JarJarBinks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 A quick heads up that Open Road has yet to report the actual for Hit & Run. Will post it on the website once they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 TDKR should pass TS3 today and pass TLK/DMC early-ish next week. ET, couple weeks or so. Shrek 2, hopefully before it hits dollar theaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 So is Canada behind the big Tuesday increases. I think Alfred mentioned something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrek 2, hopefully before it hits dollar theaters. if it can pass Shrek 2(441 m) , then still has a chance for 450 m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Week to week drops look to be 50% or more for most films except the TDKR and Hope Springs. I guess this is the nature of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't think TE2 is doing more than $13 million this weekend after the brutal drop that it had yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 TDKR will need a huge boost this weekend if it wants 450M. Is a 70% increase even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well with that wednesday number I don't see any possible way TE2 drops less than 55% this weekend. It would need like a huge 90%+ Friday increase to drop less. Combined with the dismal tracking for the new releases, this ought to be one of the worst weekends of the year so far at the BO.

MovieMan89 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) The #1 movie this weekend could be as low as $11.5m or so. Think Like a Man was the lowest grossing #1 movie of the weekend of the year so far with $17m. Every other weekend this year has had at least 1 movie over $20m.

Slow times ahead (although I don't think Exp2 drops *that* low yet, maybe closer to $13m).It feels like no one cares about anything coming out for awhile. Starting to think that dead week in September might rival Bangkok Dangerous' opening weekend in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) ^Heres hoping for Dredd to be a breakout hit. From everything I've read about it it sounds like everything Expendables 2 should've been. Hard R-rated action that will satisfy gorehounds with a coherent story.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted August 23, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) What's H&R's budget?$1.3 million (before P&A), according to Bradley Cooper at least.As long as Open Road didn't go crazy on the marketing costs -- and they clearly didn't -- the film should still be able to make its money back even in a worst case scenario. But Gitesh is right, that theater count was at least 500 theaters too wide for this kind of movie during this time of year.
