More from Nikki the math wiz."And even The Bourne Legacy‘s $542K from midnight showings was less than half of The Bourne Ultimatum‘s $797K midnights."

Legend of the Nikki grows some more.

Wanting? Are you sure you watched the movie? They did much more then "wanting."

Are you actually trying to argue with me that anyone under 40 will relate to an entire movie that's about two 60 somethings trying to figure out how they can have sex or even touch each other after years of no intimacy in their marriage? That's hilarious if you are!

[JackO]

But they already had over 1.5 million followers BEFORE the new Bourne movie, that's my point, it's "likes" throughout the years for ALL bourne movies including the new one. So Sparkle's total is impressive compared to ALL the 4 movie Bourne FRANCHISE.

It is 25% of Bourne.. Not impressive at all. Set your sights lower.

No, if you knew how to read, I was calling you out for basing your opinion and not having watched the movie.

Sparkle is not in competition with Bourne. It has a 17 million budget compared to what 100 million budget or so? And they have totally different audiences. I compared Sparkle to Hope Springs and how most of you including boxoffice.com will end up making a huge mistake with your predictions. The point is, don't use the "likes" of Bourne when comparing to Sparkle because those "likes" for Bourne include an accumulation from all prior Bourne movies and years of existence. Sparkle's total is just recent for this movie alone. I expect Sparkle to do at least 30+ million opening weekend, which would bring it close to most of people's predicted TOTAL for it.

Yeah, next week will actually be huge with Expendables 2, Sparkle and Paranorman. It's gonna be a huge exciting weekend. After that, it's gonna be very quiet. Edited August 11, 2012 by wboxoffice

Holy loaded insult Batman! Nice way to throw off any kind of logical discussion there. I clearly stated I saw the movie and was merely saying that the younger audience won't relate. So why are you suddenly flinging insults and what exactly are you calling me out on?

[Hiccup]

If Bourne holds that 18M and The Campaign holds that 10M this is how the weekend could play out.BourneFriday- 18MSaturday- 17.1MSunday- 13.0MTotal- 48.1MThe CampaignFriday- 10MSaturday- 9.7MSunday- 7.7MTotal- 27.4M

No problem, I always miss my milestones and I thought you were probably going to post again and ruin the four 4's before you noticed.

Yeah I wouldn't have noticed. I probably will from now on though like when I hit 5555. I wonder what my 666 post was.

I must have clicked my bookmark for it at least 50 times in the last 2 days hoping for it to come back again. I guess I'm addicted to this place.

Oh yeah. Missed having the forums on my phone. And now that this crazy Friday work is done. Sitting in one of my favorite sushi bars with a big glass of beer and catching up!

And again great news for Bourne! Was hoping this would have a good OW. Hoping now for some good legs
