#ED Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Why not? Thur drops are normal and Apes 2 even though it doesn't look like it will be a huge opener will probably be taking some bigger screens etc from all the hold overs.Yup Edited July 10, 2014 by #ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 May the movies you like underperform too. Because I believe in cosmic justice. Of course it will, just to piss me off. The odds are never in your favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Fox seems to be botching the Apes release. Poor marketing plus a late preview showtime. If you're gonna go before midnight, you might as well go for primetime at 7 or 8 PM. At least the movie itself seems to be very well made, so hopefully the WOM will help it overcome some of the mistakes by Fox. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Fox has just failed at marketing Dawn. The TV spots are cringe worthy and the trailers didn't look incredibly interesting. The thing which has got me hyped for Dawn are the audience reactions and the critics loving it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The odds are never in your favor.You like only one movie?Because if you do, I feel sorry for you.Just for the record, I love more than one movie and a few of them are sure to beat yours.

The thing which has got me hyped for Dawn are the audience reactions and the critics loving it. Yeah, I really enjoyed the first movie and felt the marketing for the sequel was pretty bad. It sounds like there is a much better movie hidden under the bad marketing, but we'll see this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I find it fascintating the how closely the Shrek/Pirates/Spidey/TF comparisons are. Bay and Paramount don't care with that +250m from China, they are laughing their way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tau Ceti Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Transformers drops -52% week-to-week. Considering that last Wednesday was itself an incredibly shitty day, that's quite a weak performance. Tammy down -59% but that's forgivable given that last Wed was its opening. Edge matches Malf with -24%. I'd calculate them all but I should be working... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Bay and Paramount don't care with that +250m from China, they are laughing their way to the bank. They much rather have $100m more in the U.S. than in China. Not just because of the far greater cut from theatrical but because ancillary revenues (Video, TV, VOD etc) are much greater in the U.S. and are somewhat dependent on the degree of theatrical success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They opened DOFP at 10pm as well so it looks like a Fox strategy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because of the far greater cut from theatrical but because ancillary revenues (Video, TV, VOD etc) are much greater in the U.S. and are somewhat dependent on the degree of theatrical success. But they have a much better deal this time around in China. I think they are getting about 36% of the box office. And the DVD/BR/TV deal isn't necessarily going to be affected by the gross. This movie might sell very well on HV. The box office has nothing to do with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were able to come up with much better marketing later in the campaign for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TV deal is directly tied into box office. Home video is another deal altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
