The song might be the one place where SPECTRE has the leg up on Skyfall.

 

Writing on the Wall is so much fucking better than Skyfall (then again I'm anti-Adele)

 

Lol

[MrPink]

I could see as low as 190m and as high as about 225m. Honestly the Sat number is pretty good considering 5.3m in previews on Friday

Jeeze, why are they expanding these Award run films so quickly.  It's killing them.

Seems they should've expanded Steve Jobs much sooner

Maybe an either or thing.  Use all that marketing force upfront and open it wide the first week or build it slower and ride those award and critic nominations.

Very few movies don't make 200M after grossing 75M OW.

 

So Spectre does have a shot even if falling right below 75M.

True. There has only been some movies that have opened at $72M or higher and didn't get $200M DOM.

 

The Simpsons Movie, Fifty Shades of Grey & X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That's those 3 films.

I'm not an Adele fan, I find her music bland but the meandering Writing n The Wall with Smith's thin screechy falsetto is horrible.

 

Skyfall is a million times better song.

Both are good imo. Adele was just so huge in 2012.

 

Well, Sam Smith is one of the most successful singers in the past year, but yeah, he's still nowhere near Adele's popularity in 2012. In fact, Adele is still huge in 2015. Just look at the number of downloads for her new song in its first week.

BRIDGE OF SPIES took in an estimated $6.09M this weekend. Domestic total stands at $54.97M. #BridgeOfSpies

Even China couldn't save WB's PAN, as it has grossed just $4.6M there, $81M internationally.

Commercially, Adele is on a different plane than any other pop artist right now.  Even T Swift.  1.11 million digital downloads of 'Hello' first week SHATTERING the record from 2009 of 636k.  It's already moved over 200,000 records in PRESALES and most forecasters are putting 25's first week sales somewhere between 1.3 and 1.8 million breaking the record for highest first week sales from a female (breaking Britney Spears Oops I Did It Again record).  Sam had a great year but Adele is truly in a league of her own.  

 

The fact that 21 went DIAMOND in the climate the music industry is in still shocks the hell out of me.

 

I'm a huge fan of both Smith and Adele but I think Writings on the Wall's chorus is SO weak.  Adele nailed Skyfall though.

Adele is not that successful in Asia tho. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are still bigger than her.

I was talking domestic.  Her only rival here is Swift.  Katy Perry is a singles artist in the U.S., she can't move records.  And Gaga is not what she used to be when it comes to sales either, though she was never that huge.
