raspberrysquid Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'm looking at the releases for the weekend before July 4, 2012 and there's only Magic Mike and GI Joe.Isn't this weekend traditionally filled with big-budgeted blockbuster movies? It's odd. Will Smith's (king of 4th of July) movie is in May. The new Spider-man is 2 days after. Ice Age (always the token 4th of July kiddie movie) is two weekends after.Why did studios avoid such a traditionally lucrative weekend?

Neo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It can be confusing, this year there is on 4th of July weekend for movies. TASM is not 2 days after it will still have a boost from the weekend, but not be counted as a traditional 4th, but could get the record for the weekend.As for why studios avoided this weekend I don't know.

Neo Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Spidey is there as well as GIJoe 2.Won't be counted as the 4th wknd. Gi-Joe2 doesn't have the 4th wknd on OW, the next day would have been the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 ASM is out on the 3rd of July, not the 6th. It would have been a Wednesday opening if the 4th wasn't such a weak day for box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
