Weekend #s April 4-6 (Cap2: 96.2, Noah 17, Divergent 13)

[MrPink]

50% fall for Divergent after falling 53% last weekend. I thought it would recover more. Twilight was -50.5% in weekend 3 and HG was -43.4%.

 

Hunger Games nor Twilight faced 95 million opener in its third weekend though.

Divergent is doing a very important thing for YA adaptations. It is proving that a middle ground exists between the HP, Twilight and THG mega blockbusters and the Vampire Academy, Beautiful Creatures, Mortal Instruments flops. A mid-level hit which recoups its money and then some basically.

atm for Sat CATWS going with 34.3-36

Sounds good. I hope it'll hit the high end. Thanks Rth

It didn't have to try to "be the dark knight". It had to try to be a well done Captain America/Steve Rogers movie. For me, it absolutely succeeded. The broader themes of freedom and preemptive strikes were used to define who Steve Rogers is and his importance to the twenty-first century, IMO. It didn't need to go any deeper than that in regards to the poltical issues to make it a great film experience.

 

I know there's a need to compare every CBM to TDK or The Avengers, but Marvel's doing something different, I think. 

 

I'm right there with you.

34-36m

Much better than Nikki's number

Captain America no doubt hurt a bit. It should have good holds all the way to the end of April.

Not Nikki! 

Leave the poor soul alone.

She'll give her numbers in a few.

Then we'll get her

Thought that was Deadline's number. I don't pay attention to them at all anymore.

Team Tele/Jack/Jay or Team Everyone else. Now.

Is there a middle ground between two teams? I need a second viewing, but after the first time, I would say I'm in the no man's land atm.

Yeesh, near 65% 2nd weekend drop for Noah if those deadline sat numbers hold. Shame people can't be more open to creative liberty with a well known story.

Yeah, those nums are from one Anita Busch.

[ecstasy]

and she was right yesterday while you guys were all saying 45 million

 

She said 35m. THR got it right. And everybody wasn't saying 45m. That was Shawn's number, lol.

[boomboom234]

It didn't get that it was trying to be anything like TDK at all. 

The 

surveillance and freedom vs security issues were things covered in the dark knight plus the themes and feels of the movies were similar at least to me.

That's pretty broad though. It felt more like Bourne to me.
