MovieMan89 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 In some ways it's good to see most of the general public has half their memory left and obviously aren't being duped into paying money to see The Phantom Mess again. Anyways it's done enough for them to continue these 3D re-releases, so that's all that matters. Bring on 2015 and A New Hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Really great numbers. I am now firmly on the Ghost Rider 2 35 million+ bandwagon. We've had action, romance, horror and other genres overperform this year. Now this is the turn of a comics/super hero adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every single other intent, dear god I hope it doesn't do that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 BOM updated their Tuesday numbers with TMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Only $1.6m for TMW? That's horrible considering Valentine's Day + the ultra aggressive marketing campaign its had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It was only playing one showing in each of the theatres it was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't know what to make of the number- some theaters only showed it at 7:00, while others kept it playing the rest of the night- but it doesn't look good to me. First real disappointment of 2012 coming up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It was only playing one showing in each of the theatres it was in.Ah, didn't know that. That makes much more sense. Still not too promising a start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I just think it's important to stress that unless you have seen something you don't have the right to tell us if its good or not.That's the Rotten Tomatoes effect I guess. Not that it's bad if you use that as your movie watching guide but sometimes it's weird how people passionately hate a movie they haven't seen just because it's rated "rotten" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm actually a bit impressed with the number for TMW. As has been mentioned it was just 1 showing with limited advertising (even I didn't know it had a Tuesday showing until I was checking movie times on Monday) and it had huge direct competition from TV, which wa the obvious #1 choice for couples yesterday. The weekend numbers should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 With regards to the This Means War number, not only did we only play one show, but we had to put it in our 7 slot for Chronicle.I am not sure if every theater had to do that, but l wouldn't doubt it, they are both Fox after all. So, what I am trying to say, is that Chronicle is in one of our smallest theaters now, like 113 seats or so. We did sell out our sneak of This Means War, and it was stupid busy. If it were in a larger theater it could have easily done more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If you want to go into specifics, Underworld, Red Tails, OFTM, Man on a Ledge and Big Miracle all haven't made back their budgets yet though.Underworld, as noted, has a great WW total. PLUS, it's going into the long 4-day weekend with a $60m total. It's very likely going to see $70m domestic(it's budget). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very likely going to see $70m domestic(it's budget).I'm not talking about worldwide. Certainly many films are resurrected as U4 undoubtedly will be/is, but domestically it'll probably fall short. It's not disappointing per se more like overbudgeted. Either way This Means War surely won't lose as much as Big Miracle, which I think leads the losers at this point.Also re: Chronicle being displaced by TMW, explains the relatively low increase compared to the rest of the field.

Krissykins Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Excellent for Woman in Black.My other half and I went to see it on Valentine's and it was sold out.The film was OK. About as scary as a movie rated 12A here could be. Some genuine frights and jumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Oh, and ok for This Means War, I guess.I feel like this film should do $25m+ this 4-day weekend.But reviews and tracking are putting me off this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film market is global now. So you can't just take one market and determine whether or not the film is a success. By doing that, you eliminate billions of potential dollars. If a film does well WW, then it does well. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
