baumer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Okay now that Chewy pointed out is was you. You deserve props for the call. But I can see why nobody will give you credit though. LOL Yea, but that's how it works around here, way too often. People give their opinions, criticize you for yours, then when they are proven wrong, they carry on like nothing was ever said. Not trying to toot my own horn, but when I'm wrong, I have no problem admitting it. This is just fun and games and I have never thought of myself as one of the strong prognosticators like Fake or Xiayun or even Shawn. But I do know how to do research and that is what I base MOST (not all, some are just gut calls) of my opinions on. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) September/October still has a couple of interesting titles that should be able to pretty good business (This Is Where I Leave You, A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Equalizer, Gone Girl, The Judge). But otherwise, yeah, things look pretty bleak between next weekend and the beginning of November. Edited August 9, 2014 by filmlover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yep, and I wouldn't be surprised to see GOTG drop another big drop next weekend either. The drop excluding previews would be under 50% despite TMNT breaking out. I say 40-45% drop next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvikk Lunsj Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 TMNT with 65M is looking at 160M+ total. It's going to royally fuck everyone in the BSG.I am glad I predicted a 145m total for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone could predict the entire run of any movie correctly, then there would be no fun in it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to joke about how people would disappear once a movie opens above or below their expectations. It all started for me in 2002 when I predicted that TTT would drop from FOTR. I made a prediction of 264. That was the start of my bad predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The doom is coming. The rest of August, September and October will be death. You never know. I know not everything can be a classic or even a box office hit, but sometimes you got to wonder why movies like "No Good Deed" and "Dolphin Tale 2" get greenlit and released. It's good in a sense that the industry is big and people get jobs but in terms of history, they are pretty much irrelevant. They may or may not make money during their BO run, probably will not sell many DVDs on home video or get downloaded much or streamed much or watched on TV much, and they'll get quickly replaced by every other thing coming out. What I'm saying is, unlike say something like Avatar, that apparently topped the Blu-Ray charts a couple weeks ago years after release, "No Good Deed" will probably be forgotten by everyone except the people who worked on it. It's not going to get a resurgence in audience or suddenly be widely appealing. Maybe if it's good, but lol at that possibility. Already a movie like "Endless Love" earlier this year, who even remembers that? It sold something like less than 150k in its first week, probably will sell less than 300k total, and has absolutely zero resale value after that. I guess you can make this comparison for everything about life including people you meet though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That's huge for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it fits very well into the story of the summer. ___________________________ Thus completes the rise to terror of the Three Headed Monster, the bane of all BOF members.
