Weekend Est: 22JUMP 60.0M| HTTYD2 50.0M|Male 19.0M|EOT 16.1M|Fault 15.7M|DOFP 9.5M

[Michael Gary Scott]

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.

Thats ridiculous logic

[grim22]

Also that article came out a year ago before any other similar ones so I think that was the main movie they were betting on

 

Actually, I think TASM2 was the first article, then DOFP, then Transformers and finally Dragon 2.

No DOFP article came out in July 2013. The other ones weren't written until March of 2014

Okay, just got to work and what number did I give for 22JS this time yesterday? I think it was 1100ish. It's done 1148! On pace to match yesterday's number!

In line with what I am expecting for today, around 20M.

 

What about HTTYD2?

[Last Man Standing]

It's not a bullshit claim. It's legit. People were talking about DOFP doing X2 or Last Stand numbers. That's about $280M give or take a few million. Shawn wrote an article about how DOFP could win the summer. You can look it up to disprove what I am saying or take the claim at its face or ignore it. Do what you have to do to be happy.

 

i dunno about dom specifically, but looking at this thread few people thought it would cross 640m ww, so i'd say it exceeded expectations.

Unless a lot more 280 range predictions were made in the main thread, to say that most people made predictions in that range is inaccurate.

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.

[The Panda]

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

How did what he say have anything to do with MCU?

[DAR]

Look at BSG for predictions

No DOFP was first and tasm2 came a lot later.

[Deep Wang]

What about HTTYD2?

It's not doing as good 22JS.

[efialtes76]

Poor World Cup. Dragon fans are blaming the hell out of it for Dragaon's low Friday.

No, but a great movie like HTTYD2, or EOT, deserves a lot more!

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

[Blankments]

I have a theory as to why Dragon opened lower then 22 Jump Street. I remember the first Dragon and most of my friends aka the young adult/university/college crowd went to see it and really loved it. 22 Jump Street aims straight at that demographic. If I had the choice between 22 Jump or Dragon I'd see 22 jump street first and go see Dragon whenever I got the time. I still want to see Dragon in theaters, but it's not a MUST SEE NOW movie whereas Jump is. Maybe other people feel the same? Hopefully this'll mean a long healthy box office run since Dragon is alone in competition for a month.

 

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.

[Walt Disney]

 And why would you assume all X3, X2 predictions were adjusted?

 

Because I am always comparing movies adjusted. So naturally I would assume that. Don't you think it's pretty stupid asking me why I would assume the predictions are adjusted? It's pretty obvious if you read my posts.

[Blankments]

Cap and LEGO are possibly the only two movies this year that met expectations or over performed. (Blockbuster wise)

[Walt Disney]

Also that article came out a year ago before any other similar ones so I think that was the main movie they were betting on

 

I'm not saying that you're wrong at all. You are probably 100% correct. However, I remember what I read. I just don't remember when I read it. If predictions changed and I didn't know, then I didn't know.

[Blankments]

It's a shame families picked that trash over dragon 2.Literally the one movie with decent legs this summer was one of the bad ones.
