Early Friday Numbers (The Lorax - 17.5M; Project X - 8.2M)

[CJohn]

I am predicting an OW around 40-45M, but I believe the potential to open with more is there.

33/100The tracking is abysmal....

[DAR]

Well as we know tracking can be off from time to time both higher and lower.

True, but those awareness/interest/first choice numbers... that's just wow.... bad

[ecstasy]

What is it about John Carter that gets people upset about low predictions. I have never seen this reaction for any other film. What am I missing? People make absurd predictions all the time and then they're clowned when they're wrong. What is it I'm missing?

Golden rule of BOM-1. Thou shalt wack off to Wall-E and everyone involved with itIt's residual fanboyism from that pic.

I believe John Carter has a 50 mil OW.

Another stellar weekend.I've never been more confident in Avengers, TDKR, and Hobbit doing sickly massive numbers later this year. 2012 is living up to my greatest expectations so far, even surpassing in some ways. Its about frakking time.

I can't say I'm upset but more disappointed that it was never really given the benefit of the doubt originally. Now that early word is come out that it's actually pretty good maybe that will help it out. Then again Taylor Kitsch tends to gravitate towards projects once in a while that don't hit with the general public but are of high quality, FNL.

Since I'm heterosexual, I prefer EVE, but to each his own.

I've never even heard of Taylor Kitch until like last week... what has he been in? I thought this was his film debut.

[Neo]

He has been in a few, but this is his first big role. After this he has a full slate.

Given the benefit of the doubt as a good film or for it's box office potential?

[rockNrollaDIM]

I nearly got crucified a few years ago when I said I don't like Wall-E and think it's too high brow for a kids movie... People here are very passionate about that.

He was Gambit in Wolverine but he was in Friday Night Lights tv show.

Though shall be stonned for underestimating Disney and John Carter.

It's definitely massively overrated by the online community, that's for damn sure.
