rcalcagn Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Five-Year should hopefully do better than that; I mean you'd think How I Met Your Mother would help a Jason Segel film but I think that shows how shallow the audience is for any CBS show.

Support your peeps man!I personally can't stand Segel. I only tolerate him on HIMYM because it's a funny show but I would much prefer if he weren't on it.

tommycruise Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wow that is extremely dissapointing for FYE, thought for sure it would do over 20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 its way too early, i still believe FYE will get over 20M, all my years on BOM and BOT, ive never understood why they post these numbers so early, if they are gonna do this, friday night would be better.

baumer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Good god you're a horrible person.Why? Because she doesn't like Apatow? Her opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The last weekend in April before summer seems like a studio dump time. It's a terrible slot for a film to open. In 2010, Expendables was originally slated to open the last week of April, but the studio finally believed in it and moved it to August. April is just a shit time for films, especially the week before Juggernaut opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think we should have a poll, she's suppose to come back for The Avengers so we will no doubt be getting our first report for next Friday around noon Eastern time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I personally love Segal, but I have enjoyed him more in supporting roles. I absolutely loved him in Knocked Up, in fact, he might have been the best part of the movie....so funny. But seeing him as a lead, he's good, but he needs strong support...imo.

iceroll Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Maybe he just isn't meant to play lead. That could be why the Muppets disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Muppets were never that big to begin with, not in terms of film. So 90 mill is fine imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 90 mill is fine imo.The overall gross was pretty good compared to the budget, but Disney had an amazing marketing campaign for it and a lot of people expected better.

BK007 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Muppets was overestimated by this board by a hell of a longshot.My original prediction was 75m, what did it end up with? Has it broken 80m?Fact is it was never that popular and it looked lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 "Obsessed", Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Fast Five" may disagree. FF is a tentpole, far from a dump. And Nightmare was going to do well no matter what. Obsessed, good point, but for the most part the week before Summer kicks off is not the best time to release a movie. FF was released the first week of May, it just happened to fall on the last day of April as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In relation to what the other Muppets films grossed, it did well.Even adjusted, it works out to be the second best Muppets film of all time.http://boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=muppets.htm&adjust_yr=2012&p=.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
