The Intern  only cost 35 million?? Interesting. It's quietly grossed over 70 million dollars domestically. That Hathaway heat?

 

DeNiro + Hathaway heat. 

Let your imagination run wild

has anyone else noticed that BOM has removed all pictures and posters from their website?

Just got back from Spectre. A lot better than I was expecting. It's not great or anything but miles better than QoS. The action was really, really well done and the cinematography was solid.I actually like the goofy touches after the over-seriousness of Skyfall. Overlong though. Could have easily cut 15-20 mins. If it's Craig's last Bond it leaves off in a good place. After seeing it, I'm actually thinking he won't come back. Regarding the BO, it's clear that Skyfall was an outlier. This make around the same as the Bond movies have since the 90's (adjusted of course). Don't know what to say, it's been a remarkably consistent franchise and maybe we should've seen this total coming.

I feel the opposite, it's a Frozen-like movie : people don't expect much from it but it benefits from a wonderful WOM and outperforms in a fantastic way, it has a huge potential in that area.

It won't be another Frozen, that was a perfect storm. 300M would be great.

Adding 71 more markets, Eon/MGM/Sony Pictures’Spectre picked up a further $117.8Moverseas. Including the U.S. bow of $73M this frame, that brings the worldwide cume to $300M in just under two weeks. At open last weekend, the superspy’s 24th installment grossed $80.1M across just six territories, led by a benchmark-setting $63.2M in the UK alone. With the current frame, Spectre in the UK has surged past $100M and is beating Skyfall in local currency comps.

 The UK held very well, dropping just 29% to add $21.3M. That pushes the cume to $100.2M. In local currency, the 14-day total for Spectre is £65.5M, 6% above Skyfall‘s £61.6M in the same number of days.

Germany at $20.1M

It's odd to me how meh this weekend seems even with 115 from 2 new openers. However fantastic holds from the holdovers (minus Jobs) and even with a lack of depth in older films, it should round out quite well as November progresses. 

[narniadis]

Good Dino is going to surprise some and amaze others and cause the rest to bitch about how it did or didn't do what they expected.

I'm thinking of seeing Bridge of Spies today. Just make it a weekend of spies for me. Thoughts?

 

Do you think there are way too many spy movies this year?

Kingsmen $400M WW

Spy $100M McCarthy movie

Man from UNCLE

MI5 $600M WW

Spectre at least $800M WW

Bridge of Spies

American Ultra

 

Taken 3, Mortdecai & Agent 47, all have spy elements in them

 

Bring back some drama, romance & some mind-f*ck thriller like The Gift

 

Well there is still a lot of drama, romance, and even thrillers like The Gift. There were a lot of spy movies this year though. Not to many in my opinion since I love spy movies and most of them were great.

Spectre's opening is fine. It always felt like buzz for this was significantly quieter than it was for Skyfall, plus that movie was an anomaly. Should still reach $200M unless it just collapses in the weeks ahead.

 

The Peanuts Movie is also off to a good start. I think it'll hold really well in the weeks ahead too; Megamind saw a small drop against Tangled on Thanksgiving Weekend 2010, so this should hold well too.

 

The Martian is still kicking ass despite direct competition from 007. Awesome.

 

A very dismal opening for Miss You Already, which is unfortunate but unsurprising. Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette deserve a better fate than that.

 

Room saw a miniscule drop in PTA in its expansion. Sizzling start for Spotlight, and an also promising beginning for Brooklyn too. Trumbo's is only okay.

It's hard to see coming a year out. Had spectre redeem as well reviewed as skyfall and had good trailers there would have been mire hype. This could have easily opened as high as or higher than skyfall, it was just another missed opportunity.

[filmscholar]

Decent for Bond domestically and gangbusters overseas but I think 300 is out of the window domestic, I don't see this getting 3x + like "Skyfall" but it's still going to do great overall.   I think "Peanuts" is the real winner of the weekend.  Not many people knew if it could transend previous generations and it proves to be a timeless quailty franchise.  Had it opened next week it would of won the Weekend.    So I expext a Peanuts Trilogy going forward.

Don't know what is funnier-the fact that Jem is gone from theaters or the fact that Rock the Kabash is already at the dollar theater!

[MovieMan89]

It's funny how Die Another Day is always considered such a franchise stopper, yet it is Brosnan's most successful and #6 out of all 25 films in admissions. If the film had been any good, I wouldn't be surprised if it had pulled Skyfall level admissions and Brosnan would have done another 1-2 more. 

 

As it is, Brosnan's 4 Bond films ended up all being ridiculously consistent in admission levels.

According to CJohn - neither. Both studios denied him a new theater loss percentage drop record through the stopping tracking and dollar theater expansion loopholes, he was really looking forward to this week for the past 2 weeks.

revisionist history. Die Another Day was very successful (and had good legs as well),  and they were planning to make another with Brosnan. Only after negotiations fell through they decided to do a reboot

DAD is like the successful equivalent to Batman and Robin.

Actual quotes by CJohn to his posse of playground tots when it comes to those studio heads

 

"Do you know the Portuguese proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold at night on the playground!"

 

"They task me. They task me and I shall have them! I'll troll them 'round the forums of IMDB and 'round the Box Office Derby and 'round the Tumblr flames before I give them up!"
