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

[Olive]

DOFP will have some holiday boost on its second weekend in China, 100M is almost locked and could Challenge CA2($118M).

[Ent]

TASM2 seem to have held well outside china and that bodes well for rest of its run even with china run ending on friday(or did Olive report that Imax run will continue till EOT opens following week).

It will lose a lot of the last theaters counts on Wednesday with Maleficent taking its place after 6 whole weeks in theater.

Twister, The Mummy more like.

 

Twister opened on May 10th( 2nd weekend). But Mummy did open on May 7th and should qualify as 1st weekend release.

[fmpro]

No. It is having the last one session per day for the next 2 days in a lot of countries as Maleficent opens on Wednesday to take its last seats. Rememeberred, it has been out for 6 weeks, entering its 7th...Most movies stayed 4 weeks in theaters. It won't gross more than $10 millions now...and that's the absolute best scenario.

LolSo you're saying that it wont cross 500 mill??Lol lol lol( sorry)

[keysersoze123]

Good stuff. Didn't know that about Jaws and Star Wars.

 

Spielberg said that in one of the interviews. Its on youtube.

[ecstasy]

LMAO at Captain America being the movie to beat this year. The first movie made $370m total worldwide. Let that sink in.

[Warhorse]

the only truly great HP movie I love is the first one.

I love the third one the best. It was so well done! The atmosphere was out of this world, and the Dementors were actually scary. The side characters, like Lupin and Black were also awesome.

[zackzack]

It is a conspiracy !!!

I meant Twister moving the start of summer earlier than before, not necessarily the first weekend.

[keysersoze123]

What markets? UK maybe? I don't know.

 

I dont know. China probably grossed less than half of 26M this week. That is why I said it held well and should add another 15M outside china.

[wileECoyote]

THE LEGO MOVIE and CA: TWS benefited a lot from their release dates.

 

So April is the new May huh?

Overseas,TASM2 will come close and maybe cross it but won't add much more than $10M from now on..

Its a sequel to a movie that made 1.5B...

[Warhorse]

I don't think Maleficent is gonna all that well. Snow White numbers at best. West will also underperform, IMO.

Angelina Jolie is in the lead, she's a way more popular actress than Charlize Theron.

Bullshit!

[Jay Beezy]

Could X-Men have had a better OW if it had kicked off the summer instead of TASM2, instead of MD weekend where the market was oversaturated?

[John Marston]

releasing in April is only good if Easter falls during the month. Otherwise there is no point

[#ED]

95M OW proves that April is the new May? I'm confused. I don't see anymore Marvel movies scheduled to open in April. Let's not forget Cap 2 got an April release date because May was completely taken.
