Considering it's a grossly unnecessary sequel that's a number of years past its sell-by date, the numbers for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 seem pretty darn good.

 

perhaps too many R-rated comedies, and not enough family friendly ones?

[Krissykins]

Ah $7m would be a bit better for Unfriended.

According to Screendaily, F&F7 has reached $1009m worldwide as of Friday.

Congrats! By Sunday it should be over $1.14B.

Considering everything Mall Cop 2 is facing (reviews, 6 year gap, the market at the moment), these numbers really are great. Unfriended is going to be one of those 15/31M grosses, which I guess is fine considering the budget. Monkey Kingdom doing as much as Beats did last year was expected, I just hope they keep making these Disneynature docs; I haven't actually seen one but one day I want to go on a Disneynature binge.

That's just insane and awesome!

 

With the star wars and B vs S teasers released I guess people have moved on to the next big thing.

 

But anyway that is wonderful for that series.

[dxmatrixdt]

my opening weekend predictions for new films tend to reflect the upper end of the films potential.  I had Monkey Kingdom at 10, Unfriended at 25, and Paul Blart at 21.  I am saying this just to highlight Paul Blart opening on the higher end.

It seems if Cinderella approaches 200, Insurgent may have to follow and approach 135!!!  That would give at an official 10% drop

[picores]

I see Insurgent ending just below 130m and Cinderella just above 200m. Home tarjets 170m. Good result, but what crappy multipliers are family movies having this year.

[eXtacy]

So FF7 will end around 350m DOM

Sony, you were really dumb for waiting 6 fucking years to release a Paul Blart sequel.

Sure it hasn't made as much as it could have otherwise, but they'll still make money off of it. 22M OW means 50M+ dom. If OS took the same drop from first film, it will have 63M+ overall, throw in DVD sales and it's a hit since budget was 30M.

It could have made another 100M DOM, IMO, if they had release it 2 or 3 years after the original.

By that logic it would have to sell millions of DVDs.

I've got it covered

[Bishop54]

Looks like Furious 7 and Paul Blart share the same audience, why am I not surprised?

[kayumanggi]

Huh?
