Thinking about it, wouldn't it be terrible if no summer film crossed 250 mil?

Godzilla, Maleficent, HTTYD2, Transformers 4, Amazing Spider-Man 2, DOFP, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and even Guardians of the Galaxy have words to mince   all of those have the potential to cross $250 million (half of those would need stellar WOM though) 

 

I think there'll be 3-4 that pass the mark while there'll be a lot of films in the $120-160 million range

Surely Alice in Wonderland is a sequel lol. Isn't a sequel to the 50's animated film?

non-stop was great liam neeson is great  , the villain reasons were bleh but who cares this was liam's show 

that scene were he

caught the gun in mid-air and him and the bad guy played out a classic western duel

ON A PLANE !!!! cheers in the theatre 

 

my problem with it is that when i saw the trailer on youtube in the comments someone posted a spoiler and said it was the stewardess from downton abbey and i believed them grrrrrrr so the entire movie i looked at her with suspicion

I guess even our Lord and savior are no match for Liam Neeson's particular set of skills

Monuments Men is doing well despite the poor reviews. Don't poor reviews affect films that target older?

[DAR]

Honestly there's not much out there that probably appeals to an older audience

My parents liked it. Maybe WOM between adults is good?

The reviews are saying it's okay... not terrible, just meh. It'll manage to coast to $75-80 million total simply due to no competition.

Oh, Gravity passed 270 million this weekend:

 

5 Gravity $875,000 3% 340 -8 $2,574 $270,464,531 22 Warner Bros.

 

I wonder if it could see another bump next weekend. Argo saw a 15% bump and Life of Pi jumped 48%.
