fishstick Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 This makes me depressed. Further proof that TDK might of not done that well if it came out this year.Whoa, whoa, wut? SH was OK movie. People liked it. It wasn`t a pehonomenon. TDKR is a sequel on a completely different level. No matter what year it comes out, it`s gonna be gigantic.

CJohn Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Next Wednesday: a sequel probably a lot of people don't care anymore, a family movie based on something almost nobody knows in America and a movie based on a dark/adult book with Daniel Craig...This Christmas will be epic...

redfirebird2008 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 SH1 didn't sold very well on DVD. And people didn't loved it that much as some think.Not surprised. Movie was average at best, and RDJ mumbled his way through it. Killed the jokes for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) SH was good but not a memorable movie so maybe that's why people aren't rushing out to watch the sequel . I think MI:4 is probably taking away a good bit of its viewers too. It is telling that MI:4 may be the bigger storyline this weekend so Is Tom Cruise back?

FilmBuff Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I still think Mission Impossible will be a hit in the America's. I see it passing 200 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 So yeah that's not good for SH2. With MI4's good reviews perhaps it can be the surprise hit this winter. Actually, if Dragon Tattoo's $40 ow tracking is accurate, perhaps that could be the surprise hit of the winter...now that would be a real (but welcome) shocker.

RS has been way overpredicting movies this fall/winter. They had NYE at about 40 million and SH2 at 60 million +. They may get Alvin right but it is a kids movie so if tracking is right, it is only by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narniadis Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 As I am sure to be in the minority on this, I think Sherlock will have good legs - the audience reaction today was the best I've seen in quite some time (prob since potter for a mixed demographic film) and the clapping was abnormal for my theater, I know its just mine but I think most would agree that its a better film than the first, so hopefully..... cause we need a third one.....

narniadis Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 And as for the numbers themselves, the first Sherlock opened ON Christmas day and decreased each day of the weekend and didn't have a great multiplier so I don't truly think its fair to expect the sequel to match the holiday opening.....

I was expecting that, but I am sick of it.Every blockbuster has one open ending? Why? Why did The Three Musketeers had an open ending, for example? Tron Legacy? Sorcerers Apprentice? Green Lantern? Kung Fu Panda 2? Battle Los Angeles? Real Steel? The Vampire's Assistant? And the list continues... Edited December 17, 2011 by CJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ha I knew it Ironman 2 all over again Boring marketing with no menacing villain for the hero = less money than the first movie It will have slightly better legs than the first movie I think but it will probably do around 160-170 DOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ha I knew it Ironman 2 all over againBoring marketing with no menacing villain for the hero = less money than the first movieThere's a huge difference between grossing $50M less and $6M less, which is what Iron Man 2 did compared to the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 We are over reacting guys. Lets wait for some accurate numbers. And is legs will be very good, too. We are in panic mode too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
