250 for MIB3? Shit. I have it around 150.

Madagascar: 175Ice age: 150-170

I find this kind of surprising.

Safe House also had Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as leads, strong critical buzz, opened in the middle of February where it's only competition was Chronicle, and had an actual plot.

That's besides the point. He's just showing that a film that has no midnight demand can and has made 40 mill opening weekend off a non existent midnight number.

[Fake]

The weekend numbers are out for Battleship already? It's 8:30 on the West Coast in the US. How did you get the numbers already?

You don't know? I fucking stole the time machine from Nikki!

[Chewy]

I have it at 155M in BSG but if the reviews are anything to go by 200 will happen

[kyky]

i think TA has something to do with how bad movies are performing. the year started so good. no blockbuster hit, but many mid-level performing films. and then all of a sudden...everything is disappointing. and you can't say the films released in the first months were amazing quality.

250 for MIB3? Shit. I have it around 150.

MIB will be lucky of going a little bit ahead of 150.TASM in other hand will be the sleeper hit. There's always the summer sleeper hit. Edited May 18, 2012 by iJackSparrow

I thought you were out of plutonium though.

We'll see. There are some awfully big red flags that led up t this moment though.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Off topic but you gotta love how Nikki had a classic tagline for both blockbusters this yearTHG- "Hefty per theater increase"TA- "Not a record"I wonder what's next!

[Fake]

MIB3 looks in a good position to do 200M unless Prometheus really breaks out and kills its legs.

[ZattMurdock]

Well if every year a movie like TA hits the theaters, I'm okay with most everything else sucking.

Seriously though, TA is a blockbuster monster that opened in the beginning of the summer movie season, it was bound to happen like this with the other movies. And for what I've seen of BS, it deserves to sink.

[John Marston]

MIB3 will do well. It will likely outgross Prometheus and Snow White, whether people want to admit it or not

[ecstasy]

AVENGERS 400M!TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT. ANOTHER RECORD!BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ecstasy]

MIB3 will do well. It will likely outgross Prometheus and Snow White, whether people want to admit it or not

YES.

[John Marston]

Battleship could have done better with probably a better lead actor. Also, overall though Battleship, while an underperformer, won't be the Stealth type bomb many were expecting

I'm happy to admit it now that it looks like it's not the disaster I was expecting

[rockNrollaDIM]

I'm hoping MIB3 bombs. Looks like shit. But that's just me.

[Fake]

I thought you were out of plutonium though.

It is the advanced version...Nikki has outdone Doc.... now you take a shit in it and it runs!!And I never seem to run out of that.

You are not alone. It wont bomb, but by god I hope it does.
