[John Marston]

Um, Iron Man 3?

Lol. I guess not then

[wileECoyote]

Way to go EoT.  Only a 39% drop despite losing 45% in TC.  Liking the number for Chef as well.

[baumer]

Chef has an outside shot at 30M.

[Godzilla]

98+ is locked for Edge. I think $100M+ is definitely happening.

I'm so happy for it.

[catlover]

Lol. I guess not then

 

But Imagine Dragons do appear in a lot of soundtracks for blockbusters. That's actually interesting.

[KATCH-2D2]

98+ is locked for Edge. I think $100M+ is definitely happening.

WB should push this and Godzilla together.

[Impact]

That's the most bizarre record I've ever seen.

Even more so then how before Monsters vs. Aliens, Kramer vs. Kramer was the highest grossing vs. film

[Godzilla]

WB should push this and Godzilla together.

Godzilla might be at $199M now.

[Tau Ceti]

It's too late in the game to change its general trajectory, but I thought TF4 actually did well if the 10 mil figure holds up.  Decent weekend for Tammy as well -- I think you have to call it a hit.

 

DUFE had far and away the worst drop at -67%. Three weekends in and it has yet to meet its production budget.

 

Also impressed by EoT. This is the second time in three weeks it's seen its PTA increase.

[Ezen Baklattan]

American Hustle is the highest grossing film where Bradley Cooper dry humps Louis CK.

[BadAtGender]

Even more so then how before Monsters vs. Aliens, Kramer vs. Kramer was the highest grossing vs. film

 

It still is, adjusted for inflation.

[Impact]

The Croods is the highest grossing caveman film, before it was the Flintstones.

 

True Grit is the highest grossing film with Jeff Bridges is wearing an eye patch.

[John Marston]

Oh , tF4 is now the highest grossing Stanley Tucci film worldwide. There

[wileECoyote]

Chef has an outside shot at 30M.

 

Don't know its budget but it's gotta have paid for itself and more a while back.   PTA is climbing again so despite shedding more theaters, holds should be good.

 

 

98+ is locked for Edge. I think $100M+ is definitely happening.

 

WB will push it to 100 I believe.  It's coasting nicely after the hit from Apes 2

[baumer]

Rambo First Blood Part II is the highest grossing film with Frank Stallone having a song in the credits.

[Ethan Hunt]

Transformers 4 has now passed Catching Fire worldwide to become the highest grossing movie with Imagine Dragons on the soundtrack

LOL

[Impact]

Gran Torino is the highest grossing film that the Clint sings in. (But I thought they asked him never to sing again after Paint Your Wagon)

[baumer]

I think we are heading into derailment territory here.  We, as mods, should put a stop to this right now before more people start telling us that Armageddon is the highest grossing film with an asteroid the size of Texas coming towards them.

Shanghai Surprise is the highest grossing film in which an Italian-American woman who´s best known for singing  plays a missionary abroad.
