Yeah but I meant some big surprises like WWZ's opening last year.

 

I agree. Forget the big ticket openings, this summer so far hasn't even had a surprise run like "Now You See Me" which opened above expectations and kept chugging along to a 4 multiplier. 

 

Also, when movies that a lot of people on the boards enjoyed like "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Dragon" underperform badly, it is kind of all adding up to a summer of indifference.

 

What this summer needs is a true breakout in the vein of a NYSM or even better, a Conjuring. I had hoped "Deliver us from evil" would have done a Conjuring type run, but the recent trailer has dashed my hopes at least. It looks very cliched now as opposed to the one scene trailer they had initially released.

They'll keep this going until the end of the summer and they'll finally settle on both movies with the exact same number.

Great for EOT

Seems like quality is finally starting to get appreciated.

OMG!  WB did it again!  They just found extra $ in the cushions after the official #s were already up.

*Dem.

[ChD]

Edge of Tomorrow will make 400M without Japan. With Japan it might get to 450M.

 

It might ACTUALLY turn in some decent profit. Ok, that is until it gets totally decimated by Transformers, which I hope won't be the case.

[Jack Nevada]

I'm sure Tom doesn't mind them either.

Hey now.

[John Marston]

it's more to do with this Sunday softening holds. Also since there were no new action movies they were helped out

[grim22]

The one advantage that 2014 has over 2013 is that January and February were much stronger than last year with better movies as well. Since then 2014 has matched or been below 2013.
