Weekend numbers, version 2: With RTH Sunday, new projections TMNT 65.5, GOTG 42.2

[Jack Nevada]

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.

Tele has seen it three times already.

When TMNT opens above HTTYD2 by $15 million, that's when I know the gates of hell have opened.

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

 

What. the. fuck.

Dat Helen Mirren effect.

[CJohn]

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

Of course not. What the fuck. The movies that will lose screens are Lucy, Get On Up and Hercules.

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?

Good point. Not thinking straight today at all. Edited August 10, 2014 by Captain Jack Sparrow

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.

I wonder who goes to theathers and decides that Step Up is watchable.

I dunno, the six or seven people per screening?

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

WB needs to learn that these kind of cheap movies need to open in late August. It could have done 20M+ over Labor Day weekend, IMO.

People say the most random things on here sometimes.

 

The movie just opened, lol.

Trying to think of something on-topic.....Planes 2 is performing like a turd.

Yes.

The OS audience.  The last one made over 100M OS, this one already made almost 40M there.

I think the opening was pretty good for a mid-August disaster movie.

 

Especially considering the marketing was very light on plot or characters.

Holy shit!  You're right.  This thing is a beast internationally.  Seriously.

[Alpha]

Even though Step Up All In did terrible, I guess the franchise will keep living overseas.

 

Once again, the OS audience seems to be the driving force once more.

[baumer]

I'll be seeing ITS before Turtles.  That last shot in the trailer, the planes being sucked into the wind, has me salivating to see it.

You should enjoy it! Very fun movie!I am hoping for some decent OS numbers. At least 75 mil +
