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

Rank the Singer X-Men and Nolan Batman films.

I like both, singers Xmen movies have a lot more character development and usually end up being more emotionally engaging whereas Nolan Batman movies substitutes that for a sometimes brilliant script and grit.

[Godzilla]

Because STID held up better over the week

He said it's performing like STiD, that's all. And I disagreed with him. I don't see the controversy.

I'm sorry, but I could give more useful information than Nikki sometimes.

[BobbyJohn]

hm these numbers... i can just see the headlines on november 23rd now: "the hunger games mockingjay part 1 burns past 160m for the first 100-million-dollar opening weekend of the year"

 

aka dofp <100m 3-day

There's still T4 which has been the best candidate for 100 OW anyway

 

 

I'm sorry, but I could give more useful information than Nikki sometimes.

I think he meant the actual #s this weekend, not the percentages

[Godzilla]

I actually have seen X-Men: DOFP and I found it to be an incredible movie and I am glad that the movie will cross $100M in 3 days, and it might actually do $140M for the memorial wknd.

[MovieMan89]

60% drop for Godzilla eh? Yep, the general public must love it.

Oh, lol. I'm sorry for the confusion then.

[Mulder]

How bad of a drop is this for Godzilla?

[GiantCALBears]

It's a harsh drop. A fact

But expected given saturation, competition.

[Claire of Themyscira]

Omfg.

 

Y'all being way too fucking extra and inconsistent.

 

I came prepared.

[Claire of Themyscira]

But expected given saturation, competition.

Maybe frontloadedness too.

Not a disaster but not good either. Doesn't have much to do with WOM but with direct same-demo competition from X-men opening IMO.

To talk shit about a movie no one thought would get $90m+? It could gross $20m this weekend and still easily be a success based on that OW.

I've said nothing but good things about DOFP...I haven't even mentioned how awesome Quicksilver was. Awesome!

So meh then? Ah well. How is the final gross looking at this point?

[Mulder]

Oh BTW DoFP needed more Sentinels.

[alisson23]

Great for X-men! 100M+ 3-Day

The difference in opinion on that character (from myself and seemingly the general public) from the Empire Magazine cover ... to the actual film is mind blowing.  Shocking.

It does have to do with WOM too, since if people were loving it it would have a good hold regardless of competition. 60% isn't good under any scenario.
