MovieGuyKyle16 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 seeing Chronicle this weekend with or without my friends. I have not found anyone to go see this movie with me and it really disappoints me that no one will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanboy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The Woman in Black was the best horror movie I've seen in years. My theater was full capacity for the 7:00 show. The audiences reaction was very very good, tons of screaming and a standing ovation at the end.Legs? I seriously think it can get a 50M total off a 16M OW.

MrWhoopee Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Some people just detest horror, and to each his own, but this one is one of the few horror movies that takes you on a trip and leave an impression. I want to see it again if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 FRIDAY 10 PM, 2ND UPDATE: It’s another bigger-than-predicted box office this Super Bowl weekend with the studios focused on counterprogramming the game. My sources say CBS Films’ The Woman In Black is looking to edge Fox’s Chronicle for No. 1 Friday with $8.1M vs $8.0M respectively Friday and $19.8M vs $19.7M weekend. Trust me, no one in Hollywood projected either movie to get near $20M so this gives new meaning to the term ‘overperform’. But the town is thrilled that 2012 keeps logging good grosses. Woman In Black has hung onto its slight lead longer than originally expected, including evening pre-sales. But the Fox film will lose guys on Sunday so CBS Films should overtake. The Woman In Black is especially a low-cost/high-reward bonanza for its studios, especially because the marketing budget was kept to a bare minimum. The weekend’s biggest budget debut is Universal’s Big Miracle which is No. 4 heading for $2.2M Friday and $8M weekend. Last week’s big winner, Open Road’s The Grey is #3 with a solid -52% hold. Stay tuned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Both have gone up a few million. Not bad for either if it holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If $8M is indeed the Friday number, Chronicle could take a slight dip of 5% on Saturday, then 70% on Sunday. That's a total of $17.9M.Woman in Black could jump 5% on Saturday and drop 65-70% on Sunday. Let's say $19.3M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb02 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The Woman in Black may well match its budget on OW on domestic only? Nice work. A good movie deserves it, and in fact I hope it ultimately scores a 5X ratio WW vs. budget. It could very well do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcalcagn Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Incidentally this is only going to fuel the Potter/Twilight war..."Haha Twitards, OUR leading actor's first lead role opened higher than YOUR leads' feature debuts!!"Still great that both are matching, and in the case of Woman in Black exceeding, expectations.
