filmlover Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I still don't know who in the hell decided these three should be the Independence Day weekend openers. Maleficent never should've moved from this weekend in the first place, it would've had no problem competing with Transformers. Just dismal, dismal, dismal scheduling all around this summer. So the answer to that Summer 2014: What Went Wrong thread is: people just aren't flat out refusing to go to the movies. They just don't want to see these movies. End of story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinecandid Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 If your stated intention is to not last here long and just insult other movies and fans of such movies, feel free to just leave now. Read what this guy is saying man. What is that attitude for? I really don't get it. Only because people said Maleficent is trash but some of those people like superhero movies ? We are not a superhero site. What are your favorite movies of the year besides EoT? Did you liked Noah, Divergent, Godzilla or Transcendence, for example? So if I call some bad superhero/comic book films as well as Maleficent (mind you) crap it's wrong but other people calling Mal, ASM 2, Godzilla trash isn't? What a joke!

Fake Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The key for TF4 would be how well it is able to hold against POTA2. It should be close to 195m by Thursday. So if it can manage to drop only 50%, then the required multiplier from 3rd weekend to hit 250m would be just 3x, which shouldn't be much difficult (TF3 got 3.32x). However, if it drops over 55%, then 250m would become difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinecandid Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Cc, you're being extremely obnoxious. You're not going to make any friends here with that attitude. I'm not here to make friends dude. It's a forum where people are supposed to state their opinions and that's what I've been doing. Some people are getting hurt by my opinions which is quite shocking, to say the least.

CJohn Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 So if I call some bad superhero/comic book films as well as Maleficent (mind you) crap it's wrong but other people calling Mal, ASM 2, Godzilla trash isn't? What a joke! No man, you can call them trash. And other people can call Godzilla trash. None of that is wrong. I do not understand a bit of this post btw, since ASM2 is a comic book movie. Shouldn't it be mentioned alongside the other comic book movies and not with Godzilla and Maleficent? Or you liked ASM2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the posts with your opinions, but other posts where your answers make little to no sense Like when you say this is a superhero forum, which it isn't.

filmlover Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 July is gonna be epic in that. We have one movie with big potential, and that one is Apes 2. The rest are gonna be crap weekends. It's not like August is guaranteed to be a big month either outside of the first weekend (Guardians of the Galaxy will obviously do well and Get on Up could be a force to be reckoned with if it turns out to be of quality and given the slim pickings targeted directly at adults this summer). Again, just very poor scheduling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you liked Noah, Divergent, Godzilla or Transcendence, for example? Isn't Noah the first superhero? And in Divergent it is effectively a superheroine, Godzilla is a lizard superhero, and Transcendence sucks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Fast 7 or Maleficent really should have stuck to early July. Apes could have even moved to July 4th (maybe too similar to TF4?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
