Friday Numbers (The Vow: 15.4M; Safe House: 13.8M; Star Wars 3D: 8.7M; Journey 2: 6.6M)

On what page is there BOM numbers??Their page is down

Denzel is a draw. If MIB3 flops, it's fair to say that he might be bigger than Smith.

OK, I get you hate Smith but when did Denzel open with $70 mio? Never. He always carry mid-budget movies because his appeal isn`t as big as Smith`s.

[fmpro]

Never mind.. Its up again

[FilmBuff]

This thread is huge. Nice to see.

[fmpro]

Great numbers=many pages

Exactly. Smith is a giant. Washington isn't in the same league as him.

[fmpro]

Agree^^

never, lol.

UA had a poor Friday increase so I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up below the top 10.

It's at number 9.

Great TPM numbers still but disappointed by how much it got adjusted down

Denzel has 1.8 billion in domestic gross....LIFETIME.Smith has 2.5 billion in domestic gross, with half the films.Denzel is consistently doing films that make between 65-85 mill but he is nothing compared to Smith.

[The Dark Alfred]

never, lol.

They were never in the same league, but maybe NOW Denzel can match Smith in the near future. Safe House is a surprise hit and Flight and 2 Guns can hit 100m as well. He's never going to open 70m, cause he's not starring in 200m budget flicks.

The Vow had 100-150 people in my 4:10 showing.

Denzel is an example of an actor who knows his boxoffice limit hence why he is mostly careful with the budget (except Unstoppable which was,like, $100 mio but why?) so nobody can say he`s an underperformer.

Denzel isn't even in the same league as Smith. He doesn't have even half of Will's drawing power.UGH GRAMMAR Edited February 12, 2012 by Noctis

Denzel is in Adam Sandler or Matt Damon's league.Not Will Smith or Johnny Depp's.He still has respectable star power though. If he's in your movie you're guaranteed 65-95 m easy.

1. Adam Sandler is a significantly larger draw than Denzel Washington.2. Matt Damon isn't even a draw.

Denzel never was in a huge blockbuster in the first place.

100m because Fox was stupid enough to give it to him.Great numbers, Journey will really suprise today, SH's audience is skewing older which means the young male audience still really isn't showing up to the theaters, not consistently anyway.

[John Marston]

Pelham 123 was also 100m. Denzels last two films didn't make money in theaters
