kowhite Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Nikki Finke @NikkiFinke Wkd Box Office: #3 'Edge Of Tomorrow' (WB - 3490 runs) had great reviews but Tom Cruise actioner opens to only$27M or less than 'Oblivion'.Damn you Oblivion. It's your fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Be realistic, HTTD2 can make at most 99m. You forget the curse. I'll be shocked if it opens to less than 85m. 100m is a stretch, but I think it's possible. Depends on how much kids have seen Maleficent, since if they haven't seen that than they're gonna be pretty starved for a movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I believe it had a good simple story of survival and overcoming obstacles. For characterization Cruise did an awesome job as a coward and then suddenly don't give a shit PTSD soldier who wants to get the hell out of this situation. And he also loves Rita and expressed it well. EOT is same up there with DOFP. I didn't say it had a bad story or bad characterization. Just that DOFP's was better. EoT's was perfectly good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Totally called FIOS diving 50%+ Saturday. Will be interesting to see the legs long term on it. There won't be any legs, just bloody stumps. This is looking like the majority who wanted to see it rushed out for the Thursday previews and Friday shows. After a 50% drop on Saturday I'm really curious to see what happens Sunday.

kowhite Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 DOFP drops 53%? Wtf.If only good weekend drops were a mutation...The movie deserves it. But alas, it was never going to be. Xmen is always frontloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy I didn't buy into all the crazy 150-200m+ hype floating around here and predicted a fairly modest 108m total for it in the BSG. Could end up dead on if it stays this frontloaded.

Klingo Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 And I don't think advertising was that big for FIOS either. Unless you see all those books when entering a book store in the front that would count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) I think it has more to do with competition. Weakest total May in years = weak competition. DOFP will be the highest grosser for May and it will the lowest one since MI2 in 2000 - unadjusted. It will be lower than SID last year which was behind IM3 and FF6 in May.

The low budget means it never needed to do much anyways to be profitable. I just never bought that it would have a huge OW and great legs, and it looks like that won't be the case.

narniadis Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Why do people insist on comparing summer films with other seasons?? The Day to Day drops / rises are NOT in any way shape or form comparable. That being said - its a terrible opening for EoT and that fall for Fault is awesome (for how high it is) and suits my summer game much better..... DOFP - not much more to be said, glad its kicking Godzilla's tail though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it reaches 100 million, thats roughly 900% profit right there alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
