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

[grim22]

That Godzilla drop is brutal, and over MD weekend as well. Don't see a finish above 210M coming now, will be close between it and TASM2 in the end.

[kayumanggi]

36.5 C which feels like 43 C and then a thunderstorm. F*ck this weather.

[Deep Wang]

Saw VERTIGO in 70mm tonight. So I think I win the weekend.

Yes you did.

Better hit 220 million.

[grim22]

Godzilla will gross an estimated $11.8M from Saturday and is looking now more like $31M+ for the three-day and $39M+ for the four-day as it sinks into a percentage decline of maybe 68% in its second weekend out. International numbers will come in tomorrow morning for the lizard, too. And rounding out the Top Five right now is The Amazing Spider-Man 2, taking in another $3M for maybe a $7.5M three-day and a $9.6M four-day, bringing its total cume stateside to $186.8M. Also noteworthy is Chef which is moving slowly but surely up the ranks to maybe No. 8 now and a $4.5M four-day Memorial Day holiday meal.

DAT Godzilla drop

Imagine if it weren't Memorial Day weekend. It would have dropped over 70%  with those Fri and Sat numbers.

FURY ROAD

When GODZILLA hits Blu-Ray/DVD, It's gonna make alot $$$$$

Man of Steel made a shit ton of money on Blu Ray ... I'll expect your predictions for B v S to reflect that in 2 years

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Who cares at this point?? It's a hit and has a sequel greenlit..

 

 

So did Superman Returns...

 

[AdamKendall]

I'll bet Baumer predicts low for it since he claims sequels never increase over the 1st movie and I think this is going to be that RARE Instance when TA2 outdoes the 1st movie just by the storylone alone along with the returning cast and director and the same built in audience..

Well ... I wouldn't be shocked if it made a little less than The Avengers, but I certainly doubt people will be going much lower than 185.

 

If they are, the Summer Prediction game will be off to a bad start.

Who has been to the theaters this weekend?

 

Had to work. I'll be seeing both Godzilla and X-Men sometime this week.

[FTF]

I hope it gets bigger in the morning.

twss

[Biggestgeekever]

LolHaven't read through the last 20 or so pages yet, but I'm guessing people expected the weak MD Saturday to perform like a normal one.

[MovieMan89]

Godzilla is having worse holds and will have a way worse multi than the "toxicly recieved" '98. And yes I know movies weren't nearly as frontloaded back then, but still. I doubt '98 would have dropped any harsher than 70% its second weekend if it had been a modern film. I mean it doesn't get much harsher than that.

[Mulder]

It's technically 68% if Nikki's right.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

GODZILLA was a hell of alot better than SUPERMAN RETURNS..

 

Your opinion of course. I haven't seen it. I'm just saying studios announce sequels then back out all the time.

 

 

 

 

 

On a completely unrelated note, I just noticed SR is at 6.2 on IMDb. That's 0.1 lower than SM3. Now, I can stand SM3 but...

 

 

[Fancyarcher]

Why?? Why would I have a meltdonw when I can watch all of you have it over X-MEN underperforming???  

 

Its not underperforming dude. DOFP is doing fine.

[dxmatrixdt]

Imagine it is 2002 and you witnessed a historial year in box office and the rise of cgi.  The Mummy Returns, Pearl Harbor, Shrek, Hannibal, Planet of the Apes, Jurassic Park 3, Rush Hour 2 and American Pie 2 were all contributing to something special.  The year then ends with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.  2002 comes alone and Spider-man rewrites the box office.  Attack of the Clones then does 80/110 and struggles for 300.  that is it.  no more hope of Star Wars reinventing the cinema.  Star Wars forever just another number.  The box office is a cruel cold world and just be happy that DOFP is at least a good movie and not a ripoff.

[MovieMan89]

I wanted it to beat Godzilla's OW, but I knew it wouldn't blow it away or anything. Missing it by 3m is hardly a flop.
