Weekend #s | 50SOG 81m, (RTH Sunday puts it at about 84M) Kings 35.6, AS 16m, JA 9.43m (official) | all #s on p1

[narniadis]

It's going to drop like a rock on Sunday even with Monday as a holiday but that was presupposed Valentine's Day will do just $30m. Which would be less than a 50% jump excluding Thur.

Oh I know Sunday is going to be bad - and I am expecting 34-35 today so I just find that 76M total to be unrealistic.

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

I'm amazed at studio stupidity that doesn't recognize how this 4day works. Do they honestly expect just 16m between Sunday and monday?

Set low expectations and then you can publicly act "surprised" that the movie surpassed them. Classic studio lowballing.

I think some of ya mofos are smoking some weird shit.

Over 70 mil is now disappointment cause it didn't do your expectations. I'm sure the studio arent crying . I'm sure they are giving free blow jobs and vibrators as we speak around the office

Leave RTH alone we are lucky he provides us with early numbers and are right 98% of the time shame on you

[druv10]

That's underwhelming for 50 Shades after all the hype about book sales and trailers views and such

 

How is this disappointing? It's budget is 40M and it's going to double that over the 4-day weekend. Add in massive OW OS, we're looking at 200M+ for the World wide weekend. In no shape this is disappointing.

Some of you just expected too much. The numbers are fine.

Agreed, some people just let the pre-sale reports and personal expectations get the better of them, as usual. Don't blame the movie.

So Gitesh's numbers were more accurate than Rth's. Where are the idiots who were telling me "stop posting these, we already have Rth's numbers!!111!!!!" last night in a pathetic attempt to be liked by some member on a forum just b/c he has early #s? 

Didn't he say The Boy Next Door would do $10M opening day? I'll post other sources. Skip over my posts if it bothers you. 

 

He's blatantly saying that if Boy Next Door was a terrible projection by RTH, he must not be accurate, even though history has shown that Gitesh is much more inaccurate in general.

 

He's being an a-hole plain and simple

I think the content matter got a lot more buzz then it would normally. 

 

 

However I think there is difference to some by reading this book privately then watching a film about it, even though the film is tame.

 

 

I imagine this will be quite popular after theaters as they can watch in their homes.

It's now the biggest President's Day weekend opener. Such a flop. lol

Remember when Iron Man 2 OW was a disappointment? It is what is happening here.

Yeah in retrospect it was far bigger then any opening last year lol! 

 

 

Imo I think looking back it performed okay considering it was pretty blah, it sill reached around IM1 total.

 

IM3 did really well though.

Iron Man 2 didn't make 3/4 of its budget in a single day.

The difference is 50 Shades is not a disappointment and IM2 was in the sense that it came way under predictions.

[mod edit]. you don't know what you're talking about. i posted gitesh's #s WITH NO MENTION OF THAT POMPOUS PRICK RTH and several members replied that i shouldn't post them b/c rth had already given us the #s. is that so hard to understand. NO MENTION OF RTH UNTIL OTHERS BROUGHT HIM UP. understood?

now can we move on?

Instead of seeing 50 Shades of Grey I opted to see Kingsman a second time, day well spent
