Why don't you put the page number where Rth posts in the title anymore?

Just have Rth's profile page bookmarked, and check his posting history like I do.

Many people were disappointed with the first Dragon's opening though.

It had a 70% 3D share too, might have been below $30m without it.

[Jake Gittes]

If you look at HTTYD as a $170m+ movie that got a major halo effect bump from Avatar, combined with a 4 year wait, HTTYD2's OW makes more sense.

That sounds more like Alice in Wonderland. Whose sequel I wouldn't be surprised to see make twice less money domestically.

Since Maleficent and 22 Jump Street still opened big, as well as Fault in Our Stars, I do not think I will let HTTYD2's lower than expected numbers hinder my outlook on other weekly summer tentpole pictures.

I think they simply waited too long with the sequel. That being said, flop talk this early on is just ridiculous. I still think legs will be very good.

I'm not reading the last 30 pages, but I'm drunk and I hate this weekend.

 

I blame Shawn for leaving right as Dragons was opening. Dammit, Shawn! We needed you and you blew it all up! YOu maniac!

Who's Shawn? Who's Telemachos?

Yes but the disappointing OD, & the even more disappointing Saturday number point to the fact that GA doesn't care for this property.

Next weekend is a sober comedy sequel. Maybe HTTYD2 will have a surprising 2nd weekend drop. Week days number should also show whether this movie have legs at all

Where is Shawn's goodbye post?

probably will move Dragon 3 to a March release like the first one

Or it just gets cancelled outright

[Quigley]

Wow, TFIOS actually decreased on Saturday and it ranks fifth for the day, behind Maleficent and EoT... HtTYD2 also dropped. I think those were the most unexpected twists to the Saturday numbers. 22 Jump Street might have fallen slightly more than expected as well, but Maleficent and Edge of Tomorrow had impressive increases.

Fault dropping on Saturday is not that surprising. Magic Mike (another film whose audience is mostly female) dropped on its second Saturday as well.

What page are the numbers on?

Why is this? Kind of weird

Women.

Women.

They don't go to movies on Saturday?

[The Stingray]

Just saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Brilliant movie. 2007 gotta be one of the greatest years for movies ever.

No one knows what page numbers are on?
