THE FAULT IN OUR STARS took in $1.43M on Monday and surpassed the $100M domestic mark in the process. #TheFaultInOurStars

 

Good for Fault.

 

 

It really is. People laugh at the drops but whoever made this movie for 12m dollars is getting the last laugh.

This bag of dried fruit is a fucking sham. I counted four (4) banana chips. 

 

Makes me want to flip over a table.

LMAO 2m. I meant 200m.

The Fault with our Star is obviously doing great, but it's not like it is doing so much better than a film like The Vow which was a success that people didn't go crazy over.

 The vow was in February 2012. I'm pretty sure we paid attention at that time. As a matter of fact a lot of people were commenting on how well it did for a February opener along with Denzel's Safe House. What does it matter anyway?

Just making an observation. It seems as though this film is being considered as an unprecedented success by some and I don't find it to be such. Not to take anything away from the films success and it absolutely is an unqualified success. But "what does it matter anyways" is kind of irrelevant in a box office discussion form which is predominately about opinion.

I really don't see why you need to compare both films. The Vow wasn't based off a popular book that teenagers and young adults read after all.

Hmm... Maleficent will probably hit $200m on Saturday or Sunday, right?

 

Looks like TASM2 will just barely beat it there, getting to the mark on Friday.

 

That was not a close race I would have expected at the beginning of the Summer.

Dragon2 can't keep up with Madagascar3 (3.12m to 4.38m on 2nd Monday)

after 12 days it is still behind KungFu Panda2, it will probably finish higher, but not by much

I honestly don't know if there were many people expecting that...

Well it just comes off a touch bitter. I could be wrong. Just an observation.

 

Also, I'm not sure people are saying it's an unprecendented success. But it is a huge success when you look at what it cost to make.

The Vow was considered by many to be a surprise success, but there were many elements that made a big hit not hard to see coming (being the only legitimate date movie in a marketplace that was starved for one around Valentine's Day, having stars who have both enjoyed previous success in the genre). That whole weekend (February 10-12, 2012) was a crazy big frame altogether though.
