Official Weekend Estimates: Maleficent - 70M, X-Men - 32.6M, A Million Ways - 17.1M, Godzilla - 12.2M

[#ED]

Enough with the confusion and uncertainty. Scarface is on...

Yo entiendo.

I definitely don't blame the messenger, but you know how this stuff works as well as anyone. I wouldn't report anything coming from the studio propaganda puppets on Friday afternoon. A lot of them are probably just trying to make their bosses happy before they go home Friday evening.

 

This is how stuff like Iron Man 2's opening letdown happens. $128m is a great opening, but it looked like a disaster after Paramount's stooges were telling anyone and everyone who would listen on Friday that it would possibly set a new weekend record at $160m.

 

 

That was truly ugly and this pales in comparison, of course.

[eXtacy]

It deserves the best memorial weekend hold, its a fantastic movie. I cannot be happy with any less than 40m now due to these big projections.

[CoolioD1]

I like this spatula guy.

I can think of one guy who doesn't

 

[grim22]

Don't blame the messenger, guys. It's rather hypocritical to criticize BoxOffice for reporting what we're told, and then look past the even higher incorrect projections that others actually make based on the real data in front of them.

 

And by the way, that happened last week. With X-Men. And it wasn't BoxOffice.

 

Everyone is just having a bit of fun here. Always good to remember that early Friday estimates are almost never accurate - from any site. Everyone here just needs to have some fun sometimes (as evidenced by the DeHaan love that happened on Wednesday).

[John Marston]

Its just as good. Thats why!!!

 

 

but Cap 2 has more family appeal clearly and an even weaker Thursday to jump from. It makes no sense

We haven't seen the numbers yet...this one could be pretty damn bad. If it goes $35m from a $50m projection...

[Shawn Robbins]

Oh Shawn. I admit we can get out of hand a bit. But I think Nikki, Deadline and Variety all get their share of grief as well. But we should show a little more restraint since Bo.com IS our host site, lol.

 

It's fine as a singular joke, but the jokes escalate to a point where facts get skewed. Nikki, Deadline, and Variety do the same thing we do, so I kinda defend them as well.

 

After all, reporting info that's being handed down is a far better option than just making shit up. I'm sure everyone here would agree on that much.

Maleficent is falling behind fast, maybe we should tamp expectations down into the 60s.

Behind Alice?It's ahead of Oz. And last update was slightly below Oz. If anything it still puts it on track for 70m+
