Incarnadine Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Shrek 2 only dropped 33 percent from a 108 OW. What an impressive run for that movie. I remember that, it rivals the original Shrek for impressiveness, the original actually increased by .3% in it's 2nd weekend. That's not something that happens very often, especially on movies that open over 42 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 A $300 million+ last installment that was universally hated (Biggest second weekend drop in that series), starting everything over with a new cast (after the public knows the Raimi cast as those characters), retreading the same territory ten years on and nowhere near the enthusiasm from the masses or fandom. That should always be taken into account...and it never does as we're seeing with Wrath of the Titans. Ditto First Class and Pirates 4 last year. SM1 had tons of hype, but its SM1 top 3 biggest SH franchise out there. 200M with 3D on the 4th, thats a lock thats a lock. Titans wasn't a complete reboot, the here remained the same only a few actors were changed. Pirated 4 really, thats your best one, it crossed 200M.

Moviefanatic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yep. Shrek 2. You're right. EDIT: I could have sworn some tried to spin its opening as a disappointment on first arrival before its insane legs that summer. Anyone else? How could someone spin a 108 OW for an animated movie that opened on a Wednesday into a negative? Must have been Pixar fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wow, way to go Nikki, get all our hopes up to just kick them back down this morning. A 19m Friday is still solid IMO, I predicted 19.5m so not that far off. Should still be able to get 66-67m for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Can Hunger Games still get past 350 m with this second weekend drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmBuff Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Spiderman also had stiff competition from Episode 2. I believe Episode 2 was released 2 weeks after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 33M seems like a best-case scenario for Wrath. Exactly 5 years ago in 2007 Blades of Glory opened to 12.3M and finished with only 33M.But this is a sequel, I expect it to be much more frontloaded - less than 30M for Wrath.

B J Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 unless Saturday is very strong (unlikely with NCAA), this wknd is shaping up to be much weaker than I expected. NCAA could effectively kill Wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTX Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 What does BoG have to do with WotT? Less than 30M total?I was talking about opening weekend total. Wrath needs to increase on Saturday to make over 33M, which is not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Huge Superman fan (I'm the guy who loved Returns - Hi, pleased to meet ya!) but I know The Man of Steel has a big uphill battle ahead of it thanks to the mixed reception of the last film. Its release sucking doesn't help matters either. Man of Steel has the advantage of being the first Superman movie where he punches someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 This is why I don't get all hyped up about the Friday estimates. I just wait until today when BOM puts them up on their front page. I was hoping for mid to upper 60's but low 60s will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 So, this doesn't have a chance at 400M anymore? Or even 380M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 yeah 400M is out of the question but 350M should happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
