baumer Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Agree. Too many here see a big drop as meaning wom is bad.The summer movie season is so jammed with event movies people want to see that, for many, it literally has become a sport of sorts.You see everything as soon as it comes out and then move on to the next one. The huge expansion of the marketplace can accommodate the demand now as we know.FioS doing almost $50 million is a fantastic opening. Well put. I had never heard of this book 6 months ago. Then some started hyping it here and then the crazy predictions started coming in. I'm glad people hyped the book because I bought it and read it in three days. Such a great story and a very good movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wow. Million Ways might finish with less than 45 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Neighbors is 9.2m away from having a multiplier of 3.0. Only 2nd of the 9 non-animated 100m+ movies this year to do that. Ride Along is the other one. Universal must be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 The Queen wins the weekend over here, but with an OW under Snow White. ..WHAT!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 The general box office logic is that if a film opens large it has broken out and will appeal to even wider audience.. However in the past few years, films get marketed really well and open well above expectations but fail to break out beyond the target group. For example we saw this with IM3, MOS, Godzilla and others so far this year . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) ..WHAT!? The market is in complete collapse. Plus Snow White was a beast 2 years ago with one of the best campaigns of 2012 over here. Maleficent had a shitty marketing campaign. It is going to fly past Oz's OW. I can accept this OW considering the horrible numbers posted by every movie opening since Easter. Hell, A Million Ways is also opening this weekend and it is flopping, even with a good marketing campaign. At this point, I am happy with every movie that doesn't outright bomb, and so far since Easter only X-Men and Maleficent did that.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Judging by its performance in UK, 22 will easily break comedy OW record next weekend, maybe even top 100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Portugal: The land of the movie bombs For every day that passes and every movie that bombs, Noah's result impresses me more. 200500 tickets sold total. That is insane compared to everything else that opened this year not named 12 Years a Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
