Weekend Estimates (8/3-5/12): TDKR @ #1 w/ $10.4m Fri/35.5 wknd, TR: $9.2m/24.5 (Boxoffice.com est.)

[CJohn]

Yeah which is my point, if nobody was seriously predicting less than 20m how the heck is $9.5-$12.5M today and $26M-$32M for the weekend impressive at all?

It is simple. It isn't.

[ZattMurdock]

It seems like the audience reaction to TR isn't that great: one day out and it has 6.3 on IMDB

I can't be bothered by this film, but I wonder which fandom is responsible for that.

Or maybe its just not a very good film?

[MovieMan89]

Yeah, you are not a fanboy yet you are the only one in here defending it's shitty early numbers. I guess Colin Ferrell lied when he said the budget was 160M then, huh? :rofl:I find some people's lack of conviction disturbing.

Actually I'm not the only one here saying it exceeded this board's expectations (but not my own), but I notice you're the only one throwing a tantrum over the fact that it's gonna outgross your predictions by about 3x as much. Thou doth protest too much. :PAnd how the hell does an actor know a movie's budget over the studio figure? Since when do actors report on budgets anyways? Really though I couldn't care less about TR, but it obviously means something to you so continue freaking out over it shattering your "bomb of the ages" predictions. It's very entertaining.

Nolanites!No seriously, it's a remake to a 1990 film that's held in high esteem by the geek community, that's probably why it's been disparaged. Nobody really wanted a remake, so they're gonna trash it even if a great many of them haven't seen it. Edited August 3, 2012 by MrPink

That's terrible.

[iceroll]

Yes it was. Then Farrell said in a interview that the movie costed 160M. A few days ago the LA Times reported a 125M budget.

Never stood a chance with a decent rating on IMDB. Too much Arnold outrage, lol.

[MovieMan89]

That's terrible.

Lol, you're more obsessed with this than fish and shriekapoo aren't you? What an entirely forgettable and altogether odd movie to devote so much energy too.

And that's exactly what happened on IMDB. Since it was announced it was hated and the Arnold fans let it be known.

If The Dark Knight Rises grosses less than $30M this weekend...Riot.But seriously...wtf!?

Let me type this slowly for you since you can't seem to grasp the concept that. was. not. an. actual. prediction. The only one throwing a tantrum here is you since you can't grasp the fact that 26-32 is simply terrible for a film of this budget.

Baumer said it would gross in the high 30's............

[MrPink]

Yep. So deserved. I mean, are any of these quotes going to be in the movie?'See you at the party, Richter!''C'mon Cohaagen, you got what you want...give deez people air!''HAHAHA, you think this is the real Quaid? It is.''Hey Benny....SCREEEEEEEW YOOOOOOOOU''What have you been feeding this thing? Blondes.''Consider that a divorce!'None of these in the remake? 6.3/10 at best.

[JackO]

I wonder what the early numbers threads for John Carter looked like. Poor fanboys beating their chest over a number and forgetting how much their film costs.

[Jack Nevada]

Wikipedia still says the budget is 200M. Golly gee, who should we believe?

[druv10]

It's not going to. Even with 9M, TDKR should hit around 30M. Early numbers are rarely spot on. I'll wait for Rth to confirm this.

Colin Farrell. 160M seems right.

Gah, I dont know why, but I just want to see TR burn. I had the same thing with TASM and it actually did pretty well.
