Mojo is also 20 million short on Transformers China gross..maybe they added that.

What is special about this summer is that none of the big tentpoles flopped a la battleship, lone ranger.Maybe edge of tommorow but barely

The worst part is their main news contributors fan the flames. JoshWilding is always making a post about Marvel beating D.C. etc. I called him out on twitter a few days ago for inaccurately reporting Cap2's gross and he basically shrugged it off.

Josh Wilding is an idiot. Nailbiter is slightly better. Frankly, SHH is much better in terms of moderation and cutting down on trolling.

LOL at Expendables 3 numbers. The leak killed it WW.

 

Fucking great for Lets Be Cops. 

 

The Give flopped. No surprise there. 

[miketheavenger]

Congratulations to Neighbors for hitting $150m domestic. Pretty strong number for an original R-Rated Comedy.

[baumer]

Sitting down to watch Giver. Know absolutely nothing aboit it.

Turtles was adorable.

 

GOOO Turtle. Get money

[FilmBuff]

Wow, just got out of Boyhood. What an unusual and incredible movie. Nothing like I've ever seen before. Linklater deserves a lot of credit. He sure does have some creative ideas for movies. Little bit older than the protagonist, but a lot of the movie made me feel nostalgic. Reminded me a lot of Forrest Gump. 

 

Definite A+ movie.

Saw TMNT today. I enjoyed it. lol Non-stop action and fun. I understand why kids love it. The mocap was surprisingly good.

Ha ha. Nice one.

I'm now in the 300m camp for Guardians. People love this film.

Agreed. It's going to Skyfall its way there.

Any interesting meltdowns? Or everyone looked at Exp3 Friday number and it was expected?

Why would there be meltdowns?

[TServo2049]

Josh Wilding...oh, right, he's the fucker who read the THR article throwing out Disney among a completely speculative list of other possible bidders for Time Warner, and wrote a rumor blurb "Disney may try to buy Time Warner, this means there's a real possibility that the Marvel and DC universes could be merged!"That's the only thing I've read from him, and he pisses me off just for that.

I mean I really don't care that it flopped. I kind of wanted it to overperform so Summer 2014 can save more face, but I really didn't care much.

Meltdowns over what? Not many expected Exp3 to do much above 18-20M (even in BSG, a majority said below 22). And I don't think we have diehard Expendables fans here anyway.Mojoguy had a mini rant about Turtles being #1 for 2 weeks ahead of GOTG but that is about as crazy as the thread got.

The fact that Neighbors is within $100m of the top movie (as of now) tells you everything you need to need to know about this summer. Some surprises but overall pretty meh.

This sums up the reaction.

EXPENDABLES 3 ($16.2m) played 66% 25 years old and older. That PG-13 worked miracles with the kids. I hate being right.
