Jayhawk the Hutt Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 May go to the local Alamo Drafthouse to see this tomorrow night. Seems like that would be the most likely place not to have an empty theater. This just seems like a movie that should be seen with a good crowd.

filmlover Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Variety is projecting a weekend of around $10M. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) If it opens at $15-17m it will be somewhat disappointing but understandable. But lower? Fuck that. What the hell else do you need to do to sell people on this being a good time? Edited May 18, 2016 by Jake Gittes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I commend WB for placing this in the summer when it's been done for close to a year, it's destined to get lost in a sea of flashier fare.

JohnnyGossamer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Agreed, Jake. And, hope Variety is wrong. But, very much looks like a niche movie. Unfortunately, I'm thinking closer to $10M than $17. This is movie for film buffs more than anything.

DAJK Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 This won't open below money monster. No way. I won't allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just now, DAJK said: This won't open below money monster. No way. I won't allow it. I kind of think it will open just under Money Monster with about $13.5M OW. Legs should be decent though. Maybe it gets to $45M or $55M DOM?

filmlover Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 As Jayhawk said, this has cult hit written all over it. Let's not forget that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang made zilch in theaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Younger R-rated crowd will see Neighbors 2, even its numbers are down from Neighbors 1. Obviously, kids/families will see Angry Birds/Civil Ware/Jungle Book/Zootopia. Actions fans will see Civil War/The Nice Guys. There are plenty of good options out there for viewers. I agree that placement of the release is awkward. BUT, marketing has been stellar. If it marketing really worked, it could to $17.5M+ OW.

Jake Gittes Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was a limited release, and Downey and Kilmer in 2005 had nowhere near the draw of Crowe (even if he's left his most bankable days behind) and Gosling in 2016.

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Incidentally, if RDJ was in this, it could have been even bigger. Anyways, I think I'll settle for a $14m prediction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosling isn't really a proven draw tbh. Only three movies of his (The Notebook, Crazy Stupid Love, The Big Short) have made $50M+ total. Although he has been spending most of his career gravitating towards roles that wouldn't make him a draw (and I doubt a quirky 70s comedy will do the trick) so... The budget is reported to be $50M.

Is Gosling a draw to open a niche genre flick? Aside from big properties like Noah, Robin Hood, Les Mis, what has Crowe opened over $14M+ DOM in the last decade? I'm hoping to be proven wrong. I'd love to see this breakout. Edited May 18, 2016 by JohnnyGossamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
