Alpha Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 It would need about a 75% jump that.Which is entirely possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Saw it opening day in IMAX....so i can express true feelings for it. It would need about a 75% jump that. I see it more like: 12.15 17 12.8 42M....55% drop. I would be happy with anything close to TWS weekend, its already up a good ~18m on it and that gap will widen with following weekdays Edited August 8, 2014 by eXtacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Then GOTG opening weekend # would have reported as $83.4m which sounds less impressive than $94.6m and T4 couldn't have even fudged it's way to a $100m w/e. They all play by the same rules. yes, but the rules change over time to make OWs more impressive than they really are If most movies start Thursday, why not have a 4 day weekend like for instance in Germany? Why keep the illusion that it is only 3 days? I think they want new No1 movies every weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Marvel's so "winning" atm. For the haters, that's a hard motherf**king fact of life. But it's a fact their asses will have to get realistic about. Marvel took a silly-looking, relatively unknown property, about a machine gun-wielding raccoon and a monosyllabic tree, and turned it into what might become a Transformers-beater. I mean, how the f**k can you hate on that?? Except I'm not hating on Marvel. I'm just expressing that I did not like GOTG. Sorry if that bothers you. I have stated on many occasions that Marvel is God like right now and they are basically Midas at this point. But I am allowed to dislike something that others like. Or is that against your rules? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Which is entirely possible. Give me another movie in the last 10 years beside Apes that did that on its second weekend in August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 55% drop would be fine by me. Don't see what the big deal is about the Thursday gross. 4 movies opened last night. What did people expect it to do? LOL It'll recover decently enough over the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Purge with 0.52m -26% So It Goes with 0.34m -19% All these drops are horrid They probably, like other more than 2 week old films lost evening screens last night not just showings or being moved to smaller screens. Just an early jump on what they're going to lose on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 There were people in the Wednesday thread talking about a SUB 50% drop for GOT, even though they knew that 11 mill of the weekend number is from Thursday. Now this 7.6 brings it down to reality. and when it increases less than 65%, that reality will be in their face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Well the last time Thursday was this shit, 2nd weekend for Apes which had 3 new wide openers, everything rebounded extremely strongly on Friday with big 60-85% increases. Heres hoping because the box office could use another good weekend Edited August 8, 2014 by eXtacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like how Thursday night previews are counted towards the weekend for every movie this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic total now stands at $57.76M. #Hercules Down 23% I thought Herc would be this years RIPD. It looks like it will make about 65-70 mill, not great but not the complete bomb I thought it would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSaber Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 A drop around Captain would be great especially in the summer with inflated weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
