Weekend numbers thread:TMNT: 28.4 GOTG: 24.7 LBC. 17.7 Ex3: 16.2

[Blackout]

See I don't think releasing their films in non-crowded release dates is 'smart', I think its just using common sense.

 

Slightly more common sense than other studios 

[baumer]

Woohoo, go Guardians! Anyone have any idea what next weekend's drop may be?

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Next weekend (this weekend) the drop will probably be under 40%.  It has a good chance at being number one again this weekend.

well other studios are still dumb enough to think summer is the only place to get big grosses. No-one learned from previous blockbusters like Alice or THG. If people want to see a film, they will see it regardless of the time of year its released. Instead they think its best to cram a shit load of blockbusters into one month failing to realise the competition will hurt their films more than the time of year will boost sales.

At this point I'm going to guess that it will be simillar to this weekends maybe a little better.

WB has. Their future DC release dates now include March, April, and August.

the fact it took studios this long to realise this is pretty dumb in itself.

What, they don't have Internet there?

[baumer]

No, Shay says he is from Romania....I think that's where he said he was from.

Ahh, I see. At least he could've changed his location.

I have to say Im amazed and impressed at how well TMNT held this weekend. I saw it early and was in the 65% drop camp from the start. Looking back, Im not sure which is more impressive to me: how well it has performed vs how badly I underestimated it.In the future I need to do a better job of recognizing how being even slightly out of the target market can impact WoM and perception of marketing effectiveness. Just because 11 year old tomboys dont want to see it doesnt mean 11 yearold boys also dont want to see it.

I'm thinking roughly a 35% drop for Guardians this coming weekend. If it somehow manages to drop sub 35%, it's probably gonna leg it out to $300M DOM.

Why? Shay is awesome.

You mean 11 year old girls?

He's banned right now...so if this is shay, and the ips match up, he'll be gone again.
