Friday & Early Wknd Estimates (9/21/12): END OF WATCH Solid, everything else soft...

[Jack Nevada]

GO PERKS! DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT DID, BUT I REALLY HOPE IT DID WELL!

Oh, so it opened this weekend? Didn't know that. When is it going wide?

[The Toymaker]

Too many people probably remember how awful the Stallone one was too.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Single digit for Dredd is totally expectable.Lets see if Looper can open to 20M or not next weekend.

[rahvinn87]

End of Watch looks good and Dredd looks awful. That might not be the case but thats how it looks.

That isn't the case, Dredd is brilliant. Don't know why you think it 'looks awful', I loved the trailer personally, and Karl Urban is a good actor, whats not to like?

[Rthmessiah]

a fleating visit from earlier post, say HAEOS around 4.6, EOw 4.5, TWTC 4, FN3d 2.4 ,D3D 2.2, RE5 2,Master 1.4

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Wow, terrible for DREDd.

[CJohn]

End of Watch is having an awesome result. RE5 is tanking, from what I have heard the movie opened here on Thursday and the WOM is toxic. All my friends that saw it so far hated it.

[CJohn]

Btw, I just saw the trailer for EoW. I now understand why is doing such a solid numbers.

[kayumanggi]

2 M for RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION? Wow. Must be really a bad film.

[Krissykins]

Dredd is officially tanking. That's not even a bomb, its a disaster. Won't clear $6m opening weekend? Don't fancy the film anyway, although I've heard good WOM. Too little too late.70% weekend drop for RE5. Deserved, film was nonsense.Decent for House at the End of The Street. Reviews are terrible though I'm happy to see horror on top. I use the term horror loosely.Solid for End of Watch, I knew it would do well.Trouble With The Curve looked boring from the start, and its doing boring numbers, go figure.

Any chance that Dredd could pick up some legs once the inevitable good WOM spreads?

[Bitcher]

Bombs like that don't get good legs because they're pulled from theaters quickly.Shame on you, Lionsgate for leaving it dead in the water and shame on the audience for totally ignoring the (apparent) quality. I mean, it seems like worse opening than Conan, for God's sake.My only hope is that End of Watch wins the weekend now.

[forg]

What do you mean? Here in the Philippines or at your cinema?

Here in the Philippines, you didn't notice it? Anyway, watched it a while ago and this is really a good movie, too bad it's flopping

[baumer]

Rth u cant come by and not tell usabout the Expendables lol

[kayumanggi]

DREDD's budget is 50 M. Sad.

I am not sure. It was bloody and gory. What were the cuts? It's R-16 here right?

The machine gun scene was insane!

Soft Friday Box Office: Clint Eastwood’s ‘Trouble With The Curve’ Disappoints; But ‘End Of Watch’ Strong Even If ‘House’ #1; Rebooted ‘Dredd’ Opens Just Dreadful

[baumer]

that's what I was afraid of. Expendables theater drop was too big now it is not in thet top 10. So it might only have a 100 percent increase. Oh well it's still should finish with a 3 multiplier.

No, because it won`t cross into mainstream. That`s the reason why it didn`t open in the first place. It`s a niche movie and fanbase obviously isn`t big. Similar thing happened with X Men FC. Great reviews, great WOM but no mainstream appeal hence the unremarkable hold and lowest gross of X Men franchise despite inflation. Though that one wasn`t a bomb. This, however, is. Too bad because reviews are great so it didn`t tank because it was a turkey. It bombed because it appeals to narrow audience. Edited September 22, 2012 by fishnets
