Wknd #s: TF4 - 36.4M | Tam - 21.2M (32.9M) | DUFE - 9.5M (15M) | ETE - 8.3M (13.5M) | pg49 (We love the 90s/70s)

[a2k]

Those numbers are just horrific.

 

Good for TF4 I think. It's set for 38m+. That's a <62% drop despite pulling in 38m on weekdays.

 

Compared to other 90m+ openers:

 

OW + Next 7 days (Mon-Thu + 2nd Weekend; drop of the 7 days from OW)

 

ca2   95.0 + 63.8 (22.6 + 41.2; -32.8%)

asm2 91.6 + 54.6 (19.1 + 35.5; -40.3%)

godz  93.1 + 55.1 (24.2 + 30.9; -40.8%)

dofp 90.8 + 71.1 (38.6 + 32.5; -21.7%)

tf4   100 + >76.3 (38.3 + >38; -23.7%)

The Roger Ebert documentary has an epic average (8.6/10). Waiting for Netflix to add it.

So excited to see it. Can't see how it doesn't win the Oscar with all the love in the industry for Ebert.

Speaking of Knightley, has anyone here seen BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM? I need someone to share my pain.

There is no such thing as a lock in the Documentary category. Lots of weird things happen with that branch.

Great little movie.

The Academy has been going for feel good documentaries in the last few years so it definitely has a good chance.

It's alright.

Frozen, CF and Gravity weren't summer films. The Heat was basically the only film last summer that starred female characters. Stop acting like women aren't severely underrepresented in blockbusters. 

But my point is, I'd rather have limited female-centric movies making a lot of money than having too many of them but most are underperform. Lead actresses who can carry a movie are rare so I'd rather have them staring in the roles that count.

None of those movies came out during summer holidays, so your point is moot.

That TF4 has a good weekend despite coming out in the summer and having strong weekdays is exactly my point.

To negate the differences in weekday and weekend spread because of lack of/presense of summer, I combined them in "next 7 days".

 

EDIT: Had CA2 come in summer, instead of the next 7 days post OW being 63.8 (22.6 + 41.2), it could have been 63.8 (32.6 + 31.2)...or 7 days of TF4 in April could have been 76(22 + 54) instead of 38 + 38. So calculating the drop of the 7 days combined instead of just the weekend, to a certain degree remove the summer/non-summer difference.

I think it's on VOD. Cant wait to watch it.

Never seen any Knightley films aside from Pirates. She just isn't appealing for me to check her out.

[darkelf]

Great little movie.

It's alright.

 

It's as cliched as they get and for a movie that wants to empower women and minorities, they spend way too much time fighting over who gets to sleep with their white coach... It is unintentionally funny at times though.

Lovely movie. Very rewatchable.

This has to be one of the most uninteresting July 4th weekends ever at the box office. I hope Apes 2 injects back some life into the industry next weekend.

It has great reviews, not much competition and is a sequel to a liked/loved film.

and it's 2014, so i think it will disappoint.

Keira's carved quite a niche for herself with Oscar-possible period movies. Personally, When I hear her name I think more of those than the Pirates movies.

It's weird, I think this too, and I've only seen her in the Pirates films.
