baumer Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I loved the first one and I think I was expecting a bit too much in this one. So yes, I was disappointed in it. Still enough to give it a 7, but I gave the first one a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still enough to give it a 7, but I gave the first one a 9.Well that's how I feel about Bourne Legacy. I had my expectations set way too high until I saw reviews and I was still disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well August has been a month of disappointments for whatever reasons. Total Recall, Bourne Legacy, Expendables.Box office wise I don't think Bourne was a disappointment. Maybe I didn't have high hopes for it, but imo it landed right where i thought it should have.

filmnerdjamie Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Comingsoon.net weekend predictions: 1. The Expendables 2 (Lionsgate) - $13.7 million -52% 2. ParaNorman (Focus Features) - $9 million -36% 3. The Bourne Legacy (Universal) - $8.9 million -48% 4. The Campaign (Warner Bros.) - $7.6 million -42% 5. Premium Rush (Sony) - $7.2 million N/A 6. Hit and Run (Open Road Entertainment) - $7.0 million N/A 7. The Odd Life of Timothy Green (Disney) - $6.8 million -37% 8. The Dark Knight Rises (Warner Bros.) - $6.4 million -42% 9. Sparkle (Sony/TriStar Pictures) - $6.4 million -45% 10. Hope Springs (Sony) - $5.9 million -35% -- The Apparition (Warner Bros.) - $3 million N/A I also think TDKR will do 6.4M but there's always hope for 7M. I also see EXP 2 doing 14M. The newbies I don't disagree with. But they're low-balling everything else. I'd say crank everything up by $1M. Expendables 2 should do $15-$16M based on the lack of competition and solid A- CinemaScore and Dark Knight Rises will do $7-$8M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I didn't have high hopes for it, but imo it landed right where i thought it should have.Sure. But I think the studio at least would like to match its production budget. The last 3 films doubled it. Doesn't look like that will happen. Edited August 22, 2012 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anasazi Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 TBL is doing alright, don't think the studio will be disappointed with its numbers, considering it's headed by a new character and an actor that's just gaining general populace recognition. I read somewhere that they were looking to benchmark the movie with The Bourne Identity and not expecting Supremacy or Ultimatum numbers. I suppose that's because just like Identity was the first of the Jason Bourne movies, Legacy is (likely) the first of the Aaron Cross movies. Add to that the fact that reviews have been less than stellar and I think it's having a reasonable run all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I too think thr studio will be happy with Bournes #. Like star trek its launching a diferrent world and its heading ing north of 100 so thats decent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
