Weekend Estimates pg 14: EX2: 13.5(-52.5%) Bourne 9.5 (.44%), no opener in top 5

Recommended Posts



I hope that 5 mill holds for Ex2. That would really signify great wom.

Would it? It seems more likely that it would signify that this weeks openers had zero appeal.That said, I'm a little behind in my movie-watching. Haven't seen Expendables 2 yet, so I don't have a personal opinion on it. Yet. (Saw Bourne this week and Total Recall last week.)

Thanks. I've been absent for two weeks, you know with all the storms and my router breaking down. Here in the Philippines, it seems like we have a storm or storms every week. Just how lucky we are.

Ahh ok. Guessed it may have something to do with storms or you were just plain busy. Yeah I keep on seeing or reading about the barrage of storms. Heard the new one will bring some rain again. Hope things get better soon.

Posted ImageFRIDAY PM/SATURDAY AM, 2ND UPDATE: Because of Friday’s very weak box office, there won’t be any clarity behind the Top 10 film rankings until Saturday morning. As predicted Millenium/Lionsgate’s The Expendables 2 will finish in first place Friday and this weekend. It’s followed by Universal’s The Bourne Legacy in second place and the Rocky Mountain Pictures’ documentary 2016 Obama’s America in third place. That’s stunning because it’s playing in a 1/3 less theaters across North American than the other wide release actioners. (See below for more details). However, its hot pre-sales have made the pic frontloaded, and its ranking will fall steeply by end of Sunday.

This is turning into the weakest weekend of Summer 2012 especially for new movies (with the exception of the anti-Obama pic). Sony Pictures’ newcomer Premium Rush is a disappointment, while Open Road’s Hit And Run (which opened Wednesday) takes a bad fall, and Dark Castle/Warner Bros’ new release The Apparition didn’t stand a ghost of a chance as a parting present for producer Joel Silver. “It’s exhausting working with numbers this bad,” one studio exec griped tonight. No new pic will break $10M. Even total moviegoing for the weekend adds up to only $75M, or -13% from last year. Refined numbers coming.
