With the epic presales I was thinking 100 million 4-day so..

Forget shades, is the Spongebob number good someone?

Official predictions for 50 SHADES were in the 45-60 range. It's over performing, not underperforming.

But official predictions like those really suck. That is being too conservative big time

[John Marston]

John what is an opening you wanted? No more fucking around, give us a number

 

 

presales, trailers views, and marketing pointed to a 100m opening over at least 4 days

From BO.com:

"MovieTickets.com's report that those pre-shows only accounted for 14.5 percent of advance sales as of Wednesday -- compared to Friday's 28.3 percent and Saturday's (Valentine's Day) 42.3 percent. "

This post should be remembered.

As predicted almost a month ago

So we've moved past "February record", "over 100m OW", and now we're looking at "SW is in trouble"?

We only have "Record presales", "RS predicts 120M" and "50 Shades: What went wrong" to go.

[Kalo]

who cares if it doesn't hit $100m, it's a shitty movie based on a shitty book.

This post should be remembered.

Not a scientific method, but according to that 42.5% has already been done, with 42% today. So 30M today as well?

Edit actually: at the low end I guess.

Trailer views and marketing? Seriously?

[The Futurist]

Maybe the toxic word of mouth is already kickin in ...

[druv10]

Not a disappointing opening? What's next? Mockingjay 1 wasn't a disappointing opening because it still. "Made over 100m"?

 

Man, you're disappointed with every thing. TA2 could make 200M+ OW and you would be disappointed by that.

At the same time, the Fifty Shades audience is significantly older than the Twilight/Fault crowd, and are therefore less likely to rush out on opening day. Also, there's a question surrounding how the movie will play on Valentine's Day. If the movie drops to $25 million, then the $70-$80 million range is on point; however, if sales jump to $35 million, then $90-million-plus is back in play.

I dont understand all that math. All i wanna know is if Spongebob will have a good drop or not.

[Noctis]

30.5m? Rth predicted 36m...I guess he's losing his luster. He said 10m for the J-Lo film when it actually just hit 6m?

I stand with Boogie Nights in this hugely crucial topic. May Rth burn for his errors.

I think what most people might be overlooking is that this is one movie where most people opted to buy their tickets online to remain as anonymous as possible.

[Dementeleus]

Forget 100m, will this thread reach 100 pages?
