Weekend Numbers Jan 23-25 pg 46(AS 64 mill, Mom's cookies 15)

That was the biggest mess-up RTH has done in a year, still on average he is way more accurate than Deadline.

 

He updated later and was much more spot on with both AS and TBND.

Stir of Echoes IS underrated. Secret window is dumb. premium rush gave me road rage.

2 people just bought tickets to the movie of the week. #mortdecai

[druv10]

I don't get the swinging some of yall do between trusting RTH or not. Yes he has better access to numbers but yall come across as ungrateful demi gods with some of your attitudes. When a film skews as old in the demo as AS and Jersey Boys there is a larger margin of error.

 

Yeah, I don't get this as well. People bitch when we've no numbers and bitch when we do have them. Rth doesn't have to post anything and remember for a while Deadline wasn't posting anything either so all of the complaining is ridiculous, ungrateful bastards.

Of all films that had a 60m+ 2nd weekend, Alice in Wonderland is the lowest grosser with 334m. #trivia

http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/moreweekends.htm?page=2&p=.htm

That's not a good way to look at it, out of all the films to have a 60m 2nd weekend, American Sniper will have earned the least amount of money prior. All films to have hit that number on its 2nd weekend had earned well over 200m to that point, AS still has catching up to do but im sure the holds will more than make up for it

[eXtacy]

The Imitation Game increased from last friday, it just keeps chugging along!

[MonstersandRoy]

Paddington has not caught on like I thought it might. May not have long legs in US.

[DAJK]

I am quite surprised at Boy Next Door... what happened to 10M Friday...?

[BK007]

Besides AS, the box office is terrible. 

 

Sorry guys, but one gargantuan movie cannot save the industry when we will have already our 2nd and 3rd films earning less than $5m in wide release on the 4th weekend of the year. 

 

I predict The Loft and Black or White, both really unnecessary films to also fail to make $5m. 

[The Futurist]

Agreed, drawing conclusions about AS and the state of bo in the coming months is ill advised.

AS attracts an audience that isn t the blockbuster audience for the most part. This movie is an anomaly, nothing more.

If you take out AS, this year s oscar line up is one of the weakest one bo wise.

Goddamnit I was hooping boy would surprise oh well 15-16 is still is great

[Aplandg]

With the $18m Friday, my expectations have come back to earth and now I see it just beating MJ1 by a small margin. Upsetting... If it's gonna be close, I'm rooting for MJ. But I'm seeing $350 for now vs MJ1's $340.

MJ1 won t do 340 IMO.

So I just received a card from a local theater that was advertising the new recliners they have and a new restaurant. And the card says see these upcoming blockbusters and two of the films on the list Mortdecai and Strange Magic. Oops
