lab276 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Why'd you expect such a good drop from last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Actually, this sucks. I honestly expected 5M for THG...Why on earth would you expect a 250% Friday increase for it? That almost never happens for any movie on any day. This is by far the best single day increase its had.

forg Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Oh Chris Brown is in Think Like a Man? Imagine if they released Battleship in the U.S this week, media will feast with Rihanna vs Chris headlines Edited April 21, 2012 by forg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I think Kevin Hart is a much bigger draw than Chris Brown. His standup comedy movie made 8 million dollars which is pretty impressive in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Lol. THG drops by 0.1M. Why does it always drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Lol. THG drops by 0.1M. Why does it always drop? Because overestimated is the second name for THG. :PIf it follows last weekend's jumps/drops, it should get 12.5M weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Massive for TlaM, and the prviews thought it as a mini-Tyler Perry. Only 1TP-movie had a better OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I am surprised by the 12 million number but I was sure that it was going to be big. Everything was just perfectly lined up for a movie like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Too bad urban movies like TLAM do so poorly overseas. I wonder what the highest grossing predominantly black movie overseas is.It's a pity. Even if they have a (white) star like in Guess Who. DOM/OS 69/33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTX Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Why on earth would you expect a 250% Friday increase for THG? That almost never happens for any movie on any day. This is by far the best single day increase its had.That's exactly what happened in 2007. So, yeah I thought THG could follow Disturbia and increase 300% on Friday.Friday numbers for holdovers are pitifully weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldenfirefly Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 THG is closing in on ROTK and DH2. Go THG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 But then that would be just a 20% drop from last Friday. Why would it have that well?Because THG's holds grew progressively stronger every weekend. And the fact that the spring breaks are over should result in films fading at a slower rate.
