It ain't hitting $48M based on audience reactions. No way. Fully expect Hulk size drop next weekend.

I aways thought the most vocal are usually usually people who hate the movie to begin with. Only way to drown them out is if a lot of people really love the movie. With WOM being so mixed, then the most negative should stand out.

This is sounding like Prometheus again. I just want the legs to be better!

I know, she's both a megastar and a producer ;)

Whitney hadn't had a hit single in a decade at the time of her death and the album only approached a million in the US because of the manufactured hype of it being her first album in 7 years, and *two* full Oprah episodes. Her last tour did nothing notable either.

Million Dollar Bill was top 5 in the UK. When did Madonna have a big hit in the USA last? Was it the song when she used Justin Timberlake as her duet partner in order to get airplay? Whitney doesn't care about "hits" and selling out. She titled her last album after a gospel song "I Look to You", and in this upcoming Sparkle movie she plays a gospel singer, and in her last movie Preacher's Wife she played again a gospel singer. She's hardly concerned about being relevant, but rather about doing what she loves. The point is, she sells based on her name. If she was trying to be "relevant", she would not being making these choices. Whatever Whitney did, she kept her music mature and age appropriate unlike females like Mariah or Madonna who try to compete with 16 yrs old. Whitney Houston is like Barbra Streisand, a true superstar who does mature work. As for her last tour, her voice was bad, but she still sang Live all the way, unlike her rivals who lipsynch most of their shows. And her tour was sold out in Europe, Australia, Russia, etc. She simply didn't tour in the usa (because of voice problems), which made her overall tour numbers smaller, but it was successful she got people in the seats and was sold out wherever she went. Anyway, it's sad that Whitney is still underrated to this day, but maybe after Sparkle debuts next week some of you will finally get what real star power is all about. And I don't care about the "death factor" cause everyone knows she's dead and are still predicting 30-40 million totals with a 10-15 million weekend. In fact most Whitney fans agree that if she were alive and promoting this movie, it would probably be even more successful. And finally? Who gets 2 full shows on Oprah? Only Whitney. That's your answer right there on what a legend she is. I'm just tired of having to defend her huge accomplishements, I don't know what some of you want her to do in order to give her respect. She did it all. Selling 1 million copies in the USA in recent years is not a joke, Madonna's MDNA hasn't reached 500k in the USA and 175k out of those sales were cds included free with concert tickets. So please, nobody is selling more than this except Adele who's at her peak. But Whitney at her peak already proved that she was the best.And I want to add that Whitney being relevant can be seen every year on shows like American Idol and X Factor as she is the most covered singer of all-time on both shows. Now that's "relevance" and she will continue to be relevant as every current artist or aspiring talent names her as their idol. She's the best and people will celebrate her again with Sparkle.

If Whitney wasn't in Sparkle nobody would even be checking for it. Period. Come on people.Anyway, this board is dead, dead, dead. I guess everybody is waiting on TDKR number.

Thank you. You know, I don't want to turn anyone into a Whitney fan, she has plenty of them already. But it's annoying watching a true superstar who's movies have averaged 147 million as an actress (adjusted) and 137 million as a producer (adjusted) being put down and being underrated on this board. If you guys are really fans of "box office" you should be excited and wanting to see Whitney succeed with a project that has 100 times more class than Expendables 2 or some other movies which are focused on killing as many people as possible in the most violent way possible. You guys always talk about how box office is struggling, so why not want Sparkle to do well? It's almost as if some of you are rooting against her or trying to find every way possible to put her down. But hey, I guess the bigger superstar you are, the more haters you will get. She's done it all already, her new project Sparkle as an actress/producer/singer will be just icing on the cake. Edited by wboxoffice
