lab276 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Worst weekend since 2001 ...Unless they're overestimating everything, it should make it over the weekend in 2003. So, not quite that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted September 9, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted September 9, 2012 Won't be surprised if Sunday numbers are being over-estimated, personally. I'm really anxious to see if next weekend gives us the boost we're hoping for or if interest in going to the movies is really that flat right now.

There are a lot of big reasons for both Resident Evil 5 and Nemo 3D fail to meet expectations. One is another sequel in a tired franchise, I am thinking on Final Destination 5 all over again, and Nemo 3D probably will be more like Beauty and the Beast and less like Lion King.

Moviedweeb Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Who's up for some shooting random Zombies next weekend? I am!Anyway, at this point I just want TDKR to pass Shrek 2. After that, no point in grossing more it's not catching up to star wars.Agreed. Even if TDKR somehow passed Star Wars, the 3D rerelease would knock TDKR back down to #7. Star Wars will join TDK as the only films to finish in the $500m range. Edited September 9, 2012 by Clavius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Expendables 2 has a shot at achieving a 3x multiplier..... which would be better than the first one!Has it ever happened before that a first sequel gets better multiplier than the original?

I think Nemo will do better than Beauty and closer to Lion King, but really, its a total wild card.Expendables 2 has a shot at achieving a 3x multiplier..... which would be better than the first one!Has it ever happened before that a first sequel gets better multiplier than the original?That's a really good question. I honestly can't think of one off the top of my head (besides Wednesday openers obviously), although surely there has to be one or two out there... hmm.

forg Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Finding Nemo 3D won't likely get to Lion King 3D's number, that was such a big surprise and I don't think it will happen again this year. I think Nemo 3D will be in the range of Titanic 3D which ain't bad Edited September 10, 2012 by forg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
