grim22 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Does the new movie have as many quotable lines as Dumb and Dumber? That can keep it in the public consciousness post OW. People still quote 20 years after release. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People still quote 20 years after release. From the sound of things it just repeats the same jokes, so probably not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 From the sound of things it just repeats the same jokes, so probably not. Even if it's not that good, big comedies tend to have 2.5x at the worst. So a $35 million OW would mean $87.5 million DOM at the worst. Best case is probably $105-110 million DOM. Considering the budget, Universal would have to be satisfied with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm thinking both BH6 and D&D will have low to mid 30s and IS will be somewhere in the 27-28m range. Then again, IS may get a boost from the people who watched D&D and found it too dumb and wanted to watch something smart in an effort to restore some brain cells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, never saw evidence of that happening on any of the Transformers OWs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that makes logical sense. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin Frohike Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Actually I think I'm wrong. BH6 might have some difficulty making much more than $30 million over the weekend. I didn't realize it's weekdays crashed so hard after VD. If people would stop looking at the drop from a holiday, they'd realize that Big Hero 6 has been doing fine on the weekdays for an animated feature released in early November. I'm thinking both BH6 and D&D will have low to mid 30s Just realize that you are predicting a big drop in comparison to other major animated features that were released in early November, historically--this includes movies that ended up with middling OW multipliers. If Big Hero 6 performs as you expect, then it may very well be in trouble of underperforming overall (it would still be too soon to jump to conclusions, but it would be a very bad sign nevertheless).

miketheavenger Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I think 30m is a good and expected opening for D&DT. IMO it's still quite popular among audiences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Anyone with a brain knows BH6 is taking the weekend again. Posts like this are the stuff that is frowned upon here. First of all, it's rude, second of all, there are no absolutes in box office and only those with half a brain make statements like this. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-dumb-dumber-fire-747517 Universal and Red Granite's Dumb and Dumber To is doing huge business at the Friday box office, putting the PG-13 comedy on course for a $40 million debut in North America, easily enough to beat holdovers Big Hero 6 and Interstellar, according to early returns. Dumb and Dumber To returns original directors Bobby andPeter Farrelly along with stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. The story follows the lifelong friends as they search for Lloyd's daughter in hopes that she can give him a kidney. Rob Riggle,Laurie Holden, Rachel Melvin and Kathleen Turner also star in the sequel. Disney's Big Hero 6 is projected to earn $30 million-plus in its second weekend, pushing its domestic total past $100 million. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar is pacing to come in No. 3 in its second weekend with an estimated $25 million-plus. Worldwide, the Paramount and Warner Bros. title has crossed the $200 million mark, including an international total of $135.5 million through Thursday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyneOh1040 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 40 million (which is obviously going to fluctuate at this point) would be almost best case scenario for this. Pretty huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
