baumer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What's with the huge drop for Journey 2?Kids movies always drop massively on Mondays. Journey, SW and even some of the older films playing that are aimed at kids. They'll have the biggest jumps on Saturday this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) So is the expectation then that since this is Valentines Day that other films who might normally see a 1-5% bump for Discount Tuesdays can forget about it BECAUSE any Romeo worth is salt will cave and go to Vow or at least This Means War? So Safe House, Woman in Black, SW:TPM 3-D, Journey 2, The Grey etc, basically anything but Vow or TMW will decrease most likely? Seems like what I'm reading. Not really- it's still discount Tuesday and not every couple going to the movies today will see just TV or TMW...plus there will be plenty of people going to the movies today that aren't on dates/are single, etc. So other movies will still increase today.

baumer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Today is just a very big movie going day for everyone. Sure The Vow will benefit the most from it but there are plenty of films that will see big bumps today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I just checked the website for the nearest multiplex to me, The Vow is on 2 screens and 4 of the 6 evening shows are sold out already, safe to assume the other shows will sell out as well. Nothing else has a sell out yet.The combination of Valentine's Day falling on discount Tuesday and a freshly released romance movie could add up to close to a $10 million day.

Fake Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Both The Vow and Safe House should be hitting 100M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 You see there is a reason why studios were avoiding reissues for so long.It was called: the home video market. Nearly every major pre 1980 release relied on these. But then once the home video market happened, people were just not as intrested in these.

Robertron Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Will Tuesday numbers be stupid estimates or will they be actuals?I hate estimates for non weekends or public holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Both The Vow and Safe House should be hitting 100M.With PD holiday helping, they will. Both will be over 80M after this long weekend.Also, Journey 2 has a good chance to reach that mark. This long weekend will play very strong and can reach the 60M mark. The weekend after President Day has zero competition. Edited February 15, 2012 by stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Kids movies. No different than any kids film in the dead of winter falling that much on a Monday.Agree. The fact TPM is having a run like a kids flick is positive. It's a sign that a new generation is going to the cinemas to see that. Maybe, we can be surprised by a decent hold next long weekend. PD is very friendly to kids films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The legs it had during 1999 were really amazing. What if it connects with kids again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The legs it had during 1999 were really amazing. What if it connects with kids again?Don't think this will happen. In 99 the SW fanboys dragged their kids into TPM and they loved it. Won't happen again this time IMO.Maybe the ANH 3D re-release will deliver great numbers again.

stripe Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm also sceptical with the legs, but with SW nothing is sure. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I think this will play more like Jedi from 98. It will probably end with 45-50 mill and hopefully close to 100 mill WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
