baumer Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I expect it to drop from Minions, especially if WOM for Minions is as lukewarm as appears likely. So critics are split and now wom is going to be split? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Minions is sinking in "Top Critics". 36% and 5.1 average score, that's bad. 5/10 movie sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 So critics are split and now wom is going to be split? Just seems like it's pretty split here on these forums, in addition to critics.. I do expect kids to love it and, honestly, if it opens as big as I expect, I think $375M+ DOM is a foregone conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I expect it to drop from Minions, especially if WOM for Minions is as lukewarm as appears likely. Eh...Minions is a spinoff...so it won't harm DM3 too much. Also , DM1 & DM2 is actually about Gru and the girls...so those elements will be there for the third one.

Gopher Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 So critics are split and now wom is going to be split? Critics aside, I think the film won't get nearly as many repeat viewings from families as DM1/DM2 did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Like I said a few weeks earlier, IO could literally be pulled from theaters today and it would still surpass most expectations. Minions will dominate. IO will be fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Terminator Regurgitation was PG13 too, so I don't see the problem. That was at least closer to an R-rating than TG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This inflation argument always goes in circles. Movies released at certain times would never gross the same amount in a different year/date. It made what it made because of a huge number of variables we couldn't possibly predict. A movie grosses what it grosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A movie grosses what it grosses. not really, that sort of analysis is so basic that is does a disservice to analyzing BO in context. A dollar isn't worth the same over time, it's silly to just say the unadjusted gross is the end all be all gross sorry.

Ethan Hunt Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How's the buzz for The Gallows in USA? Seems it will be another $13/$30m horror movie. :/ Probably not even that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually those two languages open the biggest in the US compared to other Indian ones. This one's Telgu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a lot of people in Silicon Valley are buying tickets for it, Silicon Valley/San Jose may as well be absorbed into Andhra or Telangana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
