Tuesday Numbers (Rth): Sniper 9.8M, Wedding Ringer 1.6M, Paddington and Taken 3 1M

It would be ironic if it beat Katniss.

 

I really think we ve passed the " if".

Everything the movie is doing bo wise is not normal. I don't expect a change anytime soon.

I want AS to end up winning the year because it would be awesome and a middle finger to Hollywoods current agenda of "big budget, franchise/reboot, only PG-13".

Yeah R rated blockbusters! Instead of transformers we'll get transformers with more awkwardly inserted f-bombs!

No way man "how do you say get the fuck out of the way in Chinese" totally felt natural and unforced.

Dude that'd be like 560 pace

[kayumanggi]

And Gitesh is conservative once again. It should be close to 200M by Sunday. 

 

Also, Rth was spot on once again. All hail the legend.     

 

I agree with 200 M.

[Aplandg]

I agree with 200 M.

With a $50m second weekend, I get $185m.

Watch it and you will see it's wrong.

[ChD]

Fuck Bradley Cooper. All hail the mighty Clint Eastwood. 

 

Uhm, no.

That R-rated opening  weekend held by Matrix Reloaded has yet to be broken. American Sniper almost did it so I think we should see the record come down soon but by which movie do you think?

 

I think some of the potential contenders could be 50 Shades of Grey, James Cameron making Battlefield Angel, and a Game of Throne movies based on the last book

Judging by the great Tuesday hold, we should not be surprised by a larger than expected Wednesday fall in case a lot of people decided to watch it on Cheap Tuesday.
