You're such a blatant MCU fanboy it's not even funny. 

 

Agreed. What does that have to do with anything that is being discussed right now? Are you trying to troll? Flame Bait? Are you crying out for attention? What is the point of this post?

[Mulder]

I hate fanboys.    *hypocrite*

[Mulder]

BTW Maleficent is a terrible movie. 

[Blankments]

Madagascar 3 had a far more appealing campaign to kids.

For anyone who wondered what our fearless leader looks like - the resemblance to Kim Jong Un is uncanny.

 

Quick, who is playing Seth Rogen and James Franco in Jesus of Suburbia's This is the End of Box Office Forums?? I think we have a good set up for our own THE INTERVIEW

Well congratulations for mediocrity in the form of Bromancing and dick humor over a quality movie like Dragons 2 appeared to be, but oh well.. Stranger things have happened I suppose..

LOL

 

You know, BKB, I'd write a big argument but I know you don't care, so instead I'll just post my top 5 of the year so far.

[*]The LEGO Movie

[*]X-Men: Days of Future Past

[*]22 Jump Street

[*]Captain America: The Winter Soldier

[*]Mr. Peabody and Sherman

 

Dragon 2 is probably good, but 22 Jump Street is the best comedy of the year

[The Panda]

Not saying 22 JS until we see

1.full weekend

2.drop off

I am expecting that we'll be able to add 22 JS to the surprises (Maleficent as well), but when Maleficent breaking out to about a WWZ level is the biggest surprise of the summer it's a very disappointing summer.

[Mojoguy]

Have you made a single comment about Dragon that didn't have the smilie?

Isn't that the question of the day?

[Blankments]

Yeah next time I know what to do apparently.

 

 

I just spent five minutes trying to find a gif of

Xavier telling Wolverine to fuck off

but it's like impossible to find among the porn

[Blankments]

I remember a lot of people had really high predictions for DOFP but they went down once the trailers started hitting

In retrospect, I enjoyed all the DOFP trailers. The misstep in marketing was waiting so long to release a second trailer

[Blankments]

It's not doing as good 22JS.

 

300M Domestic Jump Street, here we come!

22 Jump Street 300M. BELIEVE

[ecstasy]

Considering the huge amount of people that expected it to hit 70M OW, and won't even do 60M, it has to be seen as a disappointment, just like HTTYD2.

 

Nope. You want that to be true. But nope.

[Mojoguy]

I think what is REALLY hurting Dragon 2 so much is that no one gives a shit about 3D anymore, which probably help the first movie a lot.

I just looked it up, HTTYD1 had a 3D share of 68 %...

[commonsense88]

This... is actually pretty accurate. I would've seen Dragon 2 ASAP, but 22 Jump Street is simply a much higher priority to see with a good crowd, even though I was more excited for Dragon 2.

 

Same here

Think of all the porn you get when you try to find this gif

I got up to page 20.

 

Unless there's a flood of 270+ predictions after that, most people didn't make predictions in that range.

Alice and HTTYD1 came in March. Avatar was in top 3 for the last time in Feb. Both these movies benefited greatly from post Avatar 3D bump. Apart from it's quality, 3D helped HTTYD1 to it's crazy 5+ multiplier imo. That's one reason that irrespective of HTTYD2's quality I don't see it coming close to 4.5. I think that would have been around HTTYD1's multiplier itself in non-Avatar normal times (just a theory). This one being a sequel would drop to around 4 at least.

I think it was definitely that fox didn't kick in the marketing till a couple weeks before.Same thing happened with Fault, they relied entirely on the pre-built fanbase and twitter buzz that they didn't give it a real advertising campaign, had they actually marketed it could have opened much higher than it did (it opened high, but that Saturday dropped showed the marketing really didn't hit anybody but the fans)And now with Dragon you have the same problem, Fox tried to rely on good will from the first instead of pumping it up as an animated event. It needed to be marketed.Fox needs to learn how to market their movies or they are going to get lost in this new front loaded world of box office.
