rockNrollaDIM Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Can't decide what my favorite of summer has been so far..SWATH or Avengers.This summer sucks a big one. Only films I've bothered to see, now I think of it, are SW, Avengers, and The Dictator. Dictator was terrible, but the other two were pretty good.

AniNate Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 FRIDAY 11 PM: My sources tell me that Pixar’s heroine-in-the-highlands Bravewill open to around $70M this weekend and $25M for today. So it’ll be an easy #1 this weekend – incredibly, Pixar’s 13th straight first place finish. That’s just about where DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted opened two weeks ago for distributor Paramount ($60.3M). Looks like concerns thatBrave would only appeal to girls and their mothers may have been overplayed. Then again, every Pixar 3D movie has opened to at least $60M. Plus, this is a giant release into 4,164 theaters, 2,790 of which are 3D shows. This is the first anti-princess toon bringing Disney into the 21st Century. http://www.deadline.com/2012/06/brave-box-office-results-abraham-lincoln-vampire-hunter-weekend/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 My sources keep lowering their opening weekend estimates for Twentieth Century Fox’s R-rated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (in 3,106 theaters) to $17.5M and possibly under. Today’s debut looks around $6.5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Also just as interesting is the untested mash-up genre. It is only coming in 3rd behind DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted which is #2. My sources keep lowering their opening weekend estimates for Twentieth Century Fox’s R-rated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (in 3,106 theaters) to $17.5M and possibly under. Today’s debut looks around $6.5M. That’s only the mid-teens which tracking was showing and Fox was dreading for the 3D horror thriller. Today’s number includes $701,261 in midnight screenings from 1,168 locations. This Lincoln: Vampire Hunter high-concept/no-stars pic is doing only slightly better than the openings of Tom Cruise’s PG-13 Rock Of Ages and Adam Sandler’s R-rated That’s My Boy which both flopped last weekend. Remember that the studio bought the mash-up package for $69M with most elements attached like producer Tim Burton and director Timur Bekmambetov who used their own money to buy scripter Seth Grahame-Smith’s bestselling book. (Only Hollywood would defile the reputation of one of America’s greatest Presidents…) Fox’s only reticence was the first dollar gross request which initially was just north of 25%. The final deal was rich. But Fox, led by production president Emma Watts, thought it had a major tentpole teed up. That’s probaby no longer the case. Abe just keeps getting adjusted down.

superduperm Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Alright! I was hoping Brave would go up and Abe would go down and that's exactly what happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I actually enjoyed Battleship as I mentioned already it was very misadvertised. I didn't want to see it even.Promethus was good but not great. (Most people I noticed loved the first half but hated the 2nd. Although I noticed better reviews from those who didn't know it was a prequel to Alien) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
