Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Damn, Dexter's prediction is epic and probably he'll end up in the red zone as well. I did have at 200/600 but changed before the deadline. I knew this going to blowup but nobody believed me. I am still happy that I called the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsMoses Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 We screwed with TA, but it doesn't really matter as nobody will get points. DS however really messed up a lot of players top 12 already. Battleship is the next one to flop hopefully. I left both DS and Battleship out of my top 12.I got Battleship at #12 with $144. No matter how bad it's WOM is, any opening above $40m will still guarantee $100m. Look at TF2, it has an mp of 3.7, and people hated it (i thought it was pretty good). With this movie having a same feel to it, but looking much more serious, it shouldn't have a hard time with a 3.0 mp, and its gonna end up in the Top 12.What I worry, is that I think I might've underestimated Snow White, the tv spots makes it look really good; but I hate that Kristen bitch, hopefully she's asleep the entire time, lol.

Jake Gittes Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 TF2 was a Wednesday release. Take away $91m it made in its first two days, its total gross is $311m. Which would result in a 2.85 multiplier. And that movie was released in late June, not mid-May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsMoses Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Opens with $45m and give it a 2.7 multiplier, that's $121m. I got it at $144m, and yeah, it's entering the Top 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I don't get what this means?Was a joke, haha I meant that people seem so sure that Dark Shadows and Battleship are already out of contention, which certainly looks likely, but whatever people decided to replace them with, Rock of Ages, for example, may do even worse, so while they may not hit the overpredicted numbers that required them to enter people's top 12's they could make it by being the least disappointing performers out of a whole host of other disappointing and dispiriting runs.

Right now I'm pretty sure DS doesn't make the top 12. But Battleship could and for all we know it could make 200-300-400 mill. It could make 50 mill too. No one knows. There's always a few films every year that really come out of nowhere (Bridesmaids, Rise of Planet of the Apes, The Proposal, Smurfs, Grown Ups, The Hangover) to do well and there are always films that disappoint (T-4, Angels and Demons, Super 8, Cowboys and Aliens to name a few). So this year is wide open. We all know TA, TDKR, Brave Spidey and MIB are locked to hit the top 12. But after that, there are a lot of wildcards.....Prometheus, Expendables Rock of Ages and many others. So this game has just begun. And no one knows anything at this point.

rockNrollaDIM Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Very happy I passed on DS and BS in the top 12... Come onnnnn Rock of Ages!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsMoses Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 You were saying.....I was still right. I said anything above $40m ow will guarantee $100m. I didn't say that it will gross $100m no matter what.Technically I'm still right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 RoA can't flop this bad. And it will have definitely better legs than BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I don't see Rock of Ages making more than 100m. I left it out so I hope I am right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AASixteen16 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It's not looking good for me so far. Gonna be a good $150M-$200M off Avengers (O.o) and Dark Shadows is topping out around $80M AND will not make the the top 12. Only thing good is that I didn't put BS into my Top 12, other than that, my predictions suck ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So glad I didn't have Dark Shadows or Battleship in my top 12. But I took a risk and put The Dictator as my wildcard - but I'm pretty sure it'll end up grossing more than Battleship anyway even if it doesn't reach 100m!
