You've asked this twice. Are you bothered? ^^

I mean, it could indicate another shutdown coming...

 

I would literally lose my shit if BOM finally goes kaput now that SW is about to hit.

DAD is like the successful equivalent to Batman and Robin. 

 

So Batman Forever.

Ah I see. Or maybe the servers can't handle the amount of pics anymore?

Okay so final DAJK's theatre results. Sicario opened to the equivalent of $9.8M and Bridge of Spies had a second weekend of "$13.1M". Peanuts opened to "$44.1M" and Spectre opened to "$90.3M" (biggest opening of the year that wasn't called Avengers, Jurassic World, or Minions) Furious 7 and Inside Out both did $85M and $56M respectively.

 

But animated movies have fantastic legs at our theatre (most movies do in general, 5x multipliers are common). Inside Out had nearly an 8x multiplier for example. So I expect Peanuts to finish with "$250-$300M" here.

‘Spectre’ $70.2M Opening: Still 2nd Highest 007 Debut.

ouch for Spectre, legs might not be good

[John Marston]

Bye bye 200m domestic

[picores]

4m down? Wow.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

(sigh) This is a very boring letdown of an OW for a film like this.

 

First Hobbit: BOTFA, last year.....now this? This?.....Man....people are kinda not wanting to see Bond-films on mass....again.  And that's pretty sad.

 

But then again...even QoS dropped with actuals, 7 years ago.  http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?view=studioest&yr=2008&wknd=46&p=.htm

 

That film was at $70M OW but dropped down to $67M OW.

Wow, I figured the $28m Friday number might be very sketchy after Alfred reported it was headed more for $26m-ish. Seems Sony read Deadline's $28m number on Friday night and decided to go with it for the sake of Sunday headlines.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

It didn't even out-open Hobbit 2.......

 

Much to Bond-fans dismay ......and much to Middle-Earth fans amusement.

 

Remember when Skyfall beat the shit out of Hobbit: AUJ?? Well.....time for payback.

No one remembers that the Hobbit movies exist, let alone Skyfall beating one of them a decade ago

It's amazing how what used to be considered great openings are now so.... boring.

Down about 22.5% from Skyfalls's $90.56m.

 

Which way to the Spectre under MI5 Domestic club?

Also, numbers Bond fans would consider "good" for Skyfall are now "disappointing" 3 years later.  The price paid for higher expectations.

Only unexpected flops, break out hits and record breakers are truly fun.

There is no way it's not a disappointment. I don't care if most Bond movies aren't Skyfall, it was coming off a massive success that was supposedly loved by the GA. Franchise rules tell us it should be an OW equal to or greater than SF. Even MI5's "disappointing" OW was decently bigger than MI4's would've been with a traditional release.

I thought this holiday season from November & December was supposed to be an exciting season, Box-office wise.

 

Now?......i dunno what to say....I'm not sure if it's gonna be exciting now? What's next? MJ2 not doing well, too?

 

Dull November.

They would have been mildly disappointed 3 years ago if Skyfall, with all that promotion, Bond had only done $2.7m better than QOS four years earlier. 

 

So with more PLF screens, about 500 more theaters and 7 years later it's more than mildly disappointing it's only $2.7m ahead of QOS

TGD is shaping up to be anything but dull. Jury is still out on MJ2, but maybe it will be another repeat of 2013 and a THG movie and animated movie will both do killer business together.
