My twin bro, how could that suasage fest be R rated?

 

It has to PG because it has "Nuts" in the title. Open Road will get that family audience. And "Tyler Perry's..." will cater to the older audience.

 

PS: This is now 4 Beiber's in a row. We must be careful so the thread doesnt get Beiber fever. I'm not paying anyones doctor bills.

The freaking judge fined him something like $2500.

Gimme Shelter is that movie where Vanessa Hudgens plays a drug addict or something. All these former Disney stars are trying to move into roles that are "edgy", "provocative" and most of all "adult". Shia LaBeouf is about to play with poop in Nymphomaniac.

That kid is the biggest la douche disney ever produced.

Am I getting smart with you? 

[tawasal]

Frozen should be at 345m on sunday and DM2 is dead. 

[kitik]

which movie gets to 100M first: Lone Survivor or Wolf Of Wall St?

[Incarnadine]

Frozen should be at 345m on sunday and DM2 is dead. 

It's at 338.125 right now so it should be a bit over 338.8 going into the weekend. Even a conservative 8.2 has it at 347, and I personally think it will do 9.2-9.5.

This weekend usually sees movies drop around 40%-50%.

Such unnecessary hate is the reason the kid is so fucked up now. I watch those videos of him drunk at a bar and I see someone who's been fucked up by fame and the criticism it brought him.

He was born with this doucheness, I could see it from his Disney years.

For new releases, yes. Holdovers tend to be more muted.

Even them too, but Oscar movies do fine drops in this weekend. I think Frozen will see between 35% and 45% drop. 

[spizzer]

Great for Frozen. Do you think it's TC will go up next weekend as Disney is doing Sing-Along expansion?

 

It'd be nice if it gets back up to 3000.  Should land between 9-10M this weekend.

[BadAtGender]

I would be amazed if the drop is anything above 30%.

[tawasal]

I would be amazed if the drop is anything above 30%.

Why, it's a really good drop if it's between 30% and 40%. 

[BadAtGender]

Why, it's a really good drop if it's between 30% and 40%. 

 

Tangled dropped 22% in the post-MLK frame. Frozen's been holding better than Tangled.

[tawasal]

If you look at last year in the same weekend after the MLK holiday weekend, you will see that only oscar movies had under 30% drop.
