kayumanggi Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 This opened 3% higher than the first one in Australia, a territory that mirrors N. America most of the time. I'm expecting this to finish around the first stateside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Meh, this film was okay. Some interesting ideas in the water that aren't dwelled on much (more so than the first film). Nice photography, stronger supporting cast than the previous film, but the first half is slow and throwaway zombie fluff. Seriously zombies are not scary any more, stop doing the old "dude walks into a dark cave JUMPSCARE ZOMBIES!" thing. Movie picks itself up towards the last 45 minutes. It does at least explain a lot of surrounding info missing from the first one, and has a satisfying twist sparking the long ending sequence. Good atmosphere... but it suffers the same problems as the first one: meek direction, generic script, and a crap performance from the mighty talents of the charisma-vacuum that is Dylan O'Brien. A lot of the movie is just kids gawping at stuff, and some of the characters are so underdeveloped that when some potentially sad things happen to them and you're meant to feel some sort of emotion, you just end up thinking, "Who was that guy anyway?" There are some neat setpieces though. A really neat scene in a nightclub that feels like it's been lifted from a much better and more interesting film, and made me wish the rest of the film was that good - but a great scene nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it in 3D? It was good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 No, I didn't watch it in 3D. I'd never choose to make my viewing experience more uncomfortable... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It is super weird and points towards massive bombage for MR2. Or a huge breakout for Black Mass and MR2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Tbh if MR2 does 35M I will be happy. That's around what I'm thinking for both. The Black Mass hype has been real, the TV spots are all over the place and quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesofToday Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Tbh if MR2 does 35M I will be happy. I won't. If it does 35m, it means it will likely do less than 100m DOM, which is less than the first one. Looks like Black Mass is going to be the bright star next weekend.

Avatree Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I won't. If it does 35m, it means it will likely do less than 100m DOM, which is less than the first one. Looks like Black Mass is going to be the bright star next weekend. Before this weekend I was thinking 38M, now maybe 41M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Black Mass: $53 million MR2: $41 million Next weekend HT2: $42 million Everest: $30 million (after its IMAX debut) 10/2 Martian: $46 million 10/16 Goosebumps: $37 million Bridge of Spies: $28 million Crimson Peak: $22 million 10/23 Steve Jobs: $24 million Paranormal Activity: $21 million Fall 2015 is just looking huge, at this point.

WrathOfHan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I doubt Goosebumps will do 37M otherwise those are pretty good predictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Black Mass: $53 million MR2: $41 million Great minds think alike. I can't really comment on BLACK MASS's BO as it has had no marketing here due to different release schedules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I don't think Bridge of Spies will open that high, Steve Jobs will probably open higher than that IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I don't think Bridge of Spies will open that high, Steve Jobs will probably open higher than that IMO Spielberg can't even open 25M+ any more? Lincoln, a drama with no big star, opened to 21M... Spielberg+Hanks is a known winning combination. People will turn up provided that the marketing can make them aware of the film.
