Bomb City : A flop to kill for.

[Jessie]

With this strong hold plus Labor Day weekend boost, 300M is back on for GOTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think 300m was on after last weekend number. It needed 15m this weekend to keep it in sight. The real target is 303m, then it will have the best multiplier out of all the MCU movies. Edited August 23, 2014 by jessie

Hope IIS hits 20 mill. Dont have a clue if it will increase or not tomorrow.

[Mojoguy]

Sin City's high 70m budget isn't really helping things.

 

SC2 will be the big flop of August?

And they didn't need to have a shitty plot with Iron Man joining the Guardians of the Galaxy to do it!

The Guardians winning summer, did someone on this board actually predict this ?

Sin City 2 has huge salaries for RR and the actors.

 

This movie will be a writedown for the movie studio.

IF I STAY 6M Friday, 14-18M ow

Sin City 2  8-10M OW

[Mojoguy]

What are the odds of SC2 having a massively frontloaded Friday due to fanboy rushing to see it, and collapsing on Sat and Sun to not even make 10m OW?

 

[vc2002]

So there's a chance the GOTG winning this wknd?

[kayumanggi]

I think 290 M is a lock for GOTG.

I think 290 M is a lock for GOTG.

If GOTG hits 295m, watch Disney not give a shit and not push it to 300m. Just look at how they are dealing with TWS and the 260m milestone.

 

Disney only cares about their darling animated movies hitting certain milestones these days.

260 million isn't a milestone.

[Mojoguy]

260 million isn't a milestone.

It looks a hell of a lot better than 259m though.

[The Panda]

Wow... Why would they not give it that final labor day weekend uptick to allow it to hit $260.0M?

You are talking about the studio that let gnomeo and Juliet end its run at 99.9m

[Ent]

Friday Update #2: Sources tell BoxOffice that If I Stay is pacing for an opening day around $5 million. If that holds, an opening weekend in the $13-14 million range is likely.

 

Meanwhile, When the Game Stands Tall is performing on par with expectations around a $3.5 million Friday. That would likely get the film over $10 million for the weekend.

 

The news isn't improving for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. After alarmingly low Thursday night numbers, sources report that the sequel may net around $4 million today. If that holds, a sub-$10 million weekend remains very likely (possibly closer to $9 million).

They didn't care about MONSTERS UNIVERSITY that much.

[Mojoguy]

Disney didn't care about Gnomeo since it wasn't made by them.

 

Now Disney's Hercules which ended its run at 99m is something I'll never understood. A mediocre movie that should have been pushed to 100m.

[The Futurist]

Eva Green naked full frontal is not a draw.

[Mojoguy]

I bet you Disney cared more about MU than Frozen when 2013 started.
