kayumanggi Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw wrath this afternoon and thought it was better than Clash.I agree. However this doesn't mean much right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 How the fuck is it even possible? That's like ridiculous.It pretty much had the most frontloaded release date imaginable: It's Friday was the 13th, Saturday was Valentine's Day, and Monday was a holiday. Check this out: http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=fridaythe13th09.htm86% drop on its second Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B J Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I believe it's the Friday the 13th remake, which grossed $40m on OW and then stalled out at $65m (!!!). I'm thinking Wrath will be frontloaded, but not that frontloaded, heh.Almost, Highschool Musical 3 is the winner, 42m opening wknd but it had a much better multiplier topping out at 90m. Paranormal Activity 4 should take the record later on this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Variety pretty much just copy and pasted THR's article that said 60m. Both sites don't know how to extrapolate though. 20m wouldn't mean a 60m weekend for THG. It would be much higher than that if the 20m number is accurate.

B J Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 80% tumble on the second weekend, no wonder. Devil Inside Me just posted the worst multiplier for a wide release earlier this year, somehow besting Friday the 13th, with an implosive 1.57 multilier vs jason 1.62.

B J Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 That's just shameful.Beyond shameful, its flat out appalling, nothing BO related disgusts me more than a bad film making a ton of money ala the twilight films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if Paranormal Activity 4 can top Watchmen as the highest opener to not get a 2.0 mutliplier.Edit: Maybe Breaking Dawn 2 can annihilate it. Part 1 was at ~2.04 Edited March 31, 2012 by Biggestgeekever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 That's just shameful.That multiplier is pitiful but the film itself was extremely profitable. It had a mere 1m budget and it made 97m worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 20 M is just even a guess. This "guessing" of media sites is starting to annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part 1 was at ~2.04Those are definitely the two mega front-loaded films of choice, my preference would be BD2 since the film is guaranteed to be the inferior of the two.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wrath is preforming as expected. People hated the first one so a drop was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really look that much into the film, it was a one week wonder and then faded from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wrath is a sequel no one asked for, and it's performing likewise at the box office. It won't hit 30m off of a 11m-12m opening and that really just stinks. Low 6s for Mirror, Mirror isn't great either. Hunger Games is just rolling over the marketplace... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
