Weekend Numbers: GOTG - 94M (PG 180) [25.5M Sunday (Spatula) Cancel the Godzilla legs!]

[baumer]

Why Baumer? Why?Fuck it. I think I'll go see GOTG again tomorrow.

 

It was just too generic for me.  Unfunny, didn't care for Thanos.  

[Jandrew]

He was in it for maybe 3 minutes...

He was in it for maybe 3 minutes...

 

Yes, and?

Update: 

 

All in a day’s work — Saving the universe and saving the day — James Gunn’s fun superhero actioner Guardians of the Galaxy launched with a $37.95M Friday (which includes those $11.2M Thursday late nights) for Disney/Marvel helping to breathe life into the box office after a seven-week slump. Depending on family moviegoing today, the movie could play anywhere right now from $92.5M to $95.5M, which means it could end up higher than the opening of Disney/Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95M). If it drops 15% on Saturday, we’re looking at the higher end of the estimate.

I'am happy with that number. What a rollar coaster opening day, its been fun. Hopefully a few more surprises to come

[DeeCee]

Yes, and?

Why mention him? O-O-H Child feel the vibe.

[Clef Ment]

No 100M but still nice and a lot higher than initial predictions.

[DeeCee]

Why Baumer? Why?Fuck it. I think I'll go see GOTG again tomorrow.

Actually it's 6 minutes into today.

[Jandrew]

Yes, and?

Just sounds silly to not care for a character that was in the movie for a shorter amount of time than it takes to get your groceries rung up at Walmart, but its your opinion, have it. I could understand Ronan, but Thanos hate makes me scratch my head. Edited August 2, 2014 by Jandrew

90m+ openers OD without previews:

 

Cap 2: 26.7m (95m)

ASM2: 26.5m (91.6m)

Godzilla: 29.1m (93.2m)

DOFP: 27.4m (90.8m, deflated Saturday?)

TF4: 33m (100m)

GOTG: 26.8m

11.2 + 26.75 + 29.425(+10%) + 23.245(-21%) = 90.62

should get to 90m but don't think it's a lock.

By tomorrow Guardians will enter IMDb's top 250, wonder where it peaks before it starts to drop.

Fantastic for Guardians of the Galaxy.

[Wildfire]

So TA3 may be titled Avengers and Guardians Assemble ?

there`s got to be a crossover for sure  ... with Thanos in the title somewhere

[miketheavenger]

So it was closer to the highend. Nice! Someone update the title, please.

[eXtacy]

This is actually hilarious, that showing which played Rise of the Guardians was done 3 times before they finally put on Guardians of the Galaxy. Fun read.

Your math looks more spot on than Anita's who seems to keep forgetting that we're in the summer and that it helps to cut away previews when calculating % rises and drop for Sat

No, that's what QT will have you believe, but he ripped off TMR and basically flipped the bird to everyone on Kill Bill.

Kill Bill was in production for 155 days and after that spent a good while in the editing room before the split was made (July 2003). It was being worked on long before Matrix Reloaded came out. Edited August 2, 2014 by 4815162342
