Weekend #s on Pg 34. Divergent 56M. Muppets 16.5M. Peabody 11.7M, 302 8.6M, Gods not dead 8.5M

[Ozymandias]

Yeah, it is a little more complicated than that, though.  It is completely socially acceptable for girls to wear the color blue or play high school sports, but it is socially questionable if boys wear the color pink or like to shop for clothes at the mall.  It is not males or females fault of this generation for this thinking - it is ingrained sexism from patriarchy over tens of thousands of years of human cities/civilization.  Guys are totally fine with watching two women kiss, because that does not threaten male patriarchy.  But guys often have a problem with watching two men kissing, or the idea of same-sex marriage, because that does threaten male patriarchy.

 

Guys have no problem watching two women kissing because its fucking sexy.

Watch out for dat 2nd week end drop for Divergent, it could get ugly, or not.

The WOM will be decent it seems so a 60% drop is happening, or less ?

[forg]

What Tumblr thought me though is that girls love men kissing men as much guys like girls kissing girls

[Guy Cohen]

Muppets will have much stronger legs than Divergent IMO. Divergent will die a quick death when Noah and Cap arrive. Muppets has nothing to worry about until Rio in 3 weeks.

[forg]

I'm really hoping Muppets Most Wanted will have better legs this time, not expecting for 100M but hopefully 60M-80M. Anyone knows what the budget is?

[kayumanggi]

After a string of flops so far this year, they finally found a hit

 

Have you seen this Forg? The reviews have gone better, it still a rotten though. Should I see it?

Maybe in the middle of nowhere Kansas, Illinois, or Minnesota, it is. But, in my generation and younger and in cities like Vancouver and really any other large western-civilised city in the world, we're all so fucking metrosexualised that it doesn't really matter.

You don't think he's attractive?

Yup, I liked it. There are dragging parts though but overall it is solid.  I give 7/10

I think you will like it

Ironically enough, I just googled around and in the 1920s American companies were pushing the exact reverse: pink was the appropriate color for boys and blue was for girls. It wasn't until the Boomers were born after WWII that it switched to what we're familiar with now. (Prior to the 1900s or so both sexes basically just wore white.)

Slightly higher than the first one which I remember was around 45M. Still hoping for the best. I do really want to see another Muppets movie...... or a TV special or show.

[Dark Jedi Master 007]

As long as a film's good, it doesn't matter if it was intended for girls or boys. 

[Durden]

Sources tell BoxOffice that Divergent could be looking at around $25 million for Friday based on matinee and early evening business. From there, the adaptation will likely be looking at a $55-57 million weekend.

 

Muppets Most Wanted is off to a healthy start, as well. Sources tell BoxOffice that the sequel is on pace to bring in $6.5 million today, giving it a shot at $22+ million for the weekend.

22M is OK for Muppets, hoping it keeps or improves.

[Shawn Robbins]

Barring some quasi-miraculous bump from the west coast later tonight, looks like I dropped the ball on Divergent. Sorry, folks.

Not sure this guy wore pink at any time in his life though.

That is 2 weekends in a row, Sean.  It might be time to shave all of that facial hair.
