RTX Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Think Like a Man did 550K at midnights last night, which according to boxoffice.com is "really strong for a non sequel".This seems to be an event film for black people, should be quite frontloaded.

baumer Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 This seems to be an event film for black people, should be quite frontloaded.Maybe not. Unless you mean this weekend. But i think it will follow the same pattern as this:http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=jumpingthebroom.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use the "term" taking down loosely, lol.I know, I thought the same thing when I saw the MSNBC guy say it on a "news break" on the Weather Channel this morning. I was like .... huh? I thought it was supposed to be The Lucky One doing it. Although I imagine both may gross higher than HG this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Efron's movie finishes ahead of THG this weekend it will get him all kinds of press as a box office champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 "event film"what makes you think that? Is it because of Steve Harvey?Well the book is rather popular among black people. On Thursday it accounted for 42% of Fandango sales, that's pretty high for a romantic comedy. I can see this having a Madea like run. OW will be pretty big and account for 40%+ of its total.Oh and nice increase for THG! Let's hope it can have a huge Friday increase to go with it.

I kind of remember something about it.The Lucky Ones is based on a popular Nicholas Sparks book as well.Let's see which adaptation will win.TLK said Think Like a Man is gonna take the weekend. He gets props if this holds true. Edited April 20, 2012 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has a shot at 30m TBH. The Lucky One should be able to clear 20m. THG is looking at a 13-14m weekend. The top 3 movies at the BO will all be book adaptations!

blackspider Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It really makes you wonder if its lack of IMAX will be the difference between getting 400m or not. At the moment, I haven't completely ruled out 400m but it's definitely tough sledding from here (~5-8% chance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Maybe they thought it has a chance of the OW record and didn't want to jeopardize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
