Kalel009Shel Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah people are ridiculously quick to assume this will have "bad legs" yur film has to be great to withstand all the films coming up. i still think 500+ m is happening. knew my titanic was safe. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm up now and quite shocked that Rth would tell us this yesterday, only to come in a lot lower than it should've.. So many people put a lot of faith in Rth who probably doesn't know the numbers any better than anyone else.. Either way, congrats to DH2 for holding onto the the OD record.. Come on now. Rth does this as a courtesy. You wouldn't be saying this if it was a 110M OD would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Could Katniss and friends now do what Tony Stark couldn't? I think there's a reason they're going for 3D here. OH SHIT Somehow I didn't think of this... that weekend is gonna be interesting as long as the trailer's out by Jurassic World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 They wish. But I'm not averse to some Blunt magic. After Dame, the next in line is "Kate the great" Winslet. I honestly don't think I've seen Kate in a movie in the last half-decade that wasn't part of the detergent series. It's a shame, I do like her but y'know, when she's good she's great and when she's bad it's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It's certainly a long shot, but I think the finale factor could give it another push. Also, given the competition, I think big drops are a given. The best thing about the upcoming big movies is that apparently my school is going to continue the $3 midnight premieres Meaning I get to see Mockingjay, Batman v Superman, and Civil War for $3 #FuckYeah #BrokeCollegeStudent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart360 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yeah people are ridiculously quick to assume this will have "bad legs" The first film had amazing reviews, almost universally liked and was the first film yet it only had 3x legs. The fact that this is a sequel means its almost bound to have worse legs than the first, combine that with much worse reviews and possibly mixed WOM, and 2.5 legs probably won't be far from the truth for this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Looking over this thread's earlier pages, I'm really curious how December's gonna turn out. The only one rooting against that movie is James, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omario Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 But he doesn't know any of this better than anyone else and to come in THAT low in difference compared to yesterday is a bit baffling.. 10-15M difference is quite a bit Tele.. From this point on, I'm just not going to put a lot of stock in this guy like others appear to.. That is rubbish and you know it. Youre upset so its understandable. But dont blame RTH. He has been a blessing for this forum. He is 90% on the money compared to all other insiders. That goes for everyone else. Shame on you all who are saying or thinking the same thing. As neo said you wouldnt be saying it if the OD record was broken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart360 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Pirates 2 had shit reviews and had a 3 multiplier And the first Pirates had something like a 6x multiplier so i don't see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As neo said you wouldnt be saying it if the OD record was broken. Also, Rth was off by literally 5% in his modeling. The numbers were so big that 5% made a 4.5M difference.

Blankments Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I always love it when someone's club wins and they basically come back with a suck it, shows a real maturity. I mean you're talking to James; the guy who reviews a movie off a trailer, and then when he actually sees it, makes sure to give it the same grade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Pirates 2 had shit reviews and had a 3 multiplier Dead Man's Chest had an A- Cinemascore. I remember there being a decrepency between the WOM and reviews all those years ago with POTC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Looking over this thread's earlier pages, I'm really curious how December's gonna turn out. The only one rooting against that movie is James, lol #1 grosser domestically, takes most (maybe all?) the December related records but doesn't come close to stuff like Avengers, Potter or Batman's opening records because... December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart360 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Your condition to believe that, but as far as I'm concerned, I won't believe another number he puts out til FOX News is reporting it on the Monday morning news.. Sorry, but fool me once, shame on you and you know the rest.. I feel bad for you now BKB, you have hardly put up a fight over all this. I hope you're not really down man, its all pointless bullshit really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 2, 2015 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 2, 2015 I didn't realize that you were the one who was writing the weekend updates for BoxOffice.com . They don't list an author. I think that's great. Also, I am glad that you explained why you are still predicting around a $200M OW. No problem. Yeah, I usually write the Saturday updates. With occasional exceptions, we try to stay close to what the studios are saying (especially for big movies). It's a good way to maintain positive relationships with them.
