Million Ways to Die already below Captain America 2

 

Thank God Deliver Us From Evil opened higher than ETE! (BSG purposes)

[La Binoche]

It's starting. 

 

John Carney's specialty film Begin Again performed nicely for The Weinstein Co. after expanding into 175 theaters Wednesday, grossing $1.7 million for the five days for a domestic total of $1.9 million. The movie, starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo, posted one of the best location averages of the holiday stretch.

 

[Hilderic]

BoxOffice ‏@BoxOffice HOW TO TRAIN YOU DRAGON 2 took in an estimated $8.75M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $140.00M.

Is this beating KFP2 in the end?

[CJohn]

Movie malaise--the overall 4th of July box office is down nearly -45% vs. 2013.

[TServo2049]

HTTYD2 may have been a shocker in its underperformance, but in terms of potential vs. real, AMWTDITW has probably the biggest differential. After Ted, who would have thought that Seth's follow-up would fail to cross $45m? What's the last time that a filmmaker's follow-up to a success (especially an original breakout) tanked THIS hard?

Malf scoring smallest drop yet in 6th weekend

[Squaremaster316]

TF4 is set for a 36-37M three day 2nd weekend.

 

Dark of the Moon had a 47M+ second weekend, and that was without a 4th of July weekend to cushion its Sunday drop.

 

It's now at 87M behind the previous installment.

 

 

This series is falling off a cliff.

JB should likely get to 45-48 million

[miketheavenger]

The wknd estimates seem to inject life back into this thread. Strong holds for Mal and EoT. And Dragon 2 is also finally showing some legs.

Oh boy.

Its a 4th film with a new cast and a new story. And if falling off a cliff means making a bill then every films should fall off a cliff.

On the whole, I would say yes, though obviously BSG has far better VFX. The first couple of seasons of BSG are arguably superior, but the show did start to fizzle out toward the end. The strength is B5 is the on-going story: while each episode (for the most part) is constructed like a stand-alone ep (at the time, arcs on TV were considered verboten), the B-stories in even the lesser episodes often contain key moments and continuations of the greater story, so as you watch, it's like one giant tapestry coming together.Combine that with the fact that it's a very mythic and grand show with remarkably vigorous worldbuilding (JMS has repeatedly said one of his inspirations was LOTR) and the cumulative effect is very strong. The ending of the finale is powerful stuff.

 

BSG and B5, two of my favorite TV shows.

[DAR]

TF4 is Pirates 4

[Dingdong123]

EoT's PTA is actually higher this weekend than the last. Lol.

[Dementeleus]

Oh boy.Its a 4th film with a new cast and a new story. And if falling off a cliff means making a bill o

 

"New story" should be in quotes.

[CJohn]

TF4 is basically following Pirates 4, Shrek 4 and TASM... it was easy to predict it. 

[DAR]

TF 5 could use a Jeff Nathanson type to handle script duties

[grim22]

TF 5 could use a Jeff Nathanson type to handle script duties

And a runtime of 135 minutes.

[Elessar]

If TF4 hadn't had China it would have looked a lot worse.

[John Marston]

Tf4 should have held closer to 60% but Saturday increases were poor all around. This weekend feels really deflated

[ecstasy]

It's not a musical, so no sing-alongs. But it should do well enough. Still, it's fucking Japan, so...

 

Happy Birthday!
