That was one of the most hilarious things EVER. 

Suarez is a constant source of WTF?! laughter. He has as much madness in him as talent. And he IS a great player.

I think this might be the Summer where since there is no clear front runner, every movie has fairly large openings (70-90m range) but massive drops because everyone moves onto the next thing the next weekend.

I think TF4 is the clear front-runner, with HTTYD right there near it.

That said...I wouldn't be surprised with a 90 million opening for both.

And you liked it.

You ain't no Austin though.

I can't believe people actually think Godzilla will do well in Japan, once they see it they are going to be pissed

I won't be surprised if HTTYD2 is the only tentpole this summer that manages to have good legs.

Next weekend people will move to The Fault in Our Stars and leave the awesome EoT to die. Fuck people.

I don't think it'll be gigantic but it will do well. China will give it big numbers.

It's gonna be a crowded period in China, but it should still do well.

it might have a good opening in Japan but the WOM there will be toxic. Japanese people won't be pleased that

their icon has a small cameo and you follow a bland, emotionless guy walking around for two hours primarily.

I don't think it'll be huge, but something around $30m seems a good target.

Any words on The Grand Seduction's Friday?

That's the only film anyone truly cares about this weekend

TF4 is going to suffer from TASM syndrome.

 

HTTYD2 has a distinct advantage in being the only real family entertainment for the Summer, a sequel to a very well-received movie, and the good reviews so far.

It also come out the same weekend as 22 Jump Street another anticipated sequel tracking for a 50+ opening weekend.

 

We could have another Hangover 2 / Kung Fu Panda 2 situation, only not as bad.

That's what happens when there is poor marketing for a movie, Tom Cruise being on a mediocre streak (EoT a new exception but GA won't know), and when the female audience is ignored for a month.

[Shawn Robbins]

part of that is because Spider-Man was playing in 800 more theaters than AOTC For what ever reason

 

Lucas had significant restrictions on which theaters could play TPM and AOTC.

[reddevil18]

TF4 is going to suffer from TASM syndrome.

 

I don't think to the same degree. But 260 would still put it in front, hence confirming the front-runner status. 

[Shawn Robbins]

Why y'all pitting RTH vs Spatula?

 

What the fucking fuck?

 

One, that is super rude.

 

Two, that is extra as hell.

 

Y'all should thankful and nice that they giving you numbers.

 

Instead, y'all act as extra as fuck.

 

They shouldn't even have to explain how they got them. The numbers should speak for themselves.

 

I'm gonna drag, y'all. One day.

 

[Mattrek]

I don't care about, which god is better, I'm just stoked we have 2 that are both gay. 

 

Admin edit: that was a little much, Matt.

True, except this time I would reverse the opening weekends.
