Lordmandeep Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Not sure about the rest of America, but in Canada ASM2 will see a sizeable increase on Saturday from Friday day business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I can't wait to see a true forum meltdown. I don't know if it will be better if it happens because of a film a bunch of people love underperforms or a film a bunch of people hate overperforms. (If HTTYD2 throws under expectations, I'll be sure to freak out for at least a few posts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Unless GotG bombs I can't foresee a massive meltdown anytime soon. X-Men's the definition of consistent and Godzilla will do fine if expectations are kept in check. Edited May 3, 2014 by Hatebox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Stop the excuses people. We still couldve went berserk. Even AFTER we found out the CF number was wrong, we STILL kept going ham. That was legendary and yesterday was supposed to follow suit. Spider-flop or no Spider-flop, we shouldve brought our gif games. Oh wellz. Maybe the early early Godzilla estimates will come in at $15M or something then the forum will have my permission to explode.

Mulder Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Expectations are definitely not being kept in check. Yeah and that's the biggest issue there. If it opens in the 70-75 range I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 BoxOfficeMojo had it at 9. it's at #10 now(335k) but close to A haunted house (#11 - 321k) so might get pushed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Dented it "a bit," but at the same time it literally faced nothing in its first two weeks. The movie had the market to itself and still dropped like a rock. dropping 61% after breaking OW record and 50% in the second weekend it's not "dropping like a rock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I don't think "consistent" means what you think it does. They've made 128 movies so far, so my definition seems to be the same as the stuido's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Continuously declining box office grosses? Apparently they're still profitable, was my point. But let's cut to the chase - what are you predicting for DofP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Almost happened with TF3... However it just ended up being very very backloaded. Shoot most people in other forms loved Transformerd 3 ...Its my 2nd favorite of the series and...Its way better than ASM2.. Look at the numbers. It almost made 400m domestic and is the third movie coming off the semi letdown of Part 2 and TRFRM 3 made 1.1bil!!. Hah hah , there is no back loading with this.. This is a flop!.... When you spend 430-450+ mil on one film and you cant even beat the horrible reboot of your first attempt, theres no other way to spin it. Alreading some are predicting a 84-90M OW... Ouch(Spiderman loses to Cap lo domestically imminent and Godzilla is going to stomp on this pos , and xmen will dagger its heart!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 It had the weakest competition for its first two weeks of any big opener that I've seen. That was plenty of time for it to rack up a ton of money and the thing collapsed like a cheap tent despite no competition. SM1 dealt with some pretty steep competition and held up like a champ by comparison. lol, it is a consensus that SM3 had too much competition, way more than any blockbuster ever faced at the time. SM competition OW adjusted week2: 6.1 (Deuces Wild + Hollywood Ending)week3: 31.5 (Unfaithful + The New Guy)week4: 121.36 (AOTC + About a Boy)week5: 72.2 (Insomnia + Spirit + Enough) SM2 competition OW adjusted (this one opened in summer, a lot big movies can co-exist) week2: 45.89 (Anchorman + King Arthur)week3: 84.30 (I Robot, A Cinderella Story)week4: 88.63 (Bourn2 + Catwoman)week5: 97.71 (Village + Manchurian Candidate + Harold 1) SM3 competition OW adjusted week2: 23.12 (28 Weeks + Gerogia Rule + Delta Force)week3: 140.72 (Shrek 3)week4: 132.74 (POTC3 148m 4-day)week5: 48.64 (Knocked Up + Mr. Brooks + Gracie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
