Well if that's the case, isn't it impressive that such movies don't get affected at all by critic reviews and earn a lot of money? I mean, that's awesome immunity right there.

 

Yeah but some posts here read like it broke out and did $60m+ or something. Being in line with its predecessor is good, but let's not get carried away.

 

Of course we don't even have actual Friday numbers yet so it can go either up or down.

I predicted sometime ago in some thread that Ride Along 2 will unseat TFA from #1 spot. 

 

...didn't everyone?

I was expecting 40m or less. so yeah its a break out for me

The derby average is 26m 3 day, that's about 31.5m 4 day.

that's why we hear the whining

Wow, that's quite an achievement for RA2. I thought my 40m might have been high after those previews.

Bit it's very early.

 

 

Btw, they changed the numbers for Star Wars and Revenenat and now have:

SW: $28m-$31m

Rev: $32m - $34m

Earlier, they had $30m-$31m for both movies.

Dammit MT, tricking me again! I was totally expecting 50m or so for the 5 day for RA2 before the MT showing was so bad. Should've known better. 

I stopped taking Movie Tickets seriously after the whole Black Mass thing. Another tracking service falls. Man, the days of RS and MTC feel so long ago already.

13 Hours finds a new supporter: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/glenn-beck-asks-audience-see-856277

 

Quote

Glenn Beck on Monday practically begged his radio audience on Friday to see 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi not only because he says it's a great film about U.S. military heroes, but also to send a message to Hollywood that "these are the kinds of movies that we like."

During his final few minutes on the air Friday, Beck first played an endorsement of the movie from Ted Cruz that the Texas senator made the night before during the GOP presidential primary debate.

"Tomorrow morning, a new movie will debut, about the incredible bravery of the men fighting for their lives in Benghazi and the politicians who abandoned them," Cruz said Thursday.

"That movie is opening tonight," Beck said after the Cruz audio. "What a message it would send if it's opening weekend would be the weekend that this movie knocks Star Wars out of the No. 1 spot.

He added: "Dare I say, it will not be the No. 1 movie in New York City, but if it could be the No. 1 everywhere else in the country, it would send a message — and a good message. I warn you, it is going to make you a little angry."

Beck compared 13 Hours to American Sniper and Lone Survivor, calling them three of the best war movies he has ever seen.

But MT isn't a tracking service. It's just a momentary glimpse at sales from the second-leading online ticket seller.

I still think they are pretty good as far as tracking goes, since that will never be perfect. But they seem to just have weeks now and then where they are way off.

Yeah, but we basically use it like tracking.

True, but we all know those are hard to gauge unless a movie is blowing up BIG time. Clearly I've been following this stuff for too long.

I have very little background in American politics so pro or anti certain American political parties will all go over my head. So I hope when I see this, I can just judge it as a movie without having any bias towards it.

Rev  27.5-29

I like these numbers

norm down to 3% on RT

going to on demand by Thursday at this rate

 

 

[MovieMan89]

Just noticed 13 Hours' RT score. Damn, that's like Gravity level acclaim for a Bay film.

Among recent stuff, I def prefer The Hurt Locker to American Sniper

[MovieMan89]

LS is no cinematic masterpiece, but it's one of the best war movies this decade at least.

I like American Sniper but it isn't even close (except in cinematography).

[IronJimbo]

It doesn't matter, Star wars has won guys. Domestic is everything... from a certain point of view.

I really like Sniper and especially Cooper in it but there are some things in it that nag me.
