The Official TASM Weekly Thread (6 Day EST-140m) (Warning: Whiten Out Spoilers/Spoiler Tags)

[kayumanggi]

And the meltdown continues. Do go on.

[doublejack]

Why are people thinking TASM will be frontloaded? With 7.5M TASM should gross over 30M for today.

Because there are a lot of fanboys for this franchise, and fanboy movies are generally very frontloaded.

I can't follow this thread. It just grows too fast.

Acting like an 8-year-old.

Look who is talking.

I think we know how this is going to play out. TASM is a boring movie in every way. It has no buzz and there is no excitement about it. The reviews are lukewarm (the positive aren't really positive and the negative aren't really negative). Therefore, this movie will take the most boring route possible. It will not fail spectacularly and it will not break out.This movie will probably end up coming in under my $300M prediction and make $250M. Why $250M? Because that would be the most boring number because then neither side can claim victory. There will be no epic meltdowns. Both sides will end up claiming victory anyway. It'll just be boring.

250-275m isn't a disaster, but when you factor in 3d, IMAX, inflation, and the recently reported 200m+ budget, well....

That's more probable than TASM grossing less than Prometheus WW. ;)Sorry but I couldn't resist.

Uh huh. Well, if Prometheus hadn't been such an awful film...

[kayumanggi]

The crazy is strong in this one

Your brain cells are failing you.

screen count was huge - over 3000 theaters.

7.5m is very good for a reboot and especially good for a Tuesday opening.

As someone in the MM over TASM OD club, I was predicting midnights of up to 5m for TASM. So it did better than I thought but not by a ton, making it a "meh" number. 10m+ would have been far more impressive.

For such a well known franchinse with (obvioulsy) a lot of fanboys, a number like 7.5m can't be spun any other way. The fans turned out, great. I think calls for a 35m+ OD are misguided though. It will definitely do more than MM's 20m. We'll see what the actual number turns out to be.

Avengers series has a lot of fanboys too and it made 18.7M Far from one of the highest grossing midnights

The profit will be made from the worldwide gross, not the domestic gross.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Oh shit everyone. Totally off topic. But isn't Darling Nikki the fucking best???? LMFAOOOOOOOOO:

She is a shameless bitch and I love it :rofl: :rofl:

Can't wait to see Variety Jeff Sneider's meltdown reaction to that.

[CJohn]

That's what SHE said.

Shame I don't have more likes

SH movies are never frontloaded.

[cozmeesah]

Look who is talking.

Umm ... okay. You just proved my point.

[kayumanggi]

He is serving crow to everyone except those that predicted $15-20m midnights. Which is silly since they are, in fact, off by a lot more.

I posted a picture of a crow. TO NO ONE. Look who reacted? Who is silly then? These "learned" people are hilarious. Edited July 3, 2012 by kayumanggi
