GA appreciates movies taking artistic risks, even if they stumble. Unlike a certain by-the-book monster movie this summer

Maleficent an artistic risk? Now I've heard everything.

Wait? You don't get that? You didn't wrote it? Where is Tele? 

Are you kidding me? That was all Tele. I didn't edit because it looked like it made sense but I was just like "Wtf?"...

Disney's MALEFICENT crossed $500M+ worldwide this weekend--$186M domestic, $335M int'l.— Exhibitor Relations (@ERCboxoffice) June 22, 2014

At this point, 400M OS is almost locked isn't it?!

Maleficent is increasing this weekend in Portugal. What in the fuck...   Honestly, this thing won when in 7 days it passed Oz's total over here.

 

At least, HTTYD2 is also increasing from that atrocious OW (sold 16500 tickets in the first 4 days, in comparison, the first sold 50000 in the first 4 days).

What artistic risks did Maleficent take.

#1 going different way than the original, #2 how many commercial movies for kids are about someone who does something trully evil lol

I still don't know what is Verizon

Having a huge A-list stay at the forefront and not showing Maleficent as pure evil kind of negates those.

Jon Favreau's CHEF continues to dish up the best hold in the Top 10--down -16% w/ $1.8M, $17M total.

Also, GA does not appreciate artistic risks.

Dying to see this. The Before Sunrise movies are kind of the trilogy of our generation. Toy Story who. Lord of the Rings what.

Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD has collected $1.6M playing in only Germany, Austria and German-Switzerland. US & UK drop July 11.

I assumed it's The Fault In Our Stars since the target audience for it is glued to their cellphones all the damn time lol.

Really curious if this will be 2014's breakout drama crowd-pleaser, hope so!

Big $20.3M China opening wknd for #Maleficent shoots global gross up to $521.6M. Jolie's biggest live-action film ever.

 

And go Dame!

Depressing numbers all around for mid-June. And to think last year we had MU and WWZ opening, and MoS on his 2nd weekend

T4 next week yo! back to huge numbers!

[Ozymandias]

I'm truly amazed at how such mediocrity and/or shit makes so much coin sometimes.  Maleficent and Bayformers 4... hell of a double whammy this summer!

[#ED]

TF4 will open to 98.5M.Only makes sense.

Finland report: 

 

This weekend was midsummer, aka the worst box office weekend of the year. Most theaters were closed and a movie can be number one with less than 10k sold tickets. 

 

End of Finland report.
