MONDAY NUMBERS | 11.17.2014 | 2.07 M DUMB AND DUMBER TO

[narniadis]

Keep it up tele I like the comps.

Overall seems like business is back to normal for another week.

[Empire]

Poor Monday for D&D2. Good for IS and fine for BH6. I see at least a 55% drop this weekend for D&D2.

Poor Monday for D&D2.

 

 

I have a feeling it will be back up to #1 on discount Tuesday.

It could, but BH6 might increase to #1.

[Rudolf]

after the opening weekend IS was 11% behind Gravity, now it is 23% behind it

if it continues in that speed, we will see where it ends

maybe 45% down

Weak WOM is doing severe damage to D and D 2's legs. Film will still make a good profit because it only cost 40 Million to make (Carrey took a huge salary cut to get it made) but a 3rd film is up in the air.

[picores]

Anything over 80m is a huge win for Dumb. It was destinated to do 20-40m sice it was announced. Marketing wasnt particulary strong either. Plus its making +100m at least OS.

Frankly the same could be said for Horrible Bosses 2. With the competition it's gonna face, I think a drop from the first one is in order.

Carrey didn't take a salary cut.  He's lucky to be working right now.  That's not hyperbole either.  He's not exactly in demand anymore and his films certainly don't make money.  

[Plain Old Tele]

Speaking of MILLION WAYS TO DIE, Universal is now officially promoting it during Oscar season.

While not a great comedy, I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I was surprised it got panned so badly.

[Ozymandias]

Hey is Birdman expanding again next weekend?  I'm dying to see it.

[DayTripper]

Mr. Popper's Penguins $187M worldwide, $119M foreign

A Christmas Carol $325M worldwide, $187M foreign

Yes Man $223M worldwide, $125M foreign.

 

Kick-ass 2 or Burt Wonderstone I don't consider Jim Carrey movies, since he only had glorified cameos in both of them. Allthough I admit I was shocked how big of a bomb Wonderstone turned out to be considering the cast.

 

The right project starring Jim Carrey is still pretty much guaranteed to do $100M+ overseas, even a turd like that penguin movie made $120M overseas. Carrey is still a huge beloved star all over the world.

 

Jim Carrey's supposed "fall from grace" or "career freefall" is so over exaggerated. What happened was he took three years off to paint or something, and he probably did those two cameos just for fun or to please his agent or as a favor, who knows.

 

But he's back now, and DDT will end up with $200M+ worldwide easily, and if he chooses his next project carefully that too will be a hit, mark my words.

INTERSTELLAR daily comps:

 

$7,180,656 ahead of PROMETHEUS (slight gain by PROM)

$1,449,904 ahead of I, ROBOT (slight gain by I, ROBOT)

-16,240,565 behind M: REVOLUTIONS (solid gain by INTERSTELLAR)

 

Just noticed a potentially good comparison: Thor 2. Not for total gross but for remaining gross on a day to day basis. They came out at pretty much the same time and both face a Hunger Games sequel in their third weekend. Thor 2 made $2.2m on its second Monday. Interstellar is right behind it at $2.15m.

 

If Interstellar follows Thor 2 the rest of the way, it will make another $59m and finish with $158m. Thor 2 was hit hard by the release of Catching Fire. Will be interesting to see how Interstellar holds up in comparison. It doesn't lose IMAX screens to Hunger Games, whereas Thor 2 did.

THOR 2 had pretty lousy legs, though. I think INTERSTELLAR will hold better. Tomorrow I'm going to add GRAVITY (60%) as a comp. That seems like a pretty decent track, for now.

They could have at least picked a walk among the tombstones or Lucy.

Were the legs really that bad after the second weekend? Look at Thanksgiving weekend. Percentage drop very similar to Gravity, which was much further into its run and had incredible WOM.

[The Dark Alfred]

Thor 2 was an awful film, ok not awful, but pretty bad, so I guess we can assume that 160m is the floor for Interstellar. Hopefully it will handle the HG storm, especially on its 4th weekend I expect a decent hold, a sizeable drop this weekend is inevitable.
