Ezen Baklattan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm not so certain about 20m. I'm guessing that It'll have a high midnight share and a noticeable drop on Saturday. Mid-to-high teens seems more likely, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 If AL:VH can hit a 20m OW then I am sure Spielberg's Lincoln can hit 30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Very surprising and good for Vampire Hunter. I'm glad Fox has another hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Very surprising and good for Vampire Hunter. I'm glad Fox has another hit.Budget was a reported $69 million, I wouldn't call it a hit quite yet. I'm glad it's exceeding expectations (and meeting mine) though. Hopefully it can hold up well.

Moviedweeb Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I still don't see Abe hitting $20m and there is definitely front-loading for this kind of film. I think it will be lucky to hit $17m for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitcher Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 What makes you think it will be frontloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin121 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 What makes you think it will be frontloaded?Rated R, genre, not amazing midnights, fans of the book wanting to see it right away, the ridiculousness of it all.I'm thinking Fri 7-8, Sat 6-7, Sun 3-4 would be a great result for it.

Bitcher Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 R rating doesn't make a movie frontloaded by itself and the book doesn't really strike as one with significant fan following that would rush to see it on OD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rated R, genre, not amazing midnights, fans of the book wanting to see it right away, the ridiculousness of it all.I'm thinking Fri 7-8, Sat 6-7, Sun 3-4 would be a great result for it.Yup, that's about the size of it. This movie has "fanboy" (for lack of a better term) written all over it which usually implies front-loading. The movie also looks really bad (judging by the trailers) so WOM can't be too good unless they pulled of a miracle (judging by the level of advertising this does not seem to be the case).

Taylor Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Wouldn't not very big midnights be a sign of it not being frontloaded? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Wouldn't not very big midnights be a sign of it not being frontloaded? Maybe $700k MID is huge for Abe though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) $700k midnight means that it is ABSOLUTELY front loaded. That is huge for this and the best news ABVH will have all weekend. I can't imagine the film being good so I think it is all downhill after today. We'll see... Edited June 22, 2012 by Clavius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Watch Abe open to the 9M i had it for the entire weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Maybe $700k MID is huge for Abe though? True, I was mostly just responding to Justin's post. Cowboys & Aliens had the same midnight number and that managed $36 million. This obviously won't come close to that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
