JennaJ Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Exactly why I don't think it's going to steal every record. Too predictable. When movies are expected to break every record, they rarely do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I gotta say, it is pretty nice seeing a Jurassic Park film in the all time top 5 domestic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I don't think that had much to do with it. I think the one two punch of JW and IO stole most of the thunder, and that had the biggest effect. Had Ted 2 opened in a quieter month, it wouldn't have opened hugely, but I would say 45M would have happened. I disagree, I for 1 loved Ted but I'm not that bothered about going to see the sequel. If it looked great then I would. Ted is meant to be an offensive stoner teddy bear yet the whole story of him proving himself to be contributing to society is just a little too much for me.

This is such a fucking pointless article that will be rendered moot in a month from now. Seriously, Variety... why?

But male-centric ones have definitely been having it rough, although that can be chalked up to the movies themselves (Mortedaci, Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Unfinished Business, and now Ted 2) not looking particularly funny. Entourage should kinda be kept separate since it was doomed from conception given its niche appeal. Edited June 28, 2015 by filmlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Clickbait Agreed. Any reasonable person would see that audiences are just avoiding the comedies that obviously don't have much of value, not comedies in general. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I had honestly forgotten about R.I.P.D. That was one of those movies where I saw the trailer over and over because it was attached to other movies I was seeing, and I became less and less interested every time I saw it. R.I.P.D. was like the Mirror Universe opposite version of building up interest in a movie by attaching a good trailer to another movie everyone is seeing. Universal attached a bad trailer to Despicable Me 2, and I am convinced that it actually drove audiences AWAY from the movie. (Actually, I think the same applied to Turbo - another movie with Ryan Reynolds as the protagonist, that opened on the same weekend, that had a shitty trailer which played before Despicable Me 2, that I am convinced killed any chances it had because everyone saw the trailer and was turned off by it.)
