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

[JackO]

Meh. People talking about epic meltdowns in this thread. I haven't seen one yet. I guess I'm just used to Baumer's and Noctis and some others over at mojo. This thread is mild.

Kayamuggi had one earlier in the morning.

From that Sony's report, Iron Man 2 was the only one that made 7.5M at midnights.

[Moviefanatic]

Yup. This is the most epic fail for spin I have ever seen from a studio. If Sony admits that they don't know how to count money...then I will take it back.

[mattmav45]

The Spider Spinocide, IMO.LMAO @ Sony.

Read the post above and THINK. I know that among the not so enthusiastic over TASM you are one of people that can think here. It was never said on the Deadline article that it came from the midnights, it could have come from advance sneak ups before midnight. I'm just giving Sony the benefit of the doubt here, something that people would do for other studios, but people are just a little trigger happy against both Sony and The Amazing Spider-Man here.

Jack, my thinking is just fine here. Comparing its midnight number with SM3 and Pirates 2 is a spin job, plain and simple.

It's because they are Mr. Exaggeration!Trust me, the 7.5 M number is higher than what they were expecting. Lol.These people didn't even make predictions. All they did was hate on this.Have they seen the film? NOT YET.

OFF TOPIC:

Found the perfect .gif for last Friday's Magic Mike dick jokes mania thread, regretfully I missed the opportunity then but just for the hell of it:

But actually, this could probably apply to a few people right about now

I NEED LIKES!!!

I'm just seeing people that are pro Spidey happy and excited with the number without overexaggerating, while "the haters" are having meltdowns while they are allowed to. Which I find amusing.

Those are reported. By Sony. By the trades. There isn't anything mysterious or rumored about any of this. They also conveniently posted the wrong data for the PIRATES comparison.

I'm... just shaking my head here. You're in serious loony-land.

I was here. Was pretty mild comparatively speaking.

Who is Kayamuggi?

[kayumanggi]

Check again friend. I took over 5 mill.

But not 7.5 M, right?

The number is fine. It's good. It's solid.What's absurd is the revisionist history on SM3.

[CJohn]

What is next? TASM opens with 30M and they say it is up there with SM3, TDK and The Avengers? Oh Sony...

[Chewy]

The thing about this spin is that it doesn't make any sense. Would Sony really have come off worse if they just said that it matched Iron Man 2's midnight number, without mentioning the two others it clearly did not match?

[cremino]

If we would live in a perfect world, everyone would just stop responding and paying attention to iJack's ramblings

Jack Nevada is the Jack who counts

[CJohn]

The number is fine. It's good. It's solid.What's absurd is the revisionist history on SM3.

They are changing their own story...

[yads]

I had a feeling today would be FULL of excrement on here.

Fixed.

Who is Kayamuggi?

baumer's true identity.

[kayumanggi]

Assumptions GALORE!
