Plain Old Tele Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 29 minutes ago, johnboy3434 said: Yeah, it looks like it, but I actually selected those two films very carefully. -They were both released on Friday. (Yeah, hardly special) -They both grossed less than $100M domestic after inflation. -They both opened between #2 and #5. -They're both rated R. -They both opened in 3000+ theater locations. -They were both non-Memorial Day releases in May. And yet, a crummy horror film marketed at teens and college kids and a crappy comedy (also marketed at teens and college kids) are both terrible comps for a dramatic thriller aimed at thirtysomethings and up.

But remember when it was tracking at $30M opening weekend before release, then done $12m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Based on Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, a family-friendly movie released wide on December 16, I predict Rogue One will open to around 20M.

Notting Hill?? Who saw this movie??? Come on, what else has she done since then besides this God awful, MOTHERS DAY which she's barely in it apparently?? Are you really ignoring the fact she won a freakin' Oscar between Notting Hill and Mother's Day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really want to see what hits she's had since 1990? Oceans Eleven $450m Notting Hill $364m Oceans Twelve $363m Runaway Bride $310m Hook $300m My Best Friends Wedding $300m Erin Brockovich $256m Valentines Day $217m Eat Pray Love $205m The Pelican Brief $195m Mirror Mirror $183m Sleeping With The Enemy $175m Stepmom $160m The Mexican $148m Charlottes Web $145m Mona Lisa Smile $141m Americas Sweethearts $138m Conspiracy Theory $137m Charlie Wilsons War $120m Closer $115m So since Pretty Woman (1990), she's had 20 films make over $100m worldwide. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 reviews for this coming out they're pretty much a shrug. i like jodie foster a lot so it's a shame but i can't say it's unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochofles Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 LOL BKB will always be cluelessly BKB: "Julia Roberts has not had a decent hit since Pretty Woman" He must have missed the decade and half in which she happened to be the # 1 female box office attraction in the US. But carry on, child, with your cluelessness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many hits has Chris Evans had that made their money entirely on his name, like many of Julia Roberts' 90s hits did? Zero? Ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The reviews for this are looking decent overall. I think it could reach mid-teens given that there isn't much strictly targeting adults out right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Surprisingly decent reviews. Will probably do Monument Men numbers in the end, this will act as the adult alternative option through most of summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should consider themselves happy with half of MM's gross IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
