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

Shia's douchiness ruined Lawless for me. Hope it fails. Sad that the only locked for 20M OW coming up is RE4.

Even if Shia is a douche, it has Hardy in a supposedly strong performance. That dude is a hell of an actor, so I root for his success whenever possible.

Nope. Comes out on Wednesday along with everyone's most anticipated movie:

From the Marketing visionary? More like from the guy couldnt get enough LSD

OH MY GAWD THAT IS SO CUTE!!!!

We are in for a very slow season... Unless The Possession breaks out, the next 2 weekends will also be bloody awful. Things may become better latter on September.

[The Dark Alfred]

I have faith in Lawless and Trouble With The Curve.

[CJohn]

The first weekend of September will be hilarious. The only wide release in the Words.

Could be a repeat of the same weekend 4 years ago: http://www.boxoffice...wknd=36&p=.htm Edited August 25, 2012 by xiayun

I wonder if The Words could "beat" Bangkok Dangerous. That would be pretty hilarious.

[Ariadne]

Terrible, boring, waste of space weekend.

Sources tell me #PremiumRush & #Obama will both do $2M+ today, $6M wknd. #Expendables2 still #1 w/ nearly $5M/$15M.

Ouch for JGL not being able to beat a documentary

[ecstasy]

So Bourne must be #2 again.

From the Marketing visionary? More like from the guy couldnt get enough LSD

And I thought "From the studio that brought you ______" sounded desperate

[kayumanggi]

That's a good number for THE EXPENDABLES ll if it sticks. Great drop.

[Gopher]

Very solid for TE2. Big 150% increase.

[Mango]

If Expendables 2 ends up close to $15 million that's really, really good and a way better drop than the first movie had. And does this mean Bourne and TDKR will stay in the top 3 leading into Labor Day? Sweet. (Though mainly good for TDKR's lasting abilities somewhat helped, pretty terrible weekend overall.)

If Expendables 2 does this 15,000,000 this weekend I'll back flips.

[baumer]

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

[MrPink]

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

I also hope it signifies great increases for other holdovers too (BATMAN! NA NA NA NA NA)

[rickfox]

sorry to cut in,but any number for TDKR yet?

[druv10]

TE2 with great number while openers flop.
