filmscholar Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well it's looking like it will retain most of the audience from the 98 film so to me that's a good start for a new reboot which should give a sequel a lot of potential. But again the Friday # well tell a lot and the Saturday drop too as far as frontloadedness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) so wb has another non-sequel/non-cbm/non-ya that will be big at bo, on par with sequels/cbm/ya blind side('09), hangover('10), inception('10), gravity('13), lego('14), godzilla('14). i feel like they do it better than other studios. they have like 1 every year on avg.

Dementeleus Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I don't wanna see anyone saying they're disappointed if this "only" opens to 75-80m. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah i have never understood when people have a go at Pirates 4 over its gross, i mean yeah maybe it underperformed in the US but i doubt Disney were crying over a Billion worldwide. Of course they aren't crying over a billion worldwide. However, it's been 3 years and we are not anywhere closer to a fifth movie. That speaks volumes.

darkelf Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Really great number for Godzilla Not so good number for my summer game prediction Though I expect a bit of frontloading and an OW around $80M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 So baumer hated Godzilla? I was just thinking that is long overdue, he's been liking a lot of movies lately that it kinda scared me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I don't wanna see anyone saying they're disappointed if this "only" opens to 75-80m. wwz and pr's numbers might give some indication of how frontloaded godzilla could be WWARZ 3.6 / 66.4 (8PM+); PACRM 3.6 / 37.3 (thr late shows) (just comparing the multipliers, not plugging them in...else wwz would give gz 190m) an 8-9x for godzilla, giving 74-84m would be great.
