Weekend #'s April 18-20 Cap2: 26.2 Rio 22.5 Heaven 21.5 Trans 11.1 pg32

[All about Eve - old]

Bit late to the discussion but my observations on the ' is Leo a draw' :I know you guys were talking about north America mostly but I want to throw this in the mix:Some years ago I travelled across South Asia, including up to the remotest villages of north PAkistan, bordering Afghanistan. The shops there were adorned with posters including of: Rambo, Terminator, Michael Jackson from the Thriller video..... And Leonardo Di Caprio as Jack Dawson.In the private homes I visited, young girls had Titanic posters on their walls. It wasn't acceptable for them to lust after many men but 'Jack' was fine because everyone, from the youngsters to toothless granny wept when he died at the end of Titanic, which they watched over and over on their VCR.I haven't returned to this region since but I've been to other countries where there isn't a big cinema culture but there is a huge DVD industry. People watch all the latest films in the privacy of their homes. Even now when people see a clip of a new Leo film they recognise Jack.Unlike RDJ or Depp who are recognised as their costumed characters, Leo is recognised by his face. I'm sure his face on a DVD cover makes people pick it up because they want to see his latest film.With Stallone and Arnold pretty much finished and Cruise waning, I can't think which other actor's face alone (without a famous costume) would draw in a global audience.Angelina is insanely popular in many of these countries and that has helped Brad Pitt but i still think Leo is king of the world.

Sabotage is already under The Nut Job? Holy shit

[BadAtGender]

Pretty much everything so far was estimated high. Non-Stop was slightly low, and Sabotage was $18 high.

Yikes

[eXtacy]

Epic bomb

 

TRANSCENDENCE opened with $10.89M this weekend.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Caps and Rio actuals show filter in soon... I assume Caps actuals drop it below $26M. It's been overestimated its first two weekends. So, you gotta figure it'll happen again.

[eXtacy]

RIO 2 took in $22.16M this weekend.

 

Yeah everything has been overestimated

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER took in $25.59M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $200.50M. #CaptainAmerica2

[Caladbolg]

Glad it stayed above $200m. People said I was asking too much when I said it could do it  earlier last week.

So 20m dom is not a lock then.

We have a 'Transcendence under 20m' ow thread, and that seemed a big much a couple of months back. 

Just amazing.

[ChD]

10.9 for Transcendence!  Haha!

 

It's a surprise it didn't drop in the millions from the actuals.
