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

[kayumanggi]

Keep on derping. Hey. Hey! I'll let you in on a little secret. This movie is not a person. Your white knighting is getting you nowhere. You're just gonna keep getting ridiculed by people with some actual common sense.

Now what? YOU COULDN'T FIND a single thing? Who has no common sense here?Come on, don't give up. Find a single post.You are that weak? Don't give up.

[CJohn]

As does iJack. I imagine a shaking, skinny figure on the computer surrounded by empty Red Bull cans, typing away with long, bony fingers.

[Magic]

If DMC managed 420M off 7.5M at midnight then maybe TASM could do it. :blink:iJack might be right about 400M+ after all.

[kayumanggi]

The guy needs to get some sleep.

What made you think I need it?

[ZattMurdock]

You predicted $20 million for midnight. If you were "right", what does that make the rest of us that were closer?

Have ever ocurred you that I might be wrong about the midnight but right about the rest of the week? Or let me get bolder, right even about the opening day? Do you know for sure that I'm not right, buddy?

[CJohn]

http://boxofficemojo...?id=3478&p=.htmReading comprehension obviously has nothing to do with it.

There is nothing identical in those numbers. Identical is something separated by 1M, tops.

[Magic]

"Sony is also reporting that the figure is identical to Spider-Man 3's midnight haul from the first weekend of May 2007."

Reading comprehension obviously has nothing to do with it.

Yep. We got them. They lied.

Sony's Puerto Rico.

:lol:

Has it occurred to you that you avoided answering my question directly?

[kayumanggi]

That's not an assumption......

Answer my question. When did I defend him?

[ZattMurdock]

Here is iJack stating he thinks the high end is 550M:

Can you please give me links for all of that? I truly want to have this for future reference.

[lab276]

'12!

"ASM is fantastic. Biggest shock of the year. He's (Lizard) decent. Garfield/Stone have electrifying chemistry. They're both written so well. Second favorite SH movie behind only TDK".

Interesting. I thought he'd mention Garfield/Stone chemistry, which is probably why he liked it so much.

[Jay Beezy]

I'm gonna post this again because things are getting overlooked now. For those who asked where iJack said his high end prediction was 550M, here it is:

Some people are baking that The Amazing Spider-Man will be a reboot flop just like the only single reboot that hasn't worked so far, The Incredible Hulk. They are ignoring that Spider-Man is motherfucking Spider-Man, opening in July 3rd, one of the best dates to open a blockbuster movie in the summer, that it's a movie made for 3D, not only converted and the talented involved just has more appeal with the audience than Edward Norton, Liv Tyler and yes, I'll go there, more even than Christian Bale. Today, not the cult stranger from seven years ago.

People are playing just with two scenarios for Spider-Man: a flop or a mild success, surpassing Batman Begins by a little margin as the most successful reboot and just.. there. What they seem to forget is that The Amazing Spider-Man how much things have changed since Nolan rebooted Batman. The general audience interest on superhero movies is on an all time high, the trailers got people talking and most of all, generated buzz. Buzz for a movie with two very popular newcomer actors featuring on a movie that can be considered at least as much as popular as Batman. Yes, this will only make more grossing at the box office if TDKR is a failure of a Batman & Robin & Taylor Kitsch proportions at the DOM box office, but that doesn't take from Spider-Man how much of a popular character he is.

Do you want to laugh more at me? $400m isn't the high end for me when it comes to what this movie can make domestically. $550m is. The conditions for a reboot right now are just better than the ones that Nolan inherited back in 2005, and do you wanna know what's funny?

The general audience won't be surprised when The Amazing Spider-Man becomes an astounding success. They link Spider-Man with a huge success, and for them this will be something that they could expect. But it won't be for the most of you. My scenario is that this will become the first reboot to break $400m, going further than any other. And do you know what's more funny than the general audience thinking this is expected, going for this film like crazy? Some of you'll eat crow and accept defeat, others will curse this movie and hope to the box office to fail just like you're doing for TA. And it'll be an waste of energy. A waste that I'll be here to watch. Again.

I posted this on the weekend estimatives thread, reposting here for future reference.

[JackO]

I mean he's right about the movie generally speaking, it's way better than haters expected.About his numbers he can't be right, $400m DOM won't happen, but my number $310m is clearly possible

It is exactly what I expected.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Sony lied; freedom died.

[tonytr87]

That makes no sense. Why would any theater sell a ticket for 5$ unless they are a discount theater already? Who posted it? And what theater was it at? I'm going to call them and ask them what their normal prices are.

The evening ticket price at one of the Cinemark theaters where I live is $5.50. Not a discount theater. It might be one of only a handful in the country that shows new movies for that price though.

[doublejack]

No, he said 20 milion $ midnights

I think all of the walk ups he was expecting got the munchies on the way and stopped at Taco Bell instead.

[Dementeleus]

iJack's predictions:

RT in the high-80s/low-90s WRONG

$20m midnights WRONG

$50m OD WRONG

The goalposts haven't just been moved, they've been taken down, loaded onto a truck, driven out of the state, and set up in an abandoned cow pasture.

[ZattMurdock]

Has it occurred to you that you avoided answering my question directly?

I think you're celebrating too soon. I also think that $42.5m from a first opening day for Spider-Man isn't so far fetched. We'll see. But hey, enjoy while you can.

[Caboose]

Now what? YOU COULDN'T FIND a single thing? Who has no common sense here?Come on, don't give up. Find a single post.You are that weak? Don't give up.

You are insane. Truly INSANE. You give iJAck a run for his money. I'm not gonna go through your whole post history because I don't care enough about it. Unlike you, I don't think TASM is SERIUZ BIZNESS. You're on ignore now. Go on, now's your chance to call me a moron, or a slut, or whatever other insults you've thrown at people. Go nuts. Oh wait...
