Weekend Estimates | TF4 - 100M (Paramount sticking to 100M for the Wknd Est)| More Numbers on Page 1

[Blackout]

Ninja Turtles >300m 

[The Panda]

I dont think either of those movies will do it. I'd be thrilled if one of em did, though.

Given how this summer has gone I'm not saying no to anything anymore until Mockingjay.

Guys

 

this is important

 

but everyone needs to watch this ad for Earth to Echo

 

 

Saw it in front of Edge of Tomorrow today and went "WHAT THE FUCK" multiple times

 

This is just pathetic advertising.

 

This film isn't even denying how much of a ripoff of E.T. it is. Even the score sounds similar.

[Blankments]

well I guess the apocalypse is here. I did not like transformers at all. In fact I came close to hating it. Everything that I feared about the movie came true. The new story and the new characters simply don't match up to the old story and the old characters. So eventually when you get to a bunch of robots fighting each other it doesn't mean anything because you really don't care about who they are protecting and why they are fighting. So this movie is a big failure in my opinion......not good at all

WHAT

 

The question is then

 

Pacific Rim or Trans4mers?

 

I agree but I don't agree, because GODZILLA was great.

I like Godzilla (and Man of Steel ) too. Just liked Edge and Rim more!

[filmnerdjamie]

won't reach 200m let alone 300m 

 

Apes has the momentum to do $200M. Guardians.... no.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Still holding out hope for Hobbit 3 for over 300 mil!

[Fancyarcher]

I hope TF4, Apes, Guardians and Turtles all open in the 90s and finish in the low 200s

 

It's the summer 2014 we deserve

 

This box office deserves a better class of movies.

Jack, talk to us about UNDER THE SKIN.

 

Awesome. Bizarre. Must see.

[Moviefanatic]

Yeah, a friend wants to see it tomorrow and I didn't really mind before but now I'm really gonna try to get out of it. Cold reception doesn't sway me either way when it comes to movies like this, but that 165 minute running time just sounds brutal.

Yea the runtime is the biggest drawback for me. TF2 and TF3 already felt long to me.

The Only thing Reaching 300 this year Is Mocking Jay Part 1.

 

Though it won't reach $300M, you know what film we should be keeping our eye on to break out big? Paddington.

Somewhere a single tear of joy goes down Gopher's cheek

It's poetry

 

Wahlberg has no business being in a Transformers movie. He just doesn't fit the role. I know a lot of you guys did not like what Shia brought to the table but that was the reason why I like the first 3. His dynamic and his character and his manic expressive faces and stressed out look all the time it just added to the character an added to the thrilling parts of the movie. Then you add his military friends his parents his girlfriends it just all clicks for me. In this one nothing clicked. The last 30 minutes of the movie in Beijing is pretty good but that doesn't make up for the other two hours.

Wahlberg isn't good?

 

Welp, this is gonna be awful

 

Who would have thought this scenario from Baumer? Thumbs down for Transformers and Thumbs up for Amazing Spidey 2.

 

It's a brand new day for BOF.

[Moviefanatic]

Talk him into going to see Edge of Tomorrow if you haven't seen it already. Its a Much better movie

I already saw it but I will definitely see it again. That or X-men again

OH MY GOD HAVE YOU ACTUALLY SEEN FREE BIRDS?ISN'T IT AMAZING?

Spaghetti, Fancyarcher, and I did a liveblog of it last night in the Thursday numbers thread

[K1stpierre]

Ninja Turtles >400m 

 

[RTX]

 

The most recent film in the series, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” earned $13.5 million from late-night showings, while the second part, 2009′s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” snagged a series-leading $16.6 million from midnight showings. The previous low-water mark was 2007′s “Transformers,” which earned $8.8 million from its preview and midnight screenings.

 

Perhaps, it's going to perform less like a sequel and more like an original film this time, i.e. less frontloaded...

[Blankments]

I saw this at Million Dollar Arm

 

The only appropriate reaction:

 

I just laughed hysterically for the 150 seconds

I highly, highly doubt that.
