Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 9, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) The Nikki karma of "Not A Record" had to eventually balance out. To quote someone that e-mailed me earlier today, how do you overestimate a Friday by $5 million? Edited June 9, 2012 by ShawnMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Did she though? It wasn't her that had the first reports of 27 mill, it was Dean on celly (Variety).I think Shawn means 16M for either Prometheus or Mad 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 WoW, what was overestimated by 5M.Prometheus was first reported at 22-27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 I think Shawn means 16M for either Prometheus or Mad 3.RTH has the number at 21-22 for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted June 9, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Did she though? It wasn't her that had the first reports of 27 mill, it was Dean on celly (Variety).Whoever had it first, she put $26-27m on her site last night (wknd estimate at $68 million). This movie is going to fall off a cliff starting today. Overestimated Friday, disappointing reviews, fanboy-driven audience, poor Cinemascore, and an R-rating? I'm getting flashbacks of Watchmen.Another summer 2012 disappointment in the bag. It needs to be July 20 immediately.

She even posted that on her site with the 26 mill. lolVariety had 26M for Prometheus and Nikke followed suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) At least Madagascar 3 was big...There's been a bit of, shall we say, parity in regards to the quality of the summer blockbusters. Two movies that were expected to be masterpieces (Snow White and Prometheus) turned out to be middling and two movies that were expected to be disasters (MIB3 and Madagascar 3) turned out to be pretty good.
