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

[Heretic]

I've only read a few pages, but I've come to the conclusion this is the best thread on this forum, and should go down in the BO hall of fame.

27m Tuesday THR

LOL Savages and Katy Perry are higher than TASM on RT

27m Tuesday THR

That's it? I thought 30M was locked?

[kayumanggi]

This thread is boring. Only 7.5 M? No record.

[Deep Wang]

Again with this "OH MY GOD WHAT DOES ROTTEN TOMATOES THINK?!" attitude.

To me RT is a way to see exactly how many people liked it. That is all. If you asked 3 out of 4 friends what they thought about a movie and 3 liked it and one hated it, that is 75%. Same thing just larger pool of data.

The higher the score doesn't mean it is objectively better, it just means more people like it. I don't avoid anything unless it is really, really low. But I will do everything I can to see something that scores 95% or more.

Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man is off to a strong start at the domestic box office, where its expected to gross upwards of $27 million on Tuesday as the long July 4th holiday gets underway.

Bullish box office obsevers believe the reboot -- starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone -- could even earn in the low-$30 million range for the day based on early returns.

Wasn't 20 M the number you were expecting?

This thread is a complete catastrophe. To nobody's surprise the escaped asylum inmates proclaim this number to be the second coming of Christ when it's a boring and inconclusive result.

[Walt Disney]

This place has officially jumped the shark. Congrats.

To be fair, once some loonies started arguing that Sony didn't lie about SM3's midnight numbers, this thread was lost.

This, plus looking at the average score shows you how much they liked it (roughly). Spidey's 6.8 is almost more damning than it's 73 percent fresh. It's basically most people saying "yeah, it's kind of okay, I guess."

"expected"lolhere comes the "we post it first despite it's a guess" game.Come on Nikki!

[CJohn]

Lows 30M would be great!

[ecstasy]

27m + (upwards) Includes 7.5 midnights.

[Caboose]

Seems strange that it would miss 30M on tuesday. Only 27M would be really mediocre.

Everyone played a part. The GIF-a-thon didn't help keep things on track.
