So... What are people realistically thinking Godzilla grosses DOM? $235M or so?

 

Yeah, I figure right around there. 235-245.

[kitik]

Estimates were pretty much spot on this weekend.

 

yeah, I was just going to say that, the studios nailed it this weekend

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 took in $16.80M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $172.17M. #TheAmazingSpiderMan2

 

 

16.80, exactly like they estimated

@BillSimmons: Million Dollar Arm got a CinemaScore of A-minus from audiences leaving the movie on Friday... Godzilla got a B-plus. MORAL VICTORY.

Except Universal.

The marketing needed more quotes from Bill Simmons like Lone Survivor did. That's what it was missing

Can TASM2 drop almost 60% this weekend?  DOFP has good reviews so far, is tracking for 120m and its targeting pretty much the same audience.

over the 3-day it can.

 

edit:

tasm1 dropped 68% against tdkr. some things that will mitigate that:

- memorial day weekend

- tdkr was 175m opener and an event film

- tasm2 will be weekend 4 as opposed to weekend 3 so some more stability is likely.

- tasm1's pre-tdkr weekend had competition from ice age's 46m. tasm2 has faced godzilla and neighbors so it's already tempered down a bit.

- maybe the tragedy had an effect on tasm1's weekend, a percent point or two.

but 60% drop is defn possible.

One of my friends is absolutely trashing Godzilla on Facebook. Telling everyone to save their time and money.

 

Is it really that boring / bad?

baumer and a small minority would agree.

 

 

The rest of us, led by Ancient Cinema Connoisseur Emeritus Tele, disagree.

I said yesterday that some of the Godzilla rants I've seen online are better than the movie.

To be fair. The people that love it really love it. The people that hate it really hate it.

pretty much like that other monster movie, which too destroyed half the metropolis

hmmm.

The complaint was that the first hour and a half was all talking. And then when the action finally started, it "sucked".

the human drama whenever the monsters aren't on screen is pretty dull.  The lead actor was also one of the most bland and emotionless that I have seen

he has the same expression in this scene and when talking to director on the sets.

 

maybe he showing edwards his acting chops.

I think the human part divides opinions, but the last 20min of the movie?

How can anyone not love that...
