baumer Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Did it really? Cinemascore doesn't mean much it seems but it had an A-, it was decently to well received, and I'm talking about the GA, not the internet crowd. It being a reboot hurt it, but I'm eternally grateful that Sony did that, because me & a lot of others LOVE Webb, Andy & Emma's take on the material. If this one falls to about 220-235 in NA and stays even globally, then yes, there was apathy towards it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 So they are expecting a 40% boost today? +35% would take them close to 97m 35.5 + 36.18 + 25(-31%) = 96.68m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 If it follows average of TA/IM3:8.7M Previews26.8M Friday30.7M Saturday (+14.5%)23.2M Sunday (-24.4%)89.4M OW80.7M Fri-SunBUT, having 7PM previews would suggest a track that has a larger Saturday increase, so >+30% seems pretty reasonable, which puts it on the expected track for low-mid 90s..Agree with this. Earlier start times have tended to depress Friday and inflate Saturday. Won't be surprised with a >30% increase today TBH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Space Jam on VH1. 90's were a great time to be a kid. The 90's were my childhood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've just got back to a laptop but WTF was TASM2? That movie is fucking weird to say the least. A great scene followed by an appalling one for two and a half hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Agree with this. Earlier start times have tended to depress Friday and inflate Saturday. Won't be surprised with a >30% increase today TBH. Didn't Iron Man 3 and Avengers have 8pm Thur previews? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I would have agreed if the number was 35.02M, but 35.5 seems Puerto Rico more than fudging - will give Sony the benefit of the doubt on this.Given their shenanigans with SM3/TASM midnights, why would you? What they did there was more Orwellian and absurd than even Puerto Rico. Edited May 3, 2014 by Telemachos 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Didn't Iron Man 3 and Avengers have 8pm Thur previews? Avengers had midnights IIRC. The early previews became a thing after TDKR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Didn't Iron Man 3 and Avengers have 8pm Thur previews? Early previews didn't start until after the Aurora incident a couple months after Avengers came out, so TA1 had strictly midnight shows. IM3 did have Thursday shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) 35% is very optimistic. true. +31-32% sat & 30-31% sunday drop wouldn't surprise me though, for 35.5 + 35.25(+31.5%) + 24.5(-30.5%) = 95.25 94m at least looks legit.

Dementeleus Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hmmm, my prediction was 92.1. So you're telling me there's a chance! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more suspicious than you. I think it drops to about 92 mill. 95 is way too high imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm more suspicious than you. I think it drops to about 92 mill. 95 is way too high imo. I'm not sure why $95m is such a common projection here today. It's possible, but it's definitely on the high-end of outcomes at this point (based on comparison movies). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
