[Jack Nevada]

Hmm, yes. Numbers.

[baumer]

When Guru misses, sometimes he misses big time.  He predicted a 36 mill opening for Turtles.  It'll be interesting to read his recap today.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Very good for Turtles, but will lose a lot of screens this weekend.

I noticed that all the big time analysts severely under predicted Turtles. Probably because of Guardians I would assume.

[miketheavenger]

Hmm, yes. Numbers.

He needs to be on this thread.

 

On topic though: Another pretty good weekend. Turtles with a surprisingly strong opening and a good hold for GOTG.

[Alpha]

LOL at the James Cameron documentary.

 

Watch it get a 6,000x multiplier to become the highest grossing film of all time with $900 million DOM.

[MrPink]

Does anybody think Into the Storm did kinda okay all things considered? I was thinking 15 million, but it had actually a high teens opening in a competitive weekend

Pretty perfunctory recap from Guru today.

 

Compared to projections, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flew much higher than my $36M forecast while Into The Storm was very close to my $17M prediction.The Hundred-Foot Journey opened ahead of my $8M projection and Step Up All In came in under my $9M prediction.

Very good for Turtles, but will lose a lot of screens this weekend.

 

No it won't.

[Jandrew]

Top 12 last weekend $172.4. The weekend, $173.6M. Aug on fie.

Is this documentary what is taking that long for Avatar 2?

[Hatebox]

James Cameron proves once again that he's box office poison.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

No it won't.

I really hope it doesn't, but won't Expendables, Giver, and Cops take away a lot of screenings?

[MrPink]

One more thing, it pains me to see that the Hundred Foot Journey outopened Million Dollar Arm.

 

What. the. fuck.

Food fetishes and mid-life drama is every senior citizen's wet dream, so of course The Hundred Foot Journey was better than Million Dollar Arm.

Is this his recap?

Why would Turtles, which is making more money for the theaters than all the bottom feeders, lose screens when you can take it from Lucy, Apes, Jersey Boys, Get on Up and so on?
