CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) give me a break. even the tourist made 2,6 m. Children will save this. Jolie is a big draw here. The Tourist opened in early 2011 with huge hype. It was also selling out so many 300+ seats theaters that I had to buy my tickets in advance. It was also a Golden Globe/Oscars movie (I remember the TV Spots hyping the number of noms and saying it was the best movie of the year), those movies even today do good numbers (12 Years a Slave and Wolf both sold around 250000 tickctes this year, but I need to say that The Tourist sold 400000 tickets). I am not going to discuss this, but Maleficent will be lucky to do 1M in total. Just see the numbers on ICA on Monday. And if you want to discuss this just send me a PM.

ACSlater Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Do any of the southern European countries (Portugal, Spain, etc...) have a big movie watching culture though? Maybe its too nice outside to be inside... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Nights like this are annoying at times. A Movie breaks out and is doing huge numbers and before the first night is even over people are saying how front-loaded it's going to be or how much is going to die tomorrow or how the legs will suck. You can't even give it one weekend and give it praise.....you have to knock the s*** out of it right on day one. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sounds like DOFP is not doing good there at all. It is doing ok. It was affect by Champions Finale, Portugal's game last Saturday and a huge music festival that killed business on our biggest city. The Wolverine also had Summer weekdays. August is the 2nd biggest month of the year over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that people are underestimating on how much of a date-night film this will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its too nice outside to be inside... Portugal doesn't have. When good weather arrives it kills theaters. Godzilla got very affected by it, and I won't even talk about Peabody's abysmal OW (just 17000 tickets sold, lucky for it, time got worst after that weekend and Easter arrived a few weeks later, and ended with 115000 tickets sold).

CJohn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Ah, okay. I didn't know all of that. I still never expected it to decrease. At least matching The Wolverine should have been made. Edited June 7, 2014 by CJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 and why is this movie criticized for having so many females that want to see it? Males makeup most of Star Wars.....males makeup most of a lot of movies that do really well. Who cares if its mostly women that want to go see this. Money is money. It all counts the same when it comes out of the cash register. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashrendar44 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 WB wish they could reset and put all their stocks/Marketing blitz on EoT in their july slot instead of betting all on Godzilla. But EoT doesn't scream "FRANCHISE THE FUCK OUTTA ME" unlike Godzilla... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Binoche Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 So at least 10m for Maleficent? Possibly up to 12? That would be quite good. No, Maleficent will come in lower than EOT on Friday but could still win the weekend due to family boost on Sat & Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
