Tau Ceti Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It had 3 weeks of over 40% drop and just one week under 40%, that is not very good, that is just okay. If it had under 30% drop every week so far, than I would call it very good. And it's under-performing, so 102m was not what was expected of it in the first place so all in all okay run. In percentage terms you don't think EoT holds have been very good for summertime? I think they've been excellent. Only Malf has been more consistent. Regardless of opening, getting near a 3.5 multiplier is difficult. You're completely right, of course, that this is off a small base and it's a weak performer on the whole. Also agree with your point about theater counts -- continued drops are the one thing that may short-circuit the $100 million mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 How is TF4 the "underdog" in any way, shape, or form? In real life? no. But on this board, it's hated by more than just about any other movie. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Answer this: Should people root for movies, because they are underdog? Can't they just hope it does bad, because they don't like it? You have to accept that everyone will not be like you. People root for a movie for different reasons. I don't expect everyone to like the same movies for the same reasons. That would be boring. It's just funny and annoying at the same time when you liked a movie that was hated by most. You could tell people did try to come up with every biased judgment, twisted infos and double-standard to bring it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 EOT has had "good" legs, but it's all relative of course. Far easier to get a good multiplier when you have a small OW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many didn't expect Maleficent to do as well as it is doing and in that case it has performed really and had very good legs, but EoT was supposed to do better than what it is doing. But I understand how hard 3,5 multiplier is, but that in a small scale, doesn't make it good run, as you said. The drops have been really big everytime, it's scary.

Dementeleus Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 In real life? no. But on this board, it's hated by more than just about any other movie. And yet no one (except Jack) fought to support "the underdog" when it was TRANSCENDENCE, or I FRANKENSTEIN, or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone apart from Jack watch those movies? To defend a movie, you need to watch it. Same thing if you are criticizing a movie as well. I don't think Transcendence or I, Frankenstein had much of either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When player X plays a match against player Y @player Y home ground, player X is the underdog. TF4 = player X, the other movies that people considered to be better than TF4 = player Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawasal Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It's pretty tough to fight for movies you don't like. It's also stupid IMO to fight for a movie you don't like, if it's doing bad numbers. At least fight for movies you don't like that are doing great numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
