ZattMurdock Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Coming July I'll be focusing in two films if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Well I suppose if you focus exclusively on the one film.I'm not focussing exclusively on the one film. I'm following all the films. But one I like a lot is breaking records and making history. It's fun to watch and it's fun for me. If you don't care about the one film then I can understand this not being fun for you.

MrPink Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 B+ Cinemascore for MIB3, A- from 'Under 18'.Doesn't indicate much of anything I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Well I suppose if you focus exclusively on the one film.I greatly prefer seeing bad movies tank instead of seeing bad movies make bank, and thats pretty much what's happened in May so far. It's even better when a really good movie shatters records at the same time.A 'better' May box office wise wouldve meant something like Battleship doing well, and I prefer not to live in a world where that happens.

I said before I was fine with TA dominating for most of May, but there comes a point where other movies have to do well to fill the void that it's created, which is not happening which makes it boring.

JackO Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Just read they(THR) have no idea what Chernobyl grossed. If I wasnt busy jailbreaking my phone, I'd go to bed. What a mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good bomb or an epic flop can be just as exciting as a smash hit, especially when the bomb or flop is a film of questionable quality.Though I suppose I can see what you mean about this weekend in particular, since it looks like MIB3 is doing more or less what was expected of it, and there's nothing interesting about that.

Now this is paying the price. i doubt it's underperforming because of TA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Wow what a disappointing weekend, I can't believe these are the grosses for Memorial Weekend, supposedly one of the biggest box office weekends of the year. I hope Avengers isn't this summer's only breakout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyky Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 the same thing happened to Mission Impossible. the second one sucked, the third one underperformed (by studio standards/expectations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I like MI2, it's definitely more watchable than MIB2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcalcagn Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 the same thing happened to Mission Impossible. the second one sucked, the third one underperformed (by studio standards/expectations)I think Mission Impossible III had to do with being Tom's first big blockbuster after his crazy loony summer of '05 (couch jumping, Lauer fight, the whole TomKat frenzy) so he had become a very polarizing figure in a very short amount of time.
