el sid Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I honestly have no idea. But it seems to be dropping by about 50% from Ex2 so unless China bucks the trend, it will probably fall by that much. So 150-160 mill is my guess. No no it will be higher. I thought the same first but today I dared to look at boxofficemojo and it is not doing that badly. I have a little trick now, I compare Ex3 to Ex1 and in many countries it is on the same level. I know GB and Russia are much lower this time but Ex1 did not too well in Mexico, Brazil, Italy and so on. And the first numbers from Mex and Peru are quite good so perhaps the oversea numbers will stay the same. And then...if the dear Chinese people help...

Johnny Wiseau Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You know I think, it's a conspiracy theory in me. I think there is a group of people out there that do not like Mel Gibson to succeed in any movie so they did this to sabotage Mel.I remember when they were making Hangover 3 or 2, I think. Someone mentioned Mel and I remembered some people refused to work with him. So who knows, what other movies that you can think of, that leak a good digital copy like this? Just a thought. same guys who got offended by his drunken comments? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Shawn was the writer of today's text to the daily BO report 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Returns to First Place with $2.6 Million on Wednesday; 'Turtles' Adds $2.4 MillionAugust 21, 2014 06:55 AMby Shawn Robbins Guardians of the Galaxy pushed across the $230 million threshold yesterday with a 46 percent Wednesday-to-Wednesday decline for $2.6 million. The eventual summer box office champion has earned $231.7 million through 20 days of release, or 12 percent more than Captain America: The Winter Soldier and 8 percent more than Transformers: Age of Extinction. Paramount reports that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles added $2.41 million on Wednesday, down 53 percent from the same day last week. That gives the reboot a 13-day domestic haul of $126.5 million--19 percent ahead of where G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra stood at the same point five years ago. Fox's Let's Be Cops earned $1.77 million on Wednesday, down 66 percent from its opening day one week ago. The comedy has tallied $32.6 million to date and trails the pace of 2008's Pineapple Express by 36 percent. The Giver took in $1.12 million on Wednesday, pushing its 6-day haul up to $16.3 million. The young adult adaptation is running 20 percent ahead of the pace of The Host. Rounding out the top five, The Expendables 3 posted $1.085 million yesterday, giving it a 6-day domestic cume of $19.9 million. Unfortunately, the three-quel trails the pace of its predecessor by 46 percent at the same point in the release cycle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You guys can laugh all you want but this failure by the Expendables is all about the leak. It might have dropped domestically but not at the rate that it has. This was going to be a 250-300 million dollar grosser WW. Despite him saying 3 Expendables is all he wanted to make I'd like to see him make a 4th if for no other reason then to go out on a high note and end the series in a manner worthy of the series first entry. Give me ESTABLISHED ACTION HERO ICONS OF YESTERYEAR yet to appear. We know who those could be. Leave out MMA and WWE athletes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Lionsgate is having an awful year so far. The Step Up and Expendables franchises are dead, and join the Red franchise in death. Everything not named Divergent has tanked and everything not named Hunger Games will tank until the end of the year. Red should have never been released inside the Summer. It was a ridiculous decision. Step Up should have come out on Labor Day weekend, and 2 weeks before OS, instead of coming out in the middle of so much competition. Expendables is another different thing. The leak killed it. Edited August 21, 2014 by CJohn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviedweeb Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 No, he has said before that he'd like to end it at three. And he has other things on the go. He's already made another dramatic film with Oscar potential (from what I have read) and he just signed on to play a mobster. The two films are called Reach Me and Scarpa. Stallone has made more than enough money to last 20 lifetimes so this notion that he needs to make more Expendables films is not true.[/quote As a fan I am glad to hear that. Shouldn't have assumed and will b glad to c him show his non-action talents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
