Chewy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm still absolutely stunned that Get on Up dropped harder than Hercules this weekend. It's because of the baumer summer game. These sorts of things only happen when they screw everyone over in the summer game 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Can we get more input here since public opinion will decide this, have Dawn's holds been acceptable or underwhelming? John in his wisdom seems to think it has "fallen apart" but my argument is based in similar movies in its sub genre and good OW and 2nd weekend that it's holds are standard, the one this weekend was good. It's gonna flirt with a 3x multiplier, it's doing fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Serious ?, how many Transformers will there be? These OS #s are just an endless profit scheme, they can cut the budget and keep hauling massive gains. Bay will never want to leave getting those checks, he never had artistic integrity so I guess I'm done hating him. All about the $$$, I was hoping we'd see it fail miserably domestic this year but it pulled a Pirates 4 and held better than a lot expected.

Thrylos 7 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Dawn's holds have been mediocre, at least if you were here on opening weekend when a number of people were saying it could flirt with 300m after the buzz around the great reviews. After seeing it, I never expected it to come close to that though because much of the movie is relatively slow paced with the emphasis being on a dynamic script/characters over spectacle. Yes, being smart and thoughtful can hurt boxoffice unfortunately, which Bayformers and Maleficent benefited a lot of not being. Planet of the apes ' franchise WHOLE story arc is silly . Dawn looked horrible in the trailers , plus it humiliates "dawn of the dead" a really great movie . I am surprised it even did that good. If dawn is an example of an intellectual movie that doesn't do better cause people want action packed movies , then the movie industry has a serious problem .

Mockingjay Raphael Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Both Cap 2 and The Lego Movie.Yep! I'm really worried About the next Transformers in USA. I think that even 200M will be hard. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could see an increase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's going to finish $105m lower than TF3 domestically. That's a huge drop.It'll increase overseas by about 40m from TF3. That means outside of China, it will drop about $110m-$120m overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't like FF where people never got the Vin Diesel sequel. They've had their Shia sequels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I doubt it. This isn't like FF where people never got the Vin Diesel sequel. They've had their Shia sequels Couldn't you argue the same thing for X-Men though? I mean, we had 5-6 Wolverine movies but it increased once they combined casts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Considering how he bad mouthed the movies and how he really needs to get his shit together, I don't think we should ever expect Shia to appear in another Transformers movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It doesn't really matter if TF5 decreases in the US and overseas, it's gonna make a huge splash in China. That's all that really matters now considering overseas box office, actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
