Weekend Official Estimates: SA 53.2m, PP 14.4m, TL 13.8m, MMFR 13.6m, AOU 10.9m, Aloha 10m

[zackzack]

Aloha is pulling like 7 million this weekend. Would be a nice big bomb but the budget was 37 million and Sony probably spent nothing marketing it. Should be a tiny writeoff. 

 

 

Sony is terrible with line-ups, tent poles and portfolio, probably still drunk with all that Spider-Man cash.

I mean they practically put zero effort and won a $1.4B lottery with the last 2 Spider-Man movies.

 

But they should bounce back with Pixels and in the Fall with Spectre & Transylvania 2.

Adam Sandler & Seth Rogen are their saviors.

Aloha had a 37M budget?

Salary?

[Maxmoser3]

Salary?

that and the trip to Hawaii

[Alpha]

Looks like Aloha is gonna end up around $9-11 million. Everything surrounding this movie has been a mess, so I guess you could say it was expected.

 

And San Andreas should end up around $45-50 million for the weekend. Big win for Warner Bros.

[PDC1987]

How is San Andreas an original flick??? It's pretty well copied every disaster movie we've ever had...

Stop. You now what he meant. It's not a sequel, prequel, spin-off, remake or adaptation.

I am hoping for 50M for San Andreas.

[PDC1987]

And it's certainly not original either...

Again, you know what the term original film means.

[FTF]

Bullshit.. Original film means it's a film that's so unique, it's never copied any other movie and is a separate entity unto itself... San Andreas will rank right up there with every other disaster movie we've ever seen...

He put the word original in quotations, stop being obtuse.

Also, that's a good # for SA. Could def hit $50m.

So you're saying San Andreas would compete in Adapted Screenplay? 

[Asyulus]

Come on! I hope San Andreas quakes $50M OW.

[filmlover]

Salary?

Hey, at least it didn't cost $120M like How Do You Know, another poorly-reviewed, star-filled comedy from a big name director that bombed epically.

Aloha is probably gonna end up performing almost identical to The Big Wedding, another horrifically-reviewed comedy with blinding starpower and minimal marketing. Embarrassing.

If Sony was actually making a lot of money (these movies aren't made, distributed and marketed for nothing)  on Spider-man they wouldn't have done that deal with Marvel.

 

SPECTRE should be huge but it's very expensive and they split the profits with MGM and The Broccolis.

[Jandrew]

Been rooting for San Andreas to break out (no pun intended), we havent had a big original hit since Feburary...going on 4 months.

[pieman]

Aloha had a 37M budget? 

 

That's nothing for a studio film. No need to be so shocked.

[Maxmoser3]

Now I'm curious to see the Friday numbers as well as the weekend for San Andreas and then I am excited for Spy's and Jurassic World's numbers the next two weeks

[kitik]

He put the word original in quotations, stop being obtuse.

 

 

Sure, but the word original has become pretty misused the past few years. Now it pretty much means "anything that isn't part of a franchise" which isn't at all what it should mean.

 

I remember back when original truly meant something original.

When I was a kid we'd have to walk 8 miles up a hill in a blizzard and then make the movie ourselves.
