Terrible for PROMETHEUS.

[Totem]

Terrible for PROMETHEUS.

Why? 20% drop, respectable number.

Terrible for PROMETHEUS.

sarcasm?

[Totem]

No he has proclaimed Prometheus a disaster everyday.

[Olive]

expected drops

[iceroll]

What percent drops are these?

[tawasal]

M3 is in line with what Xiayun said in tuesdays thread.

[ecstasy]

Looks like good drops to me.

[melmanko]

I wonder if Madagascar can outgross first one. I really wish for 200m,

[druv10]

What percent drops are these?

Around 20% for top 3.

[baumer]

Mad3: -20% (typical)

Prom: -20% (kind of high...R rated films hold a bit better I think) Normal

SWATH: -17%

[Totem]

Prometheus is following a similar trajectory to that of Wanted, Prometheus is also ahead in dailies and should have a better weekend hold, I'm hesitant to say a 3 multi is possible but it should finish above 135m.

[Totem]

I'm telling ya.. PROMETHEUS is destined to be a Cult Classic..

Maybe, all I seem to be seeing on facebook is 'Watching Prometheus... WTF' or 'Prometheus, so confused'. I don't think general audiences are really warming to the film. Edited June 14, 2012 by Totem

Snow White's doing pretty decently now, down 43% from last week.

This is what I'm hearing too. Unfortunately......

Sometimes confusion could be good for repeat viewings, like with Inception or The Sixth Sense.

People seem to have an issue with all the unanswered questions the film leaves you with which you won't get an answer to through a repeat viewing unlike Inception were you might have missed something and watch the film again and pick up on what you had missed.

Prometheus is very well made. Inside my top 5 of the year. I don't understand the hate for it.

[Gopher]

Madagascar dropping 20% is kind of steep, so I don't know what to make of Prometheus's equally steep figure. Should depend on the Friday jump now. Needs 65%-70% to really stay in the game.
