I think right now is a good time to reflect on David Koepp's horrible directing career.

Haha, I liked Secret Window! Then again I was like 16.

Koepp is actually from around these parts.

[Avatree]

Doesn't seem to breaking out here in the UK too much...

Really? It's doing pretty well where I am, if you look for a screening of AS at 8ish on Cineworld's website, it's absolutely packed.

It opened to $3.6M in the UK which is nothing to write home about, but here it's doing pretty good.

He posts on box office forums too?

Imitation Game could really go for 100M, the holds are great

Well... not to the same amount that it seems to be in the US for sure. But then again, that's probably not a fair benchmark.

Disney has got to be happy about Mortdecai being such a huge disaster that Strange Magic is just quietly bombing at the box office and will soon be forgotten.

Well no, obviously

What's a Strange Magic? Who's in it?

Google search is your friend......

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.

350 locked. 400 in play. Dreams are over

[Dark 33Legend of the Sith]

What happened to The Boy Next Door doing $10M on Friday? I'm gonna stick with Deadline's #s from now on.

Come on. This comparable to complaining that a 99% free throw shooter is a bad free throw shooter.

RTHs track record is untouchable.

What's a Strange Magic? Who's in it?

From the mind of George Lucas.

Imitation Game has been boosted by its increasing theater count. Let it have an even weekend in wide release without and expansion and then we can talk true staying power.

That's not a bad resume from a quality perspective.

Early Sat numbers ?

When I think of Premium Rush I remember that someone made Jamie Chung do that accent and thought it sounded good, and I get super bummed out

[TLK]

Stir of Echoes is an awesome movie. It is better than anything in wide release right now. Koepp has a pretty interesting filmography if you ask me.

[pepsa]

For all HG fans with hope:

 

MJ1 will likely end it's run at 36.5 give or take 1.5M so 338M max.

AS will have 198-201M afther the weekend, that would be a 65M weekend.

GOTG did a 42M weekend for a 176.5M. And it dropped 40.4% in it's next weekend.

 

AS won't drop 40% probably more like 35% of a 65M weekend so that would mean a 40M gab between GOTG and AS afther 3 weeks in wide release. So even if it drops like crazy afther that it won't lose 30M to GOTG afther it's 3 week. This will do atleast 400M.

[Jandrew]

Why are people so worried about MJ1? Cuz if youre not going to count AS as 2014, then technically GOTG won 2014 instead. MJ1 is #2 either way. Sorry bout it.
