GA seem to think Maleficent is another kids movie, and according to them, a better one. God knows why.

 

Maleficent is a kids movie. Just a very stupid one.

Too bad such an abortion of a film is going to make about 75m.

 

Still not going to gross as much Identity Theft or The Heat.

Honestly, with only HTTYD2 for direct competition (Faults partially effected it) all summer, I was slightly expecting 200m (180-230 million being most likely)If Maleficent was #1 film of summer 2014... still thinking Apes and GotG could give its box office a run for its money

 

TF4's looking at 250M+ so Maleficent's going to need some super holds to become number 1 movie of the summer.

@BoxOffice  7m

MALEFICENT took in $0.95M on Monday. Domestic total now stands at $214.87M. #Maleficent

 

Damn, Spatula nailed it.

 

 

He nailed everything so far including HTTYD2 and Tammy. 

[Deep Wang]

It could end up over $180m domestic, which is great for a comedy.

$180m is locked, it's just going to be a question of how much more it can get.

Do you think $200m is still possible?

[Fancyarcher]

Could someone PM me the deleted post. I wasn't here when it happened.

Indeed. If you guys stop getting likes from me in the AoU thread abruptly, assume the worst. Edited July 8, 2014 by Sam

Love how all of a sudden, people were expecting Mal to reach 200.

It's themes are way to dark to be a kids movie. 

[Dementeleus]

He should have been banned of course, but leave the post for other users to see what the person did wrong. Not as an example, but because we are not children who need to have censored material.

FYI, with these sorts of trollish posts, we don't remove them because the language is too outrageous or because we think members can't handle it. It's because since the post is trolling for reactions, every time a new member comes into the thread to check for numbers, we'll get a fresh round of "WTF" posts and responses to it. Since we have members all over the world, that means this'll keep happening throughout the day.So to keep the thread somewhat on-topic (or at least not off-topic due to trolling) we remove the post.

I still remember someone predicting 70m TOTAL in summer box office podcast

[DAR]

I'm waiting for the remake of Song of the South

Not unless it gets some INCREDIBLE late legs.
