can't wait till Think Like A Man 2 inexplicably gets predictions under 35 million, and everyone calls it a "shock" when it does 40+

[Fancyarcher]

It dropped a full 3M from your numbers. How is that even possible in single digits ? I understand it in 40M drops to 36M or something like that. Nights shows were shit, I assume.

 

The Nut Job will be forgotten in two weeks.

Closer to Taylor Kitsch and Val Kilmer.

 

Maybe those 2 will star in the next (straight to DVD) JR movie.

Thanks for putting the numbers on page one.

 

It makes them very easy to find.

Jack Ryan was marketed horribly. Wtf was Paramount doing?

They fucked up what should have been a fine reboot and a first movie in a new Jack Ryan franchise. Because they are dumb fucks.

1 Ride Along $39,500,000 -- 2,663 -- $14,833 $39,500,000 1 Universa

 

What an impressive OW for RA. I'm just stunned at that PTA, it has legitimate shot at 20K for 4-day weekend.

Jack Ryan was marketed horribly. Wtf was Paramount doing?

 

It was marketed pretty well after the holidays. They just had bad timing with Lone Survivor breaking out one week before.

[CJohn]

Ride Along looks hilarious. And I am not black.

[baumer]

Wolf: $2.02m

 

Wow, the difference in numbers between and Wolf and Hustle was miniscule during the week, now Hustle gets 10 noms and it has a way better Friday bump.  The Oscar bump is alive and well.
