Anyone think Noah could break out?It has an indie-turned-blockbuster director and impressive SFX like Gravity did.

What impressive effects?

You didn't see the trippy SFX in the trailer?

[Shawn Robbins]

Noah's got massive potential. Perfect release date.

[rockNrollaDIM]

And dat Emma Watson factor.

The only problem is Captain America 2 will cut legs. 

[grey ghost]

Men in Black, The Mask, 300, Sin City etc...

 

 

I was talking about more recent examples like Surrogates, RIPD, Priest, The Losers..

 

2 Guns and Oblivion did okay but those were fueled by major star power.

Not really

Maybe... I don't know, though. They're kinda going for different crowds. Noah will be adult-heavy, but Cap is going for the younger crowd. I think they can co-exist.

 You didn't really make that clear in your post no offense.

Cap is basically going for the general audience, not just the younger crowd (like all of Marvels movies).

I'm honestly surprised it's even making as much as "sub-15M".

 

They marketed the hell out of it. They're going to lose quite a bit of cash on this one.

[Shawn Robbins]

I'm definitely not saying Cap isn't for the general audience, but relative to the general audience Noah is going for, they don't have enough overlap for one to prevent the other from having a good run. Cap has the young audience to fall back on after opening weekend; Noah has the church crowds to fall back on.

How much does the name of the movie matter?

Assuming apart from the name everything else is the same, do you think:

a) I, Spiderman would make more/less/same as Spiderman

b ) I, Thor vs Thor

c) I, Captain America vs Captain Amercia

d) I, Superman vs Superman

e).....you know where this is going

 

Not that "Frankestien" would have had bigger/smaller bo by much..but I do think it matters at least a tiny bit, for good or bad.

Yeah, except Noah is being more audience friendly, considering it has a big budget and features better known actors than your average Christian film.

 

I think a lot of Christians will see it, but I also think some of the general audience will show up as well.

Wow! Potential for a massive second weekend drop for Ride Along.

[Fancyarcher]

Blazing Saddles is on AMC. Great stuff.

[Chewy]

Under 10M you say?

 

[a2k]

18m would be a 56.6% drop. I wouldn't call it massive. It's a big drop certainly, but massive would be a Cloverfield like 12m weeknd (-68% from 40m ow)
