Sun#s pg 230...Wknd Est: DOFP: 91M, Godzilla - 31.4M, Blended - 14.2M , NB - 13.9M [NO SPOILERS]

[a2k]

How does a film make 37m on Friday and only 100m for a 4-Day Memorial Day weekend? Is there some Gigantor drop in there she's not including? Oh wait it's Nikki math.

 

she predicted 100m before the weekend. she is not going to budge till tuesday. 

 

edit: or she just plugged in x3's drops. that gives you 100-101m.

Stop making movies Sandler, hasn't had a good one in 10+ years.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

so a 90 something million opening. The curse continues

[Dementeleus]

BLENDED's budget is only $40m. It'll be fine.

This is the fucking price for what he did to PR last summer with his shit movie

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

She could've just fucking retweeted Gitesh? lol

But still, with 37m Fri, no way it's 100m 4-day.

 

 

 

 

I'll take Rth over Gitesh any day.

The same way $100m 4 day can be seen by her as "over-performing" when it's what her source (coughFOXcough) predicted earlier this week.

 

 

Attempt at Nikki Math: 37 /27/ 20 /16 = 100

X2 is on AMC...that Mansion raid scene with Wolverine going Berserker Mode is still so badass...

Attack on white house has always been my favorite scene in the series, and now Quicksilver scene tied it for me.

Pretty much. RTH is the only reason I believe in a god :wub: :wub:

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

I like the scene, it was just a tad too silly for me to put it over one of my favorite scenes in any film ever.

45M, actually.

I really hope that's not the case, but it'll be really funny (in a really crappy way) if it is

[Mango]

X-Men is doing a $100 million 3-day, unless these Friday estimates are way high.

[The Panda]

I'm still praying RTH's Godzilla estimate goes upwards.

I waited years to see Nightcrawler on a big screen so that adds a lot to it, but I still think it's a fantastic opening for sure.

After that scene, I knew I was in for a great ride.

[TalismanRing]

Although I think 80% of the film sucks giant MUTO balls, I hate it when simpletons use boxoffice numbers to trash or praise a film. 

 

Like... "Haha! Godzilla is dropping hard because its a shitty movie!" or,  "Transformers movies are great because the GA(lolz) loves them!" Um, really? Bad movies make mountains of cash all the time and its not that uncommon for great ones to under-perform or even flop.

 

And I honestly hope Godzilla ends up with a big total so the sequel won't be hamstrung by any budget concerns because I think it can be really great.

 

I thought the MUTOs were awesome - scarier than Godzilla.  The monsters were not the problem - the monsters were cool.  It was the humans who failed to be interesting when the monsters were off screen.  If the connective story was more interesting then the wait between monster smack downs wouldn't seem so long.

37M now?Doesn't help NYC is having terrible rain yet again this weekend. Yuck.

Yeah, I say second act is the reason why it is dividing people's opinions. I really wanted to see Serizawa more in action. If it had better characters, then second act could've bridged the fantastic first and third acts together IMO.

My bestie and I wanna do something together and watch a movie, but the bitch doesn't wanna see DOFP or Godzilla.

 

[Mulder]

I think I'm doing good at predicting my top 3. Cap: TWS, Godzilla, and X-Men: DoFP were my three most hyped for movies this year and I loved all three. Interstellar's the dark horse.
