You know I may have overestimated earlier when I said it could reach March 2011's ticket sales, I'm now leaning to April 2013 (78m). 650m I think is the target. Divergent's really going to have to overperform to break from this.

Ethan, I'm a year younger than you, and even I know Paul Blart is a shitty movie.

Nobody "knows" that a movie is bad since it's all subjective.   I agree with your opinion though.

Ugh. Wish it didn't drop so much from estimates.

[ecstasy]

Haha. That Sunday estimate was too high. Somebody called it. I think it was Krissy.

[grim22]

That drop!

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

 

2.2M below the estimate. That is one of the biggest drops I can remember this year. They really wanted the 70M opening headlines.

[grim22]

Haha. That Sunday estimate was too high. Somebody called it. I think it was Krissy.

 

I think everybody called it the moment Saturday was 27M, 67-68M was where it was going to end up after making 50M in 2 days.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Well duh

[ecstasy]

I think everybody called it the moment Saturday was 27M, 67-68M was where it was going to end up after making 50M in 2 days.

 

 

Oh yeah. That's right. I remember you did.

CHAPPiE took in $5.70M this weekend. Domestic total stands at $23.32M. #CHAPPiE

[Mulder]

Still a good OW, but not as good as those estimates looked.

[kayumanggi]

It was all for the headlines.

[grim22]

Oh yeah. That's right. I remember you did.

 

Your point about audience demos will be interesting to see play out. With a 66% female audience, that is the highest skew outside of franchises like Twilight and 50 Shades, even Frozen only had a 55% female audience. Will be interesting to see if the good reviews and audience feedback helps it expand the demo considerably.
