Avatar 2 is going to open to $200 million+. There's no comparison.

LOOOOOOOOOOL

[Ethan Hunt]

Will that's kinda disappointing for If I Stay. Was hoping for 8.5-9M

Sorry, nothing is going to open to 200m in December for a very long time.

A number is reported even worse for If I Stay by Boxoffice.com. Box Office has it at reporting only a $5M Friday while Sin City 2 is at $4M and Where the Game Stands Tall is at $3.5M.

I was going to say we've only sold 59 tickets to Sin City all day so far. It's in our IDX(which seats 424), and the most sold for one show was 18. There was one show with only 4 people!

That's embarrassing for SC2. How's If I Stay and Where The Game Stands Tall doing at your theater?

[The Panda]

This week is pretty bad, next weekend is labor day so there should be some nice holds at least.  And then everyone can go take a 2 week vacation because no weekend number will be able to even get above Guardians preview numbers.

GOTG should win the weekend now. Awesome, hits 250M plus wins the weekend again. 

[Klingo]

Oh wow 10 million for Sin City?  Have no words to explain why or how this happened.

[cookie]

So Guardians has a legit shot at winning the weekend? Wow.

 

And LOL at Sin City. It really should have come out six years ago.

So people didn't want to see a sequel to a mediocre ten year old movie....I'm in shock.

[tommycruise]

Absolutely pathetic for sin city 2, 9 years of inflation + 3D and it can barely manage 1/3 of its predecessors gross

[druv10]

34% drop for GOTG from last Friday while TMNT down 49%. 

 

16.5-17M weekend for GOTG 

15-15.5M weekend for TMNT

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

The GOTG numbers are awesome! IIS is good.DEAR LORD SIN CITY 2 KILL IT FIRE!! (Except for Eva Green, who would probably start the fire and walk all over its ashes. She needs better management!)

[AdamKendall]

Sin City was one of my favorite films of 2005 ... and I don't know if I'll even see this one.  9 years is just TOO long.  If it came out even by 2008 or 2009, it would have done 'good'.

 

This is just horrendous #

The drop in attendance must be atrocious. Like it'll be lucky to retain 1/4th of the original.
