I guess Shaun is a FLOP. Oh well.

MI5 5.1

30% drop after that craptastic Tuesday increase?!?!

 

It had better have a damn good Fri increase.

So where should Shaun be for the 5-Day ?

Obviously everyone is saving their money for DBZ this weekend.

Thank you for the numbers Gopher.

With that OD it's probably doing like 5m for the 5 day.

I think the weekend for MI will be fine. We know it's skewing much older and older folks work during the week!

Yes but now it needs like a 75%+ Friday jump to avoid dropping much less than 50%.

That's where I figured it would end up and I thought I was lowballing.

Why pay to see a stop motion sheep movie when you can catch CGI sheep jumping over mattress commercials for free on television?

[The Dark Rock]

Too early to jump to conclusions...but I doubt studio will be very much enthusiastic for MI6 after these numbers

Low number for Shaun I think.

I expected it to hit 2 million or 1.5...

The first rule of BoxOfficeTheory, you do not talk about a movie s bo performance until the chinese bo run is finished.

Thank goodness stop motion animation still has a healthy OS following, because DOM has not been kind to it lately. Looks like Shaun will be the second lowest grossing wide release sm DOM, after Monkeybone.

I always find it funny when a number comes in lower than expected or seems to be affected by something and people expect it to recover. Mission was always falling 25% plus no matter the increase.

1% of the time is a disappointing number not reflective of the real performance (Shrek 2).

Shaun The Sheep isn't doing all that well overseas, looking at the numbers. It flopped in every country other then the U.K.

 

It's a shame though. It's apparently really good (it's Aardman, so I'm not surprised). Lionsgate basically dumped it in the U.S. Releasing it on a Wednesday was such a stupid move as well.

OMG Monkeybone, the movie that killed Bridget Fonda's will to act (her most recent acting credit is the Hallmark Snow Queen movie from 2002)!

Not really, having children was largely responsible for Fonda's decision to leave the acting business. Also, she wasn't interested in eventually getting typecasted as older mothers.
