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

[AdamKendall]

That is a good Saturday number for GOTG. Is 100 M still possible?

No

 

... would guess if it did 32.8, the top end would be 96-97

Oh I can agree with you on that!

I guess North Americans will now care more for the environment because of Groot. We are Groot. lol

The mid 90m OW summer movies streak continues this year!

[eXtacy]

Dat increase!What the...

 

 

Yay!

[Mojoguy]

Dat increase!What the...

We should thank the families for the great Sat increase for GOTG.

[Deep Wang]

I can. Also that Trank's script has been rewritten, adapted and revised more times than one of Obama's speeches. There's a story(Trank), a story and screenplay(Slater), a screenplay(Kinberg) and "revisions"(Nowlin).With that much tinkering going on, I'm pretty sure Fox is in control of this production.

Pffft. You think that's a lot of rewrites? If that's it, that's honestly NOT a lot of tinkering.

What movies did see in Imax last year and this year,

Last year I saw Star Trek, and this year I saw Divergent and SpiderMan (it's not really what I WANT to see but rather what's playing when I'm there)

With 32M Saturday the OW should be 96-97M.... . Crazy.

 

Those are poor jumps for Lucy and specially Hercules. Lucy seems like a Friday movie, but Hercules should increase like 35-40%...

[kayumanggi]

This opening higher than CA:TWS is a shock for me. Crazy.

[kayumanggi]

I saw HERCULES last night. Not terrible. Not great.

I wouldn't worry too much about Lucy, it has a $40M budget and it's 96% locked to cross $100M DOM. Hercules on the other hand costs $100M, at the end of the day I think it'll be saved overseas. Both mov Edited August 3, 2014 by Godzilla likes Tom Cruise

Me too. I consider Captain America to be the most popular Avenger after Iron Man these days, so for GOTG to reach Cap 2's level is pretty shocking.

[eXtacy]

I think this year proves that Marvel can open a movie pretty much any date they want.

That's really early for Deadline. I guess they are trying to get the jump on Nikki, lol.

[Fake]

32m, if it materializes, would be an awesome jump, and will pretty much guarantee 250m.

Deadline saw Rth's Sat numbers, so they threw up the average on their website.

[kayumanggi]

An August film winning summer? I am Groot.

While I would normally agree, this is the shit summer of shit legs, so who knows :/

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

It's a wonder that FC and DOFP were as good as they were. FOX must have decided to take a hands off approach with the X-men these days. Seems to be working since DOFP has revitalized the franchise!

 

 

How do you think they lured Singer back? By telling him they'd be hovering over him?

 

Singer is proven, Trank is not.
