Fast 6 Showdown

 

Fast & Furious 6 continues it's battle on whether it can reach 30m.  At this point it still appears it can be passed, but it's going to be a tough battle.  Fast 6 is beginning to lose touch (only slight at the moment) with Shrek 3 and Potter 3 which both opened on the same weekend in their respective years. However both of those films made it past 33m.  Our target here is 30m which still appears likely.  As it stands, Fast 6 is leading Fast 5 by nearly 2m now and continues to earn more on weekends.  As a bonus, Fast 6 also has the June holiday boost ahead of it while Fast 5 took a tumble in the coming weeks.  Fast 5 made nearly 4m from here on out, which Fast 6 should easily surpasse given the above facts... I think Fast 6 could make a further 6 to 7m from this point on putting it at or around the 30m.

Baz Luhrmann Showdown

 

The Great Gatsby is continuing is great run at the moment down a reasonable 33% and appears to be now on track to pass the elusive 30m mark.  Like many of his films before this Baz has produced films which are more titanic (on a smaller level of note) than like a standard blockbuster. His previous film opened in late November to only 6.4m which appeared a little disappointing at the given the high hopes but it went to make nearly 38m at the box office including an amazing run through the Christmas period where all but stayed flat for 3 weeks straight.  This is where Gatsby is expected to lose touch with Australia as the coming holidays are not expected to keep the film flat though they will help the film in keep the drops down lower than currently.  I expect this will be enough for the film to pass 30m and possibly make around 33m at it's current trajectory.  A slightly better comparison now is Moulin Rouge which had a similar release date though it's weekly holds through the first 3 weeks were very different, Gatsby has been able to retain a 5m lead over the rouge and it now appears that this lead should be able to hold in the coming weeks also agreeing with a final total in the early 30's.

I am legend is not considered a straight zombie film. In fact the 'zombies' are considered more like vampires in some ways. Funnily enough using BOM as a guide WWZ, is #2 right now.

I had every intention of doing just that, but why? Is the 3D that bad?

Yes, it doesn't need it for starters, doesn't add anything to it and some of the scenes are so fars its blured, My second viewing I'm intending to see in 2D. also expect to be ear blusted it is very loud. One of the screenings yesterday last 20mins speakers blew

That doesn't sound like a very pleasant experience visual- and aural-wise  :lol:
