BK007 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was originally thinking 28m for Star Wars (about 3-4 months back) but 23m is still a very good number, which is good only because it means ANH will eventually come out, but really the entire prequel trilogy is meh with ROTS being abhorrent.

baumer Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 A couple of months ago. The majority thought that SW3D would win (I actually had it at 2nd place just behind Journey 2). Almost nobody had them behind The Vow and Safe House.So everyone thought SW would open higher than 25 mill? I don't remember that. I think many people had SW at 20-25 mill before the Fandango number came out. Denzel movies always open higher than 20 mill and if you look at other Sparks films, they too open higher than 20 mill. so maybe I wasn't paying attention but I don't remember anyone saying SW would win the weekend. Guru had it 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmpro Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Should be a close race for the number 1 spot IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDodsen Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 23M isn't bad for The Phantom Menace considering that many of the casual fans see this as the lamest of the six. I'll be home this week and can finally see it. I can't wait!!! Hopefully it can keep up the momentum and get passed the 500M mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTF Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) It's still making more than it deserves to.Amazing weekend! I would never have believed two movies like the vow and safe house could open in February and both make $40m ow! Journey 2's sat jump is really impressive and TPM is a good opening (especially considering it's dislike by the majority of its fan base). I never saw it this weekend as I planned as me and my friends came to our senses and realized paying $15 for a bad 3D conversion of a bad/so-so prequel wasn't worth it (especially since we could just watch it on blu-ray now).Also, Baumer, I think you're way off about The Artist. Just because you don't appreciate it and understand its appeal, that doesn't make it a bad movie (in no way is it a 0/10, even if you don't like it), it's more of a you problem, not a problem with the movie (I don't mean that harshly, just not sure how else to word it). For example, I had a friend in school who hated calculus and said it was terrible because he wasn't good at it and failed the class. But it doesn't mean calculus is terrible just because he didn't get it and didn't like it, etc. Edited February 12, 2012 by FTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The Artist is a good movie, but come on, what theater even wants to show a black and white silent film today? They should wait until after it wins Best Picture to expand it some more. Incredible weekend. Even Journey exceeded all expectations. Slightly disappointing number for Star Wars, I would have expected something closer to The Lion King, but new movies will always win over old ones at the box office.
