Rman823 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) When Split makes in its 2nd weekend what I expected it to make in it first. Nice that it's a deserving movie as well. Edited January 29, 2017 by Rman823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion is expanding to nearly 2,000 theaters next weekend. They did fuck up on The Founder though. Keaton could've been the fifth nominee instead of Mortensen had they actually tried to push the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could have done much better with Lion though by getting its theaters up during the Christmas season. Long-lost family reunion tearjerker is perfect holiday material. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they figured Mcconaughey in a movie similar to TWOWS would sell better than a movie with Keaton about the backstory of McDonald's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing that we have two massive breakouts in January already (Yes, Hidden Figures was December, but it was limited). Notice all the breakouts are original movies -no spin-offs/sequels/reboots in sight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it doesn't help that all of those out right now are unecessary and their series are way past their prime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure about that? Regardless tho, nobody expected the next instalments of Underworld, RE and XxX to overshadow Oscar fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair, the only spin-offs/sequels/reboots that have come out so far have been Underworld, xXx, and Resident Evil, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 47 minutes ago, Eevin said: The fact that Hidden Figures is probably going to wind up in the same gross range as La La Land and Split ($140m-$150m) shouldn't go unnoticed. If people go to see films like these three, Hollywood is going to make more. One is a drama about black women at NASA, one is a musical about Hollywood, and one is a psychological thriller. Wake up, Hollywood. We're tired of the big budget, shiny but shallow, CGI excessive, sequel crap. The box office speaks. We want a good time at the movies, not a corporate time at the movies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Fifty Shades Darker is the only one of these that is at all timely (and will draw interest if only to see how much it will fall off from the first movie). Underworld, xXx, Resident Evil, and Rings are all properties that go back to when W. was in his first term as president, so interest in them was always gonna be limited.

Blaze Heatnix Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 As expected, Resident Evil is performing quite good overseas, as it should do. Is there any report about how is it performing, if compared to previous movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
