Fake Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I read through the whole Friday thread (which was a pretty entertaining read), and I must ask, has there ever been so much crow served to a person who was right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Nothing about THG is disappointing at this stage.So it's acting more like a sequel, who cares? It's going to top $300m with its first film by a wide margin.Great for 21 Jump Street! It'll pass $100m with ease thankfully.Loving the WOTT drop from Clash. At the last minute (or rather at the end of February) I underestimated the American public and thought they would return hence bumping my sub-100m prediction up to 135m to be safe. Of course that was before THG ran riot and pummelled WOTT into oblivion.Absolutely woeful for John Carter, it drops nearly 50% PTA I think.

baumer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 $67m would've been fantastic.It doesn't work like that. THG didn't lose any theaters, they just moved them over. So the gross would have been maybe a mill more, if that. I don't feeling like figuring it out exactly, but it's something like $3.00 extra in 250 theaters, so the total really isnt that noticeable.

AniNate Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 If 21JS keeps up this pace it could finish over $150 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I hate to sound like a broken record (do any of you even know what that sounds like...are you old enough to have played a record?) but those of us that were realistic about this film have been preaching that because it opened so massively it would behave like a sequel and drop like one. I think a 60% drop is quite good as i thought it would do 57-59 mill. So this hold is very good indeed. But 152 mill for a non sequel is just astonishing and it had no choice but to drop harshly. Still, the films numbers are mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) THG vs AliceWeekend #1: 131%Weekdays #1: 123%Weekend #2: 97%Alice made 124.8M after 2nd weekend. THG should make a few millions less than that. 365-375M looks like the range. Edited April 1, 2012 by Fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 BTW could American Reunion pull a Scream 4 on us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I don't see how. Well, it dropped just 27% this weekend, right? If it dropped that much the rest of the way that would push it over $150 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxofficeth Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Who would of thought that JC and WoTT would be opening lower than 21JS?I hope WoTT will cross 100M with light competition before it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well, it dropped just 27% this weekend, right? If it dropped that much the rest of the way that would push it over $150 mil.No direct competition this weekend. Third weekend drops can typically be the best one for a well received film. But with American Reunion coming out and then summer just around the corner, it won't continue dropping like this. It will challenge 125 I think but 150 is just too much, imo.

RichWS Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I really went too high on Mirror at the last minute. I thought for sure it could do at least $22M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Im saddened that 21 Jump Street might get hit hard next weekend by AmericanReunionI hope not. AP movies are beyond overrated, none of those fuckers went onto bigger things, they are all known as Stifler and whatever other names, and Buffy witch is still known as Buffy witch.

AP's are legendary films. This is a case where the sum is definitely greater than the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This might sound strange right now, but I don't think American Reunion will hurt 21JS at all. I think both play to two different audiences and 21JS has a younger demographic. IMO, 21JS could have a 10m fourth weekend and reach a total upwards of 140m. Fun fact: Journey 2 has been in the top 10 for 8 consecutive weeks. No movie has done that since Bridesmaids. Four movies in the top ten have an average below $1000, including John Carter.

Jack Nevada Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think it's pretty neat that small limited release movies like Casa de Mi Padre, October Baby and Salmon Fishing have been making the top ten lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
