Cameron Diaz has proven to be a significant draw when it comes to Romantic Comedies. She'll probably open Sex Tape too despite the competition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Cameron Diaz has proven to be a significant draw when it comes to Romantic Comedies. She'll probably open Sex Tape too despite the competition. Considering Tammy will bring in most of the female/comedy audience, I could see Sex Tape performing okay ($75-80 million), maybe skidding past $100 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Huge jumps for TOW and HIFR. Yeah. I think both are going to hold up quite well this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Huge jumps for TOW and HIFR. Yep. Good drop from last week for CATWS too. I wonder if Monday was down from where it should have been just slightly due to severe weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Agreed. TOW is perfect counter programming and is getting some good WOM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileECoyote Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 CATWS bump wasn't as high as the rest but hold from last week is very good. I think it can hold over 1M one more day.HifR and TOW looks to be having a nice run and they likely won't be hit so bad by TASM 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando918 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The last 13 movies that Cameron Diaz has starred in have a "Rotten" score on Rotten Tomatoes. 13 in a row, including TOW. Maybe studio executives believe that the way to make money off of her is to turn her into a female version of Adam Sandler from now on - I have no idea. That is where the money seems to be, though - so who knows. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/cameron_diaz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't pay to see a movie. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Where's the Star Wars Tuesday number? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando918 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Critics matter somewhat, especially with movie-going audiences over the age of 40 who do not show up on opening weekend. I have a hard time believing that movies like Hunger Games, Gravity, Frozen, The Dark Knight, Captain America 2, etc. would do as well as they did if they had a 25% approval rating on RT instead of a 90%. The most TOW is going to make is 70-80 million domestic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Critics matter for certain movies. Would Transcendence have bombed with rave reviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando918 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I guess there are a few exceptions with movies like Growns Ups or Transformers movies doing very well with terrible reviews, but as a general rule I think terrible reviews really hurt a movie's legs. Especially if it is "trying (i.e. faking)" to aim for an adult audience, like TOW. I will be shocked if TOW shows good legs with females over the age of 25 over the next 2 weekends. Good marketing can give it a strong opening 3 days, but it can't hide its true nature for long. Edited April 30, 2014 by Ando81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
