Weekend estimates | Veronica mars- 2M (down 39% on Sat), 300 2-19.1M,LEGO (7.71M), non-stop (10.6M)

6M is terrible. TERRIBLE.

 

What number did you expect?

[John Marston]

What number did you expect?

From a 1.1m preview number that would be ridiculous front loading. I expect the number to go up

[mcclaine]

I don't think we should put the threshold so high for Divergent. 60M+ should be consider huge.

 

Last year, none of the four wannabe franchises met their expectations at the box office. Some of them really doing it shamefully.

Go Veronica Go.  If you're a fan of the series I just don't see how you could possibly be disappointed with the film. So.  Much.  Fun.

Yeah because even if it wasn't banned, they'd still pirate everything.

The prices (for movies, softwares, games, discs, etc) are always ridiculously high that heavy piracy is unavoidable ...

Rooting for Mr. Peabody and Sherman to top the weekend

[Kalderic]

Nikki Finke ‏@NikkiFinke  now

Friday Box Office: #2 '300: Rise Of An Empire' (WB - 3490 runs) $5.9M heading to #2 and strong $20M second weekend with $79.2M cume.

 

 

I think Cinemascore is being proven to be completely wrong by now. Movies with B cinemascores are having the same legs or better than movies with A. And not even mentioning the C that WOWS got.

[Kalderic]

Anything is really icing on the cake for VM, but I hope it can cross 2M!

[DeeCee]

That's over my increased expectations for VM.

I'm kinda glad to see NFS bombing if only to teach Aaron Paul to be more selective and not choose shitty movies to do. He's too talented to be wasting his time like that.

Guy is a car enthusiast. He probably enjoyed making the movie

So animated Dreamworks beat live action Dreamworks. Peabody and Sherman had a good drop, I think it will break $100m, I don't think there will be a sequel but I wouldn't rule out a TV series on Netflix. The OS gross seems a bit poor for a DWA film but I guess its had to compete with Lego.
