junkshop36 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 That's north of a 3X with Twilight coming in next weekend. Not going to happen.Yea, you're right, that might be a little to optimistic. The lowest I'm willing to go is 235m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 SM1 did things better than ASM, but ASM also did many things better than SM1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 7 6 Cloud Atlas WB $2,525,000 -53.1% I was hoping after last weekend's 44% drop that it could possibly have good legs and finish above 30m but now it looks like that's not going to happen Dammit America, give this movie a chance. Hopefully the rest of the OS markets will be like Russia and it will make like 270m OS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Mainly having two leads that absolutely blow Maguire/Dunst out of the water. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) I am really surprised with Taken 2 legs...its a movie which looks like majority of audience have hated it..still the legs have been pretty good somehow.Great opening for SkyfallThat's the thing, the whole "Audiences didn't like Taken 2" is a internet myth. Audiences liked it but they also admit it was a step down from part 1 but they still enjoyed it and will be right back for Taken 3.

I don't want to call American audiences dumb but I do think this movie went over a lot of people's heads and will find strong life on DVD and TV in the future. To me it was ahead of it's time and I'm sure people in the future will be asking why audiences slept on such an amazing film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a case of "OK this is good enough for now , but next time you better step up the game" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Raimi is a good director. I have enjoyed his films especially evil dead 1&2 spiderman 2 and drag me to hell. The only misstep he had that i recall is spiderman 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The only thing about locking Bodn for 900 mill is that there is a perfect storm opening next weekend....EVERYWHERE. BOND has had the WW market to itself for a few weeks now.....but BD2 is going to come storming in. Talk to me after next weekend.900m is locked, B. :)700m should be easy OS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 900m is locked, B. :)700m should be easy OS.It is incredible to read 700 OS are easy for a 2D movie, but it is true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the movie is good enough, lack of 3D ain't gonna stop it from 700m.I know it, but given only 2 movies have reached that number without 3D I like to remark it.

This is an exceptional event because this is an exceptional film.Without 3D, only 5 movies would have comfortably crossed 700m OS:TitanicROTKAvatarDH2AvengersAnd now Skyfall.An exceptional club indeed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupek Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 30m36m24m90m*2,7 = 243m this is more likely, but nowhere near 262m. Enough to surpass it in estimated attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 11, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 11, 2012 With such a huge portion of Skyfall's audience leaning male and over 25, I really don't see Twlight having a big effect on it next weekend. They can coexist with such widely different audiences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hey Shawn, how much do you expect for Skyfall's next weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If QoS (and also 2012, which opened the exact same weekend with mid-$60millions) could do 2.5x, I'd expect 2.7x at the very least from Skyfall. I'd say it's nearly guaranteed (meaning like a 99% chance) to outgross The Bourne Ultimatum, has a good chance to make it past 250 and an outside chance to crawl past TASM. I think 240-270 is the range, and if forced to make a closer prediction, I'd say 250-255.Also, I was no fan of TASM, but to me it still blew SM and SM3 right out of the water. SM2, on the other hand, remained untouchable... for the time being. Just my two cents. I also enjoyed Garfield and Stone in their roles much more than Maguire and Dunst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
