Infernus Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Can JW still do 50m this weekend with that Thurs number? And is it too much to reserve the word 'flop' for the real flops? That or we might as well invent a new word for those since 'flop' is losing it's real meaning here. New word that fits these cases better than flop? I dont know of a new word but I think 'below (re-newed) expectations' or (especially for JW's case) 'non-mindblowing' would better describe this.

I dont know of a new word but I think 'below expectations' or (especially for JW's case) 'non-mindblowing' would better describe this. Actually I meant the word that fits the real flop movies better than 'flop'. As for JW, I know 'below expectation' would be a better word but it's such a boring word term so no one's using it. Non-mindblowing sounds about right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATCH-2D2 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yup. Easily. Yes, for sure. That's good then. I just think it's going to be so cool if it can reach 500m by Sunday but oh well... I'm starting to get too greedy for my own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernus Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hoping JW Thurs actuals go up. Hoping both movies' actuals go up. But I don't think its happening. These past three weekdays, Rth's estimates have been pretty spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC1987 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The weekend daily increases and decreases this week last year were all over the place. TLAM2 increased 107% on Friday. We need to wait for Friday numbers to see what could happen this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a few Interstellars and How to train your dragons to get back on track (although i really really hope that doesn't really happen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both movies were among my most favourites last year and they both underperformed DOM for absolutely no f**king reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies all over (AoU being the exception) are over-performing whether good or mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Solid for JW. As some have said, it is headed for 51M. But I think it can rebound higher than many expect Great increase for IO. Headed for a great weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I wouldn't say Interestellar underperformed. It simply didn't reach the high and unrealistic expectatives some had in this forum. It was an original sci-fi and almost reached 200M. HTTYD2, on the other hand, was an unexpected underperformer despite being a really good sequel to a really loved animated film in a market empty of animated movies. Weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
