MONDAY NUMBERS | 11.17.2014 | 2.07 M DUMB AND DUMBER TO

[Plain Old Tele]

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.

That's true, maybe I was just thinking about legs compared to OW.

Of course. It was very frontloaded the first couple weeks. With that in mind, the daily numbers should be a good comparison between the two. They are basically dead on after Monday and they have the exact same release schedule: Nov 7/8 with a Hunger Games movie in weekend #3.

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

 

Its really good but I'd say trippier than Interstellar. By.. a lot.

 

You also get the sense the filmmakers really fucking hate actors.

IS is trailing Gravity by 23% at the moment, but only making 65% of it in the dailies. If it would continue this it would end up with $190m DOM - not going to happen. The Thor2 comparison looks valid, but for the IMAX-deal (just imagine those poor giant IMAX-theaters having to watch their small neighbours who show Mockingjay1 taking all the money and they have to show Interstellar infront of forever dwindling audiences)

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.  

That's not what I heard. Suppsedely Warners/New Line passed on D and D To because of Carrey's demands.Carrey then really mofified his demands to get the film mounted at Universal.

Agree about Carrey not being in  demand, but a lot of the time the star is the last person on earth to catch on that he is not that popular anymore.

In early 2013, New Line chief Toby Emmerich let rights to the sequel go when higher-ups at parent Warner Bros. didn't want to release it, even after Red Granite Pictures — backer of The Wolf of Wall Street — said it would help finance the film for less than $40 million and sell it overseas. Red Granite got the project, and shortly thereafter Universal agreed to distribute Dumb and Dumber To in North America and select foreign markets.

 

Now, if the franchise continues, it likely will end up back with Emmerich. Sources say New Line and Warners retained rights to a threequel. In addition, stars Jim Carrey, 52, and Jeff Daniels, 59 — who made $3.5 million each to star in the sequel, according to sources — have options to return for a third film if they are happy with a script.
