Weekend Numbers (IDEN $1.91m/ GOTG: $10.16m; #s pg 1 & 10)

Oh.

 

Oh….

 

Well, that's… interesting? I guess.

 

I've got nothing. 

 

I know, right? The reviews for The Identical are amazing to read; the critics are so baffled about its weirdness and how it got made. Of course, the movie about Fake Elvis and his twin has a soundtrack of Fake Elvis music. It only cost $16 million apparently but an opening outside of the Top 10, ouch.

[Mango]

Lol The Identical up 33% on Sunday.

Sorry Dame. You can't win 'em all.

Lol The Identical up 33% on Sunday.

 

I'd figure more Christians would be going to evening Mass rather than seeing a movie, right?

[John Marston]

Also must give nod to Expendables 3's pitiful performance

[Jack Nevada]

Listened to the Korey Coleman review of The Identical and it sounds absolutely hilarious.

Thx Internetz.

[La Binoche]

BOYHOOD topped $20M 

[Ent]

I'm pretty sure there are more books in the IF I STAY series, so I wonder if that could be the start of a nice new YA franchise. 

 

OMG is Sin City not even in the top 14 anymore??? WTF!

 

 

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For opened at the 17th place

 

Weekend gross : 689,000   (-69%)   

 

Total domestic : 12,906,000

Imagine if someone said that Maleficent would gross more than HTTYD2. That might be even crazier.

Nah they'll be rushing home to watch the NFL like millions of other Americans...faith-based movies do have a history of good Sunday holds, though.

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

So TMNT finishing at around $200 million? Or closer to $190-$195?

 

That's a really great run for a movie I predicted couldn't do more than $150 million at the B.O. Crow eatened

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Jesus! I didn't even see The Identical at number 10. Damn. Pathetic.

 

LBC is having a darn good run too. $70 million+ is a good number for it.

I don't think that list would have looked out of place at all. All movies performed pretty much as expected with the exception of Dragon 2 and Guardians but even then, their runs were deemed possible at the time, just improbable. Edited September 7, 2014 by jessie

LOL at the 33% jump of The Identical on Sunday. There is no way it happens. I know why they think it might happen, but it won't.

If you would have told me in April that GOTG would outgross Iron Man 1 domestically, my reaction would have been:

[Dingdong123]

Yesss at Lucy having that soft drop!!

I think it would take divine intervention to see an increase like that. Much of the audience for that will be going to church and possibly watching football.

Take a look at the preseason predictions in the BSG and you'll see very differently. The lowest prediction from Dragon 2 was 260m. The highest prediction for Guardians was 235 (next highest was 200).
