Three or four day? 

3-day I believe

3-day I believe

 

 

Considering their past predictions that's actually somewhat decent.

I'm hearing it's the most "Mature" comic book movie in since TDK Trilogy.  I thought "Cap 2" was very mature also.

Wow. I knew he was on a downward trend, but I still figured he could do about $30 over a 4 day weekend.I am so glad to be wrong!

The reason Blended flopped (didn't think it would this badly though) wasn't because of Adam Sandler it was because the movie looked boring and unfunny. I'm a big Sandler fan and I wouldn't touch either this or his other recent flop Jack and Jill with a ten foot pole. Sandler is king for comedies, but when the movie doesn't look funny no one shows up. This has nothing to do with star power and everything to do with a bad movie.

Agreed. I feel like this will play to a slightly older crowd than the MCU (excluding Iron Man) and Spidey. But, really, the power of Jackman and Lawrence could balance things out if both age brackets show up.

Their real power = their naked bodies?

Amy Kaufman. She works for the LA Times.

 

Ok I know who that is. She was somewhere else before that. Can't recall off the top of my head and I don't feel like looking it up. She doesn't have any numbers though, lol.

X-Men's midnight number was lower than other 2014 blockbusters, but higher than Fast and Furious 6 ($6.5M) which also opened on Memorial Day weekend (in 2013). This means it can go either way and make more than F&F6 on opening day ($38.7M) or less than other 2014 blockbusters ($35.2-38.4M). Since this seems a bit contradictory, I think it will once again (and for a fourth time in the last 2 months) end up between $35-40M. This means it is unlikely to earn more than $100M on its 3-day opening weekend (Fri-to-Sun), but it will end up quite close and probably surpass Captain America 2's current 2014 record (F&F6 made $97.4M last year).

Cap 2 is mature.

Again, those other films had 7 and 8PM showings which this did not.

Just got out of DOFP. That was awesome, retconned bad stuff, kept the good and delivered an awesome movie.

Looks like DoFP's ow will be higher than it's current RT score (92). Blended is touch and go (13)

Good

"Blended" Numbers thus far is General Audiences putting their foot down on the last 5 years of Bad Rom Coms.

Reporting this early usually means those numbers will probably be lower once estimates come in.

Are we laughing at the prospect of X-MEN opening to 38-40M OD, if so, I agree.. It's not gonna happen folks..

 

And you know this....how?

[Blankments]

Hoping DOFP does huge numbers; after all, after Marvel kicked Wright off his movie, I clearly want Fox and Sony to decimate Marvel Studios into oblivion

What's the difference between 8pm or 10pm? Either way, it was only the very keen fanboys who went on Thursday night. Other people don't even know because the advertised release date is May 23 or theywon't go until the weekend arrives.

Most of his movies look boring and unfunny to me, yet they always seem to make money.

 

If you don't think this and his last few flops are doing nothing to diminish his star power, you're crazy.
