catastrophic for Depp

I think people are fedup with his "performances". I remember when I first saw a famous German actor and was overawed by his acting. Later after the 3rd movie with him, I realized he was always playing himself playing the part in the film. There is a school in stage acting that wants to achieve exactly this, but for me that is not acting.

[kayumanggi]

Just enjoy the movies, my goodness.

People don't take him seriously anymore.

It won't because of the SuperBowl. Drop on Sunday will probably be over 75%.

That would be steep even by Super Bowl standards.

[narniadis]

And 200m!! By Monday spidey and Godzilla both go down, that's just crazy!

[CoolioD1]

should've called it The American Spider-Man 2.

[CJohn]

Lone Survivor dropped 77% last year and was playing at a much lower level.

It's always nice to see TASM 2 going down.

I think it's incredibly stupid that Americans would have made two Hunger Games flicks their number one movies in consecutive years if not for the savior that is American Sniper.

Hmmm...

[GumbyandPokey]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sunday's business for AS is better than expected due to all the sellouts last night.

Christoph Waltz pretty much plays the same character over an over again, imo. Vocal inflections and mannerisms are always identical.

All time 2nd Saturdays

 

 

TA: 42.9 million

IM3: 32 million

Spiderman 1: 30.5 million (held record for a decade) 

AS: 29 million

 

 

American Sniper joins a very special list

Crazy number but I had a feeling the "lower" Friday number was due to too many sellouts. Saturday gave people more chances to see it. Ps East Coast suffered an all day storm yesterday so Sunday drops could be softer than normal too.

[Lordmandeep]

-28 % Drop from a 89 million opening weekend and 107 million 4-day. 

 

 

Legendary run already and it likely has another 150-200+ million to go. 

 

 

Nice to follow a fun box office run finally

I just don't see how it fails to reach 340M now.

It wont, there is no reason for it fall off the earth.

 

Next weekend will be a 40% drop however after that even with competition the film will be a huge draw into presidents day weekend.

There is no competition. February looks appalling besides Fifty Shades. The weekend after President's Day weekend may have all 3 openers doing less than 6M.
