MrWhoopee Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 There's also people like me who wanted to see both so I watched WIB last night and will be watching Chronicle tonight.I know you all are wondering about this- there were definitely people in my theater that were big Harry Potter fans showing up with family and friends to see Woman in Black. Casting Radcliffe was a GREAT idea. I really enjoyed his performance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The ladies love them some Harry Potter: THE WOMAN IN BLACK was 59% female, 41% male. It's not the size of the wand, it's the magic it creates. Cinemascore: B- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Wow, is Radcliffe a bonified box office star now? Call me impressed, he hit the publicity circuit hard, good for them! LOL, too early for that and the low budget helps. But he did open this one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The 60-70% tumbles on Sunday begs the question, why release a movie now?They don't ever recover over the course of their run unless they happen to be Taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop54 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 $6M for Underworld Awakening is pretty good right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhoopee Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 112m Friday??? That's got to be some kind of record!!! The true crazy part is it would have only beat the record by 20 million lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's as close as it gets for the top! My estimates:Woman in Black - $19.8 millionChronicle - $19.1 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekVl Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 LOL, too early for that and the low budget helps. But he did open this one for sure.haha wasn't trying to compare him to Brad Pitt or anythingOnly point was that most of the advertising played the point that Radcliffe was the star, and if it opens to 20+ I could see him given a chance to open more filmsHe was EVERYWHERE for this film! (the snl/lana del Ray publicity couldn't have hurt either) So good for them for having a successful film! Shouldn't be contested for the horror genre for a little while either!

RichWS Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 My girlfriend and I were talking recently about how likable Radcliffe was during interviews. We're not going to see the movie, but he's definitely an ace when it comes to publicity. It definitely helps the film and the studios love stars who put the work in on the circuit. Tom Cruise, for example, has always been one of the best at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Does anyone know the cinemascore for Chronicle? I'm assuming it will be quite high and with the good wom and a massive Sunday drop in store, it might drop less than 40% next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I was expecting A- at least because of the reviews... Still decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Nice start for both openers. Would be nice to see them both get over 20m for the weekend.Chronicles Cinemascore is just ok at a B. Thought it would have been higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop54 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I was expecting A- at least because of the reviews... Still decent.Good reviews do not always equate to a good CinemaScore. Just look at Underworld Awakening (28% RT, A- CinemaScore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle16 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Good reviews do not always equate to a good CinemaScore. Just look at Underworld Awakening (28% RT, A- CinemaScore).I dont think that's a good comparison. Underworld has a built in fanbase it's not going to make more outside of the franchise current fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
