DAR Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Why not? Boxing doesn't care about box office. Exactly neither should have had to adjust its schedule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 What'll be interesting is if the fight causes a bit of a slump in the Mexican box-office too. According to my wife, it was absolutely huge down there. It was on free TV in Mexico. 2 channels were carrying it free OTA according to Deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The question I am thinking about is whether people who just dropped 100$ on that fight will be willing to spend 20$ a pop on movie tickets tomorrow. Especially since there must be some major buyers remorse among a section of the audience. Yeah, those folks will likely see the movie at some point but there is no guarantee they'll rush out tomorrow to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Oh well I still think TA3 could target the OW with an injection of some of their new heroes (Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Mexico was one of the fight sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This is basically Spider-Man 3. It came up against Mayweather vs De La Hoya which was the last big fight event. SM3 also barely increased from "true" Friday numbers. True, and if it manages a similar 22% drop that will probably indicate that there is a Fight Effect. If we see a larger drop, though, it probably indicates something else. The whispers of truth say the budget was waaaay higher than 250. Wasn't a lot of it filmed in studios in England? So we'll get to see the public records in a few years? I wonder how much higher. PotC4 came in above 400m, right? I wouldn't be surprised if this is in the same range.

Don't come for my people, bb. It's not our fault we have an amazing national anthem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I think Mexico was one of 100 sponsors. Along with the Weinstein Company's Southpaw opening July 24 at a theater near you. There was so much promotion dropping even NASCAR guys were saying pull it back a little. On the other hand Mayweather coming out with the Burger King guy was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 BOM didn't even put up a weekend preview, or Friday numbers report. I guess they are transitioning into being a "numbers only" site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 So theres been two annoyong ass debate questions plauguing the forum for the last month: 1. Will this hit $200M OW or not? 2. Sill the fight have an impact? Glad both have finally been answered. I couldnt take another week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 85 59 50 (assuming spillover audience and great hold due to that) 194M Probably the best case scenario now. $190-192m is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The Weinstein Company's Southpaw opening July 24 at a theater near you. Everytime the announcer said that it sounded like "South Park, opening July 24" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RthDeadWov Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Between San Antonio and Los Angeles, that is two pretty big markets getting hit at the same time. Then there's the fight having a bigger effect across the country than many of us thought. Damn that thing was a fucking letdown too...fucking Mayweather and his dance routine. Yeah the Palladium SanA that was one of the highest grossing for fri looks like take over 60% drop today, a big number in general but still, SF taken big hit but LA is still looking 10% more of a drop than SF, bloody sport LOL 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
