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

[Walt Disney]

if anyone predicted anything like that, i haven't seen it. from what i remember most people had very little faith in the film, and in Singer, when it was announced. of course with the hype come the ever changing goal posts, and suddenly a film is a failure for not achieving a goal no-one even thought possible before.

 

I would have to read through the threads to see the exact numbers, but I remember predictions around there. I'd consider a $270M prediction to be around there though, while you might say $270M is quite a bit lower than between $289-$290M.

This thread has been a Godzilla vs DOFP since this morning and it's getting boring.

 

Right? Where's the respect for Maleficent?

 

Btw what time is your showing?

[Claire of Themyscira]

OMG... you're still Giffing....I just don't care, I really want to, but I just don't care about your irrelevant self. Be irrelevant somewhere else.Thank you. Now sit yourself down

And you still talking.

 

Bitch, stop riding on my relevantness to get you noticed and liked.

 

If I'm irrelevant, you're nonexistent.

 

You should know that by now I'll probably never stop giffing.

It is kinda funny how a good chunk of this board was arguing Maleficent wouldn't hit 60m OW, and now that it's headed for an Oz sized OW everyone is acting like it's expected now.

YEAH! Show them hell Claire!

POTC 3?! 

 

The entire original POTC trilogy is pretty good IMO; has more personality than most blockbusters even though they could spend more time in the editing room

[Blankments]

Since when was Pirates 3 considered good?

I've always liked it more than 2 and 4. It's a bit overlong but it always manages to be exciting, something DMC and OST can't say

[Blankments]

Dude you think POTC 3 is good.I must know why

POTC3 is the best of the May 2007 movies

Right?! It's always like this with the non-typical BOF fave genres. No respect!

[bballman24]

You're still cleverly dodging my question though Tele. You argued the multi is just the nature of the genre, yet 2 of the 3 recent creature feature films had fairly strong multis. If Coverfield was widely agreed to have poor WOM and Godzilla is getting roughly the same multi, then what does that say? At best it says Godzilla's WOM was mixed. At best.

No one is saying WOM is better than mixed. It's definitely mixed and possibly worse.

It isn't getting the reception I had hoped, but with the total near 200m/500m, it certainly reached its core audience, and tiny bit more outside it.

I still think it's just too damning to judge on a film's performance based on the legs, especially due to the nature of the film.

This is why I see DFOP as expected and not too bad. It's following the projection based on X-men series. Apocalypse will tell the future of the Xmen series than DFOP.

if you say so, from what i remember most of the high predictions were more recent, after people got caught up in the hype.

 

anyway for something a bit different, here's a bunch of top 5 lists by a ton of actors. most of them have better taste than I thought. except Eli Roth. his was about as bad as I expected.

[Mattrek]

Wow this thread, just wow. Claire and AJG going at it plus Tele vs. the world on if Godzilla had bad WOM. For the past 5 pages, jeez guys let it go already.
