Weekend Numbers...pg 29 (Lucy 44M, Herc 29...big drops for most holdovers)

[Impact]

Tammy's bad WOM showed up pretty fast as well.

[John Marston]

In the Age of social media, it actually does. 

 

 

not sure, a movie like Godzilla played very well over the weekend but fell apart later. 

[Impact]

Well after having some of the darkest Marvel films this year-looks like the most lighthearted will be next week.

(Which is what I will see next)

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Check Bruno OW. And The Purge OW. 

 

 

Bruno was fan frenzy and The Purge is an R rated horror film. Not really comparable. with 16.5m 40 is going down, IMO.

[Dr Awesome]

Wow, good for Lucy!

[baumer]

Yea Lucy will hit 40...and if the 16.5 holds it could get close to 42/43.

I for one am pleased to see an actress hit that special thing where...she can open a movie. Go ScarJo.

Go ScarJo.

This calls for celebration.

Bad word of mouth? The movie will finish with a 4 multiplier. I'd hardly call that bad word of mouth in action.

You just know how to make me smile.

Hmm. I am not sure if this opening is really about audiences desperately wanting to see Scarjo as a lead.

It's not a mega budget movie...sure it doesn't mean she's the Tom Cruise from 1980s/1990s of actresses, but you cannot deny she's part of this success.I say...this says she can open a movie. Not any movie...but she can certainly open one. This isn't a "insert any actress it does the same money" situation.

[Incarnadine]

I saw Lucy at 3:30 today, theater was 2/3 full out of over 400 seats. The reactions after it ended seemed to be either positive, or confused. I didn't hear any really negative reactions.

Personally I loved it, although I would have changed the last few minutes slightly.

I'll almost certainly see it again on a discount Tuesday.

 

Edit: I have to add this. I've always thought Analeigh Tipton would be hot as hell if she put on a few pounds, and it looks like she has. I wish she had a bit more screen time in Lucy

Of course you think that

Makes no difference. She has now opened a movie based solely on her name. 

[Sam]

You just know how to make me smile.

I do, don't I?

Sorry but Majority of people still go by word of mouth , not word of post, not word of tweet, and not word of like, it takes a while for people to call their friend, hang out again, and decide do you want to see so and so with that chick in it. "Well so and so said" etc

The only time I've ever felt like there was insta-wom in action was on Avengers OW, but I'm sure I was just imagining it.

Nope.You are in fact sane.
