TBH Vaughn can pick and choose what projects he wants to. I'd like to see him go back to doing films like Layer Cake or something that isn't R rated Edited February 13, 2015 by Jonwo

So what are we looking at - 85m OW? That's just silly, regardless of inflated expectations round these parts. That would make worst possible DOM total about $180m, although it should be able to break $200m. Add the even more silly international numbers to the mix and we've probably got a half billion grosser. From a budget of $40m. A franchise is most definitely born - the only question is, will subsequent entries decline without the halo effect and hype around this first entry (a la SATC)? Or will they reach new highs with the sequels (a la Twilight)?

States obsessed with Fifty Shades

 

I'm assuming all those bible lovers are talking about how they aren't going to see 50 Shades of Grey and will instead go see Kingsman?? 

I'm assuming those Bible lovers will love the scene in Kingsman when Colin Firth kicks ass in that church.

[solaris]

Also yay for Kingsman. Haven't seen it yet but I pretty much love anything Matthew Vaughn does so more power to him,

[AASixteen16]

Between 50 Shades of Grey, Kingsman, and American Sniper all being R-rated, its pretty clear that an R-rating doesn't automatically hurt BO. Had 50 Shades been rated PG-13, it probably would be doing the same or even less as it is doing right now.

Way to generalize there homie.

[grim22]

The trailers before both movies will definitely benefit, Magic Mike before 50 Shades and Man from UNCLE before Kingsman seem to be the most thematically similar trailers. Both should get casual viewers interested post the weekend.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Based off that graph, it seems the rust belt is really into 50 Shades. I wonder why.

bro you have no idea.

So much for 50 doing >$100M 3-days.

 

Some people were really overestimating it.

Have fun

Kingsman is over performing because all the boyfriends that got dragged to 50 Shades forced their girlfriends to see Kingsman immediately afterwards.

[Deep Wang]

Okay, just for to work and I have to say, these numbers are pretty disappointing.

I know it's still early and it's gonna pick up, but this isn't what I was expecting. But we have some SpongeBob shows that had more people in it than 50 Shades.

Total so far(includes presales for tonight):

50 Shades - 541

Kingsman - 182

Some people were really overestimating it.

Some are still clinging to that hope.

*Face palm *

Why does rating matter so much?

Because, as an adult, I'd like to be able to watch adult things.

[grim22]

Wonder how holdovers are doing. If there are similar jumps to 2009 American Sniper should be close to 5.5M and Spongebob close to 6M.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Do girls really drag their boyfriends to this? I feel like it's more of a "girls' night" dinner and drinks first type movie.
