baumer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well I'm glad to know 95% of this forum disagrees with you. My advice to all of you who choose to quote this and respond to it in the future is to read the page before it. I'm responding to someone, not making a blanket statement out of thin air. Some of you are very strange. You find my posts and then attack them, without thinking of the context first. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyneOh1040 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) As a whole, this weekend is the most shocking of the year so far. I thought TNMT would struggle to hit 30 a few months ago and had it pegged between 40-45. And while after last weekend and the amazing reception the GOTG isn't as surprising, if a few months ago anyone would have said this was going to beat CA2 second weekend they would have been dragged through these forums. Into the Storm looked like a MASSIVE bomb to me and its going to open north of 17. I mean, even The Hundred Foot Journey is going to have a respectable opening considering subject matter and theater count. This year is weird.

baumer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Actually close to 65% so not a bad Friday jump. Which is pretty much what I called in the first place. So I guess that means I was right, and you were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Pretty much. But still great. A little above average for Superhero flicks this year.It's holding a bit better than Captain America 2 which is really good. I see it surpassing $270M. It'll have to have MAGNIFICENT drops from now on for it to have a fighting chance at $300M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I guess the TMNT fans are, you know, doing the exact same thing they were complaining about earlier? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I thought we were putting numbers in the thread title/page number now? Unless there was drama, i dont want to scroll through 65 pages. Could someone post on page 1 please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Ok. But I'll take my 250M+ prediction vs your sub 80M total. Best 10 day haul of the year if estimates hold up, its locked for 250m. Congrats on your club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Respectable OD for Into the Storm....The fact they put it in over 3,400 theaters makes me think they were expecting more. Why Deadline thinks it'll have a 3 x multiplier is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Ok. But I'll take my 250M+ prediction vs your sub 80M total. Of course you would say that. But that's not what we commented on, is it. We were discussing who would be right about the drop this weekend. Must be hard for you to admit you were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Deadline thinks it'll have a 3 x multiplier is confusing. I am honestly surprised it didn't pull a Pompeii and bombed with a 10M OW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 I think that's a great hold for "Guardians". I don't think people should be disappointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
