The Dark Alfred Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yea MM2's run is a mystery. Maybe it's just been released the wrong time. It's hitting 75m with this pace, healthy total considering its budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always going to be profitable despite being double the budget of the film. Channing Tatum must have a backend deal as I can't imagine his salary for this was much higher than the first.

CJohn Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 4th of July was a terrible date to release it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 It's more of a fun project for him really not much about the money. Having said that I'm sure he received some decent cheques from WB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Minions is supposed to have a bump today right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC1987 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Such a perplexing run for that one. The first was an original film that opened huge but had no longevity. This one is a sequel that opened small and is apparently having fantastic legs. Doesn't make sense quite honestly. It got close to a 3x. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Monday may have been deflated by something. It's weird when we have steep Monday drops followed by huge Tuesday bumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 WHAT IN GOD'S NAME HAPPENED TODAY Minions 16.8 (+30%) IO 3.45 (+43%) Jurassic World 2.9 (+34%) Terminator 2.15 (+34%) Mike 1.85 (+44%) 16.8M???? That is a ridiculous first Tuesday jump for Minions. Will probably go into the weekend with a 12M Thursday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Monday may have been deflated by something. It's weird when we have steep Monday drops followed by huge Tuesday bumps. For the holdovers, I think last Monday was inflated by the holiday weekend. Some people probably took off an extra day from work, so it made this Monday's drop look pretty bad in comparison. Minions is just amazing for a first Tuesday though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeManhattan Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 MMXXL still doing very good. It looking more like it had a poor release date and now it making up for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregBeuke Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Monday may have been deflated by something. It's weird when we have steep Monday drops followed by huge Tuesday bumps. I know many theaters have special promotions on Tuesdays. My local theater has 5 dollars movies and free popcorn all day. So it's often as busy as a weekend day or busier on a Tuesday. So I always expect decent increases on Tuesdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 MMXXL still doing very good. It looking more like it had a poor release date and now it making up for it 51.5m after 2 weeks of play vs. 72.4m for the original (-29% behind). Much better than its performance three days in (21.3m vs. 39.1m, -46% behind). Its dailies are catching up to the original's fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoZodiac Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think IMDB and Cinemascore are more reliable because they measure feedback of those who actually saw the movie (cinemascore is a better polling system though not such a huge sample) You are wrong about Imbd, you can vote there months before a film is released and it'd count.

XenoZodiac Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Agree. And don't forget, IO was the first Pixar film, not to hit #1 on OW. Basing judgement on ranking is a fallacy, since ranking is entirely based on competition, and there are many more factors to box office gross than competition.

bladels Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Conveniently ignoring the fact that Minions opened far bigger and will still out gross it. You mean 1.8m is far bigger. At this rate, IO will pass Minions in couple of week Edited July 15, 2015 by bladels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
