For a World War II movie that won't be up for any major Oscars (and with two other war-themed films coming out in the final months, likely won't get any technical noms either), Fury probably did about as well as it was ever going to.

 

Hindsight is terrific, isn't it?

No it had the potential to open to 40M. Tue movie looked great and had Brad Pitt going for it.

Anyways question for anyone who knows: who is actually the main protagonist of Fury, is it Pitt, Lerman?

I feel like the marketing never made that clear

Japan almost always get things late but do they have good piracy control so some movies still do well even if their are copies online already

I am actually quite surprised it didn't open higher. A Brad Pitt WW2 film that got (mostly) positive reviews. I thought it would come a bit closer to 30M to be honest.

I over-predicted Fury this weekend, as well as the Best of Me by a few million (3.8), but I under-predicted BOL a little.

[Chinoiserie]

I hoped that Book of Life would have done at least more than Alexander and the overlong title. But it should do better internationally.

Fury's numbers are in line with Captain Phillips, Monuments Men, etc. Legs will have to be great in order to hit 100m. But it's looking like a 80-85m finish. Sony was probably hoping for more.

It's the Frozen kind of release. Take forever to release it in Japan, expect it to make a ton of cash!

So how do you think Fury's legs well turn out?

[forg]

No family competition until Big Hero 6 so crossing my fingers for good legs for BOL

 

Alexander did really well I must say, it's been awhile since Disney had a midbudget live action movie hit

'Birdman's $103,750 per-theater average ranks 19th all-time (9th for a live-action movie): http://t.co/LqHy2sfQ6K pic.twitter.com/uzPHi8Botj

I think it can hit 75M, but while I think 85-90 is possible, I wouldn't put money on it right now.

On a worldwide basis, 'Guardians' now ranks 4th this year ahead of 'Captain America' and 'Spider-Man': http://t.co/UxWPFKDZyn
