POTUS 2020 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Don't give up! "Did america give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" No! You really need to learn some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor The Japanese bombed pearl harbor which is ironic given where we're posting. I used same quote last year in Japan thread with same result 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Harris Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I used same quote last year in Japan thread with same result You messed up Bluto's quote! It's actually, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!? NOOOO!" But, yeah, it's sad that anything less than 100% of the Internet-viewing population get that reference!

Harpospoke Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Did you just compare a silly blockbuster movie to a national tragedy? Also, it was Japan that bombed Pearl Harbor. Ok...this you must see: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTUS 2020 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 even though sat was deflated and the weekend couldve neared 200m, mon-tues are running 30% behind TA1. That shows the weakness going forward. I say it maintains that % through the weekend. 74m weekend down 61% , 30% less than TA1s 2nd weekend 310m total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) I'd buy that. If general WOM is like my initial reactions of "It was...good? I guess?" it would affect the legs. The ~22% admissions drop from TDK to TDKR would take AoU to a $483m total. Still big, of course, but just further illustrating how much of a phenomenon TA1 was (both in terms of up-front demand, and WOM).

Hatebox Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) This film is having one of those annoying runs that pleases neither the fans nor the meltdown lovers. Like TDKR it's performing decently by 'sequel to a phenomenon' standards, but there's little fun in that. Edited May 7, 2015 by Hatebox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Yes, read my above comment, I would not be surprised at a ticket sales dropoff on the level of TDKR. (And I don't want to hear about the shooting, my IMAX matinee showing the day after the shooting was still absolutely packed, so the idea that everyone was scared away is off-base IMO. Its mixed WOM played just as much a part in its drop from TDK, if not more - I say more.) Edited May 7, 2015 by TServo2049 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yeah, it's sad that anything less than 100% of the Internet-viewing population get that reference! Call it a paraphrase. We abbreviate, alter and out right mess them up all the time. Cary Grant never quite said "Judy Judy Judy" Bogart never said "play it again Sam" Robert Duvalls. " I love the smell of napalm in the morning, smells like victory" lot more there to that one But we tend to get them That's of course if your familiar with these pre 1980 movies If your not then you will be put on "Double secret probation!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like TDKR it's performing decently by 'sequel to a phenomenon' standards, but there's little fun in that. Yeah, it's hard to be too disappointed when you remind yourself that only one movie in history has made more over its first five days than AOU... but a lot of us thought it had a legit chance to match/exceed The Avengers' records. I was never firmly on the $600-mil train, but I was very confident it would open over $200. This upcoming weekend will be very interesting. With virtually no competition, can it buck the trend we're seeing so far this week and hold strong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken; pass given! The bigger point is that there are always a few people who earnestly correct the Germany/Japan reference, every time I see that quote used. I guess it's more acceptable in other forums on the 'Net, but on a Box-Office/Film site?!? "Animal House" should be required viewing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm matching Ta domestic was ridiculous. However matching Ta opening seemed reasonable. It's just such a huge opening to over come. You need near record Fri sat and sunday to beat the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Magic Johnson used to say when he did color commentary, if one team has more points than the other at the end of the game, that team will win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shooting absolutely had an effect on the regular shows and it's delusional to deny this. Nobody said everyone was scared away. The movie would have made $30m on opening weekend if that was the case. Movie likely would've made $175m opening and around $480m total. Still a pretty big drop from TDK admissions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
