4 of those are franchises, Alice is also one depending on what you consider a franchise.

Only a 28% drop on Sunday? C'mon WB. You really wanna get those headlines with a 90M OW. It will probably drop a good 2-4M with actuals.

I think any drop in Sunday will be made by Monday increase.

You are right that he was the one guy. I would love it if all his big predictions for this year come true.

 

Yeah, even if half of his predictions come true we would have a historic year.

Yeah it's kinda weird calling this weekend OW. I saw this 3 weeks ago

[RyneOh1040]

Absolutely jaw dropping for AS.  I have been on these forums for 10 years now and I can tell you that this may be the most shocking opening I've even seen.  This is a once a decade kind of surprise.  Hoping I can catch a screening today.

None of them were part of existing film franchises.

 

Alice in Wonderland is certainly not a franchise. Yes, it's a film based on existing material, but so is American Sniper.

90m?!!! 90m!!!?? 90 MILLION??!!

I am Legend was a blockbuster though and Bruce Almighty was Carrey at his peak popularity and was a comedy.

[miketheavenger]

No matter how you spin it, that AS opening is one of the Top 5 biggest boxoffice shocks ever. Absolutely insane number.

90m?!!! 90m!!!?? 90 MILLION??!!

Probably a little under due to Football Sunday drop but we ll see.

You can make excuses for all sorts of films. I.e. AS is Bradley Cooper at peak popularity and it's a patriotic film so DOESN'T COUNT! or something.

[RyneOh1040]

When you think of this R-Rated, January release beating Amazing Spider Man 2, Godzilla, Transformers, The Hobbit, every Marvel release last year and potentially Mockingjay I think you can make a very solid argument that it is in fact the most shocking box office event of the last ten years.
