Early Wed Numbers: Tammy 6.18 (incl 1.3 previews), Trans4 7.7, DUFE: 2.8 ETE 2.6...pg 21

I doubt it's that low though. Probably 7.5m at the worst. Which is still bad and puts it in position for a nasty drop this weekend.

 

It's not great. We do need to remember that tomorrow will act like a mini-summer Friday, though.

Are we talking actuals or "actuals?"

Someone else wanna take this one....

Movieman could you tell me what you meant by this. Please and thank you.

...and you're the comedy writer, right?

Maybe they sold it for a loss to avoid further losses.

I guess so but it doesn't look like a movie costing more than $13m.

Of course, I was already taking that into consideration. But even still, the Thursday jumps in '08 weren't that great. Most were around 25-30% with Friday jumps between 5-15%.

Lmao I know you guys didnt turn that into a fat joke.

Just stop and weigh out where that could possibly have been going for a second.

A fat joke AND an ass joke.

Well, this definitely demonstrates McCarthy's appeal.

Well, so far MM has a been the lead in two bad movies and one good one. That's it. There will be more bad ones like Tammy and more good ones likes The Heat, unless of course she has no longevity.

She's pretty much batting 50/50 in the quality department. Bridesmaids and The Heat were good, Identity Thief and I'm gonna just go ahead and assume Tammy are not. So it could be worse I guess. She could be like Sandler and get hits even though none of her movies are good.

Put Melissa McCarney in an Erin Brokovic-like movie and she is an oscar contender.

But nobody writes such roles or wants to give the money to finance it.

 

Or just forget Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side" and put in Melissa. I guess it would work wonderfully.

  I agree, but nobody is gonna offer those roles to a fat actress, sadly. In fact, Erin Brockovich was supposed to have men lusting after her, which she used it to her advantage, but studio executives would never think (in their myopic lil brains) that an overweight person is sexually attractive to anybody. 

Another thing, funny how nobody complained when Angelina plays the same badass action chick in all her pre-Maleficent hits, and nobody complained when Julia Roberts played the same wide-eyed, toothy gal in all of her big smashes, and nobody complains when actresses play the same ole sexpot, but MM does the same ole schtick, and it's disgusting, sloppy, tired, whatever.

Well those people are obviously hypocrites then. I know I'll eventually complain if any actor does the same thing in every movie of theirs and especially if they have success with it. Because doing the same thing over and over isn't real talent and doesn't deserve to be rewarded. However, I do sympathize with McCarthy because I'm sure her roles available to her are limited and now she's really been typecast into this particular role.

When predicting Trans4mers' drop for next weekend remember that every weekday was ~650k higher than the "actual"

Yay, more chance for my 70%+ 2nd weekend drop to actually happen then!

But Paramount may have backed themselves into a corner, because there's no way in fuck they'll gonna allow TF4 to go sub-7 or finish below TAMMY (IMO).

They made their fudge, now they gotta eat it, I suppose...

So echo was originally disney? I thought it looked like a poor mans disney film... I guess this makes sense now. 

[TServo2049]

Maybe THAT explains why Relativity put their name above the title like a Disney movie? It's weird seeing anyone besides Disney/DreamWorks doing it...
