Mojoguy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 @BoxOfficeTheory Sources tell @BoxOffice that MONUMENTS MEN could earn around $7.5-8 million today. VAMPIRE ACADEMY looking at $2 million. 2/7/14, 3:20 PM That's... actually pretty good. Yeah, I was expecting VAMPIRE ACADEMY to make 1M on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 And I just watched Prisoners again. It's a stronger film than I give it credit for. It's just great. I reeeeeeally wish someone else had played the Hugh Jackman part though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think Shawn has let expectations get out of control here with his 23-25 remark. Anything above 15 is a win for the movie, no one expected it to do anywhere near as much for the entire OW when it was announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 2 million for VA wow i wonder if its front loaded by book fans I think the first Twilight movie might have made more than that in its first hour in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted February 7, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I think Shawn has let expectations get out of control here with his 23-25 remark. Anything above 15 is a win for the movie, no one expected it to do anywhere near as much for the entire OW when it was announced. I said it was speculation, nothing else. $20 million isn't even guaranteed yet. Edited February 7, 2014 by ShawnMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just to clarify, that was PURE speculation. I have no evidence indicating $23-25m. You said it, so it turns speculation into reality. Remember when Jack Ryan was supposed to open with 8.5M OD? Also, good for MM. Hopefully it gets those 20M over the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenedictL11 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 To freak Shawn out further Shawn Robbins @BoxOfficeTheory 1m Sources tell @BoxOffice that MONUMENTS MEN could earn around $7.5-8 million today. VAMPIRE ACADEMY looking at $2 million. The vampire craze continues to fade out ever since the end of the Twilight series. I'm not suprised VA flopped given the poor advertising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think Shawn has let expectations get out of control here with his 23-25 remark. The dude can't speculate? It's been feeling like a $20M+ Friday since Rallax's update around 4:30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I ve read reviews saying the movie is almost more enjoyable for adults than kids because of the wit of the humor, the satire, subtext & pop culutural references. Is that true ? Maybe the movie it too witty for its own good. Edited February 7, 2014 by The Futurist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I saw Monuments Men today in a half full theater at 1pm. That's pretty huge for any film. I have no idea what anyone thought of it as no one said anything when they left the theater. As for me, it's one of the slowest, most boring films I've ever seen. It's not funny, it's not interesting, there's no chemistry with any of the actors and overall it's a bit better than I, Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Was the vampire craze even a thing? Pretty much all non-Twilight vampire movies flopped I think the vampire craze was more of a TV thing. Twilight really helped boosted True Blood's ratings starting in its second season, and The Vampire Dairies show was only created because of the popularity of Twilight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted February 7, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Was the vampire craze even a thing? Pretty much all non-Twilight vampire movies flopped I guess the vampire craze was more of a broad pop culture thing than movies specifically. True Blood in particular, plus all of those CW shows...

chuck0 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Was the vampire craze even a thing? Pretty much all non-Twilight vampire movies flopped it kicked off all the vamipre themed tv shows like True Blood, Vampire Diaries and in a way also the US version of Being Human... but yea on the big screen that success wasnt repeated.
