Maze Runner made 100 DOM. I still don't know how that happened. That movie was boring as hell.

 

Still about 20 times better than 5thWave.

 

If there's any justice this should make 60m WW max.

 

But that would still make it a "hit", because it looks like it had a 25m budget.

 

PS: Haha, hadn't seen last post on previous page.

The budget for this is really low, especially for a Sci Fi movie.

Aren't the 5th Wave books bestsellers? If this does well OS, I can see them doing the sequel.

[angeldelmito]

they should really start making tv shows based off of YA novels and put them on MTV or ABC Fam-whoops, I mean 'Freeform'. There's no room for them on the big screen anymore. 

[Mojoguy]

They just remade The Mortal Instruments and put it on ABC Family. I heard it really sucks, even worse than the movie!

Also we have The Vampire Diaries which has been out for years.

They won't get adapted.

 

Although, I could see this doing... okay for itself. Budget was only 38M, so even 100M WW is a success (which it'll do easily).

 

Considering that The Mortal Instruments failed to make 100m, I don't know if I'd say The 5th Wave will make 100m, that easily, just saying!

tbh the story of the show is better than the movie (because it was a better adaptaion) but the rest is true, the acting, script, vfx, score, everything in the movie is better than the show. So far, at least. 

 

It might be an unpopular opinion, but aesthetically, the City of Bones fuckin nailed it.

[angeldelmito]

but anyways lemme get back on topic

Haha true. I mean, 5th Wave looks better than Mortal Instruments from a non teen girl standpoint, and it'll probably fare a bit better OS, but Dom isn't doing much either way. 40M total is what I'm expecting.

16 / 41 / 96ww, is my current prediction.

[Mojoguy]

Looks like all the marketing is going for that Disaster movie audience, which is generally huge OS.

It might even work...

With that, if the budget is indeed 38M, the film should at least come very close to breaking even.

 

15/40/113WW

Not sure that'll be enough for Sony to greenlight a sequel, but I've seen worse unnecessary sequels to teen novels happen before. Cough Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, cough.

Sorry, out of likes

 

But no, this isn't getting a sequel unless is does 130-150+WW. Sea of Monsters was made because Lightning Thief at least did well in North America and wasn't just an OS run.

That being said, 5th Wave would have to not be a domestic flop either.

That's a shame.

 

I think 5th Wave will do okay numbers. It's released in January, and it's budget isn't very high. At worse it'll be a write-up for Sony.

Interesting weekend upcoming methinks.

 

5th Wave vs Grandpa vs Boy. Honestly, they'll all probably do meh to bad #'s but I always like when there are a bunch of mid budget wildcards coming out.

Most anticipated of this weekend:

1. Dirty Grandpa

2. 5th Wave

3. The Boy

 

....sigh, this is going to be a rough start.

[angeldelmito]

Oh, hey The 5th Wave's RT score went up to a 33% and then back down to a 29%. Looks like it's going to stay Rotten.

This weekend is pretty much the definition of a dump weekend.

Yea I know  But considering I'm not exactly the person who can the same opinion as the critic consensus all the time, I may just end up liking one or two of the movies this weekend.
