tonytr87 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Boring/disappointing #s and the calm before the storm as others have mentioned. Also, what's with all the Segel hate? FSM, KU and The Muppets are great.Anytime a comedian actor becomes popular there's an online backlash. Not sure why. People are just spiteful like that. He really is a good actor. He showed surprising depth in Sarah Marshall and Jeff Who Lives at Home. The latter is his best performance I think. If an actor has talent and they pick good projects there's no reason to hate on them, but such is the world we live in where a website like PerezHilton exists and celebrities are judged like that (cough fishnets cough).

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 A 25% drop would be quite impressive, even with IMAX. So what do you all think it will drop next weekend? 40%?I'm not even gonna venture a guess until I see its theater drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Ugh. HG goes down again. That's before it goes down later and then down with actuals. Not necessarily. Nikki gave 3.8m last Friday in her late night update for THG and then it went up to $4m with BOMs Friday estimates. So it could still go back up.

MovieMan89 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Said before I thought 5YE would be a fart in the wind and it looks that way atm.Same. It always looked like a huge stinker to me. Just never saw any appeal with it whatsoever. Still the fact that it may not even crack 30m total is just pathetic for anything with Apatow's name on it.

Now hopefully it holds in BOM's estimates. Wow, a very close race for places 2/3, for 4/5, for 6/7, and for 8/9. And those first two races could be lumped into one fairly close race for 2 thru 5.

Heretic Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 That's fantastic for THG. With a bit of a push, 400m could be reached. I doubt they'd stop it at 395m.Great for TLAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Awful number for openers but holdovers seem to be doing ok. I was expecting TLAM and TLO to fall a litttle bit more but these numbers are pretty good, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting TLAM and TLO to fall a litttle bit more but these numbers are pretty good, all things considered.It's interesting that both TLO and TLAM beat 5YE in their 2nd weekends. 5YE must really not be appealing to the date night audience whatsoever.

blackspider Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I expected around 3m for THG today but I'll take 2.9m. It might even be 3m when BOM estimates come in. Should be good for 10.5-11m which still puts it on pace for giving 400m a serious run. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The amount of theaters THG loses the week TA comes out is more of a factor than the film itself.THG only lost 180 theaters this weekend and is still the movie with the most theaters. If it can keep more than 3000 theaters when The Avengers opens, I doubt we'll see much of a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code65536 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Has Lionsgate (or any other non-major) ever had three films in the top 10 before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 ^^^ I think people didn't buy the Bridemaids comparisons. Stiil, anything less than 15 million will be bad because I am not expecting good legs. Judd Apatow movies need males in their 20s and 30s to show up but TA will take away all of that demographics next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'd stop it at 395m.Great for TLAM.It's gonna finish with 390-402 and no movie has ever finished with 382-399.9m, yet there are two films between 400 and 403.7m. 100m and even 200m may not be as important to studios as they once were, but 400 still is. I seriously doubt THG finishes between 395-399.9. It will be <394.9 or >400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
