What does this stuff you are posting mean? 

 

I think it's supposed to be his imaginary wishful box office.

Earth to Echo should have been a February or March release.

Yeah, it probably would have done better if it opened then. I still don't think it would have done that good though.

[#ED]

Good legs meaning what? Friday's increase is gonna be weak (because it's the Fourth). It'll end up with a 2.5-2.6 multiplier at best.

July 3rd usually makes up for the fourth, am I right? Not to mention Summer dailies.2.5x is still better than all of the current 90M+ openers this Summer.

[Fancyarcher]

Yeah, it probably would have done better if it opened then. I still don't think it would have done that good though.

 

Yeah, but if it's like any other found footage movie, then the budget's no doubt very small. So I don't think there's  much of a risk involved with it, even if it does poorly.

*clears throat*

 

Back in 2010, before I even knew forums for box office existed, I liked to follow box office. So, out of boredom, I have created an imaginary box office where insane inflation hits in May, June, July, November, and December every year. Thus, every movie's opening week in our world is an opening weekend in the alternate universe I have going on.

 

Why I do this still, IDK, but I've kept it running for four years, I'm not gonna stop soon

I see the tv spots and they are trying to sell it like a techno ET. 

[filmscholar]

Yeah, but Tammy will still do good though. Earth to Echo I don't see doing very good at all. 

 

Yeah, Tammy with summer weekdays could still do very good.  I mean Melissa is on a roll right now but honestly out of the other comedies this one seems to not have as big of a buzz.  It might work well for counter programming as Comedies seem to be doing pretty well this summer (Neighbors, 22 Jump St).  AoE just works better as a "Holiday" film for the whole family.

I missed it.

[Mulder]

It was first advertised very straightforwardly like a found footage film until it did a 180 and is now advertising itself as a ET knock-off.

[Empire]

Yeah, but if it's like any other found footage movie, then the budget's no doubt very small.

Yeah, and there being no big name actors in it will help with the budget too. 

 

It could very well still make its budget back even if it doesn't make a lot.

That movie was both epically stupid AND epically awesome!

 

 

How does Michael Bay do it?????

It's even using a similar sounding score John Williams like score in some of the advertisements.

I sort of implied it and of course you can count on E to counter me.

[Blankments]

It's just a matter of time baby boy.

*cries to self*

 

sadly though I am guessing Edge of Tomorrow had a huge drop

I saw it today, so don't blame me

[Fancyarcher]

Precisely.
