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

[darkelf]

Even higher. Nice Go $100M!

[GiantCALBears]

100M opening, looks like Americans love them too.

Ummmm no that doesn't mean that, 100m for a summer tentpole that will be outgrossed significantly overseas. Not impressed domestically.

[Blackout]

Godzilla looks like it only increased 3% on Friday. 200M looks difficult.

[tong kosong]

Overseas, TRANS4MERS scored $52M ($80M total) on Friday--a record-breaking $30M of that from China.

Where are people getting that this movie is 3 hours long?  It's not.

 

 

They are rounding it up. Why i don't know 

 

 

2 hours and 45 minutes. Subtract 10 minutes for end credits, but add 20 minutes for trailers in front of the movie. From the start of a showtime to the point when people leave as the end credits start, that's 2 hours and 55 minutes. Pretty damn close to a 3 hour ordeal to watch this in a theater.

 

A cookie for Red!

 

What we do is take the running time that we are given, in this case 166 minutes, and round up to the nearest 5 which would be 170, then add 10 minutes for trailers.  180m.  

 

So while the movie may not be 3 hours long, the entire "event" will last longer than 3 hours.

41M? Wow wtf30M in China?...

Snowpiercer

38,500 / 8

 

About the same total as Begin Again but even though it was 8 vs 5 theaters it played on fewer screens and in some of the smaller theaters (no Arclight or Landmark in LA).

This is why we can't have nice things!

41M? Wow wtf30M in China?...

The China # is truly mind-boggling. The trend of US becoming second rate when it comes to these blockbuster premieres should only accelerate. Shame really...

10 minutes for trailers.  I wish.  The last several times I went to the movies I saw 8-10 trailers (not including the previews and ads) for  20-25 min

[CJohn]

TF4 did more in one day than Pacific Shit on his OW. And it will do more than Pacific Shit did in total in just 3 days. 

[Jack Nevada]

Goddamn, I get max. four trailers and a Subway ad.

Danm i usually get twenty minutes of trailers. 

[KATCH-2D2]

Everyone already knew that though, irrelevant when Asians love his type of movies.

That comment is so unfair. Great movies also did well in Asian markets. They just love Blockbusters just like you Americans.

 

The last time I checked, ROTF made half of it's WW gross in the US. Stop blaming the world when you're just as guilty.

 

For the record, EOT has made more money than TASM2 in SK and made very decent money in China, maybe you Americans should take the note.

[GiantCALBears]

Really hoping even as a potential family/kids movie, this thing collapses and just goes away. This whole series has no point but to make $$$, which is brilliant by Bay & co but from an artistic standpoint: an absurd compromise w/ no acting or story.

[Mango]

I guess the trend of movies being tailor made for China will start now. I don't think this is a good thing, either.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Gravity will have grossed more than all summer films of 2014. That's pretty effing crazy.
