On track to $80- 85M, double the previous 3-day OW record.

 

Might be with $5m of the US opening.

Oh, they're spinning enough to make Charlotte jealous - and it's regurgitated spin.  The Spring Break fact was ridiculous the first time they trotted it out.

 

Why? It's just a minor fact. I don't get why you're so caught up in it.

[Noctis]

I can only imagine the spiritual experience Bay would have if he were in Syria right now.

Quick snapshot on the other two in their sophomore frames â�¦ Jersey Boys is currently down around 77% and Think Like A Man Too down about 89% {nm}  lobogotti on Jun 27, 12:53

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Looking at the Lego Movie overseas numbers, surprised they are not higher.

[La Binoche]

There's a very real chance this doesn't make the same increases Cap, Spidey, Godzilla, and X-Men did from Friday business to Saturday seeing as how they were all April-May and this is late June. In which case this might actually fall short of $90 million this weekend.Paramount's gonna need a lot more than Puerto Rico to fudge that.

TrueBut Sunday hold could be better

It's intentionally misleading.

TLAMT should do better at night. JB's drop is gonna be glorious, tho. 

[jj99]

This shit is so getting Puerto Rico'ed to 100.

 

Steep Drop for TLAM2, but expected.

[Noctis]

Am I wrong to think the 36m is going to end up way too high?

[Dementeleus]

It's intentionally misleading.

 

Why is it misleading (let alone intentionally)?

the target audience for jersey boys is so old I wouldn't be surprised if many of them actually died in the last week, so the drop isn't too surprising.

3.5 Hours away...

No.... but it might be Puerto Rico'ed to 90 or 95.

Best. Response. Ever.

 

How do you write for Michael Bay’s style? 

Writing for Michael is very — he’s a very sensory director, and sometimes an “overload” director. He’s someone who is always looking to top himself, certainly from an action perspective and a stylistic perspective. So very early on we’re throwing ideas back and forth. We talk about sequences and visuals and moments. Whereas in some other films, or “ordinary” films, you might be very slavish to story and narrative first, and logical sense above all. When you’re talking about aliens, robotic machines which disguise themselves as vehicles and animals, you start to make your peace with the idea that logical sense doesn’t have to be the be-all, end-all. It needs to be amazing fun for the audience. They need to be swept up, and be promised that they’re going to see things that make it worth spending money on a ticket.
