BD2 was mediocre and frustrating despite having a few entertaining scenes.

I think it's hugely overrated. I didn't like the ending.

Were people predicting a $40m lock? lulzPhenomenal performance though.

Skyfall is a monster. That is all.

NBCSportsPR @NBCSportsPR 9m Pats 49-19 blowout over Jets on NBC drew 11.5 overnight, up 92% from 2011 primetime Thanksgiving game on NFL Net. Peaked at 12.7 at 9pm So we might see bigger than normal increases today.

[Deep Wang]

First set update: Lincoln and SKYFALL sold out while Guardians did not.

[RichWS]

Awww, does this mean no Guardians 2 for Katzenberg to green-light? I'm sure he was planning on at least three sequels.

Falling way behind NM now. Need a good weekend or 300 is done.

You are right, but not to be blase about it, but at this point, it is locked to hit 280. It will probably end with 290 but it will also probably hit 800 WW. It really doesn't matter all that much if it hits 300 here.

I love Hemsworth, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. He is not a draw. Thor and Avengers' success had nothing to do with his presence, SWATH's success was more about the iconic fairytale and Theron than about either of its leads, Cabin in the Woods didn't set the box office on fire (and frankly, do you honestly think that what people remember from CITW and SWATH is Hemsworth?), and Red Dawn is a critically-reviled flop.

Red Dawn is doing more than people thought it would. I think it was supposedly tracking at 10 mill for the 3 day and it will more than likely come close to doubling that.

Investors were expecting a franchise too. Dreamworks stock has tanked the past 2 days. Down about 8%.

We'll see how it ends up. But if that price tag at BOM is accurate, and with those reviews, the film has no chance of becoming a hit. The problem I see with Hemsworth (as much as I love him) is that he seems very generic and run-of-the-mill. Yes, he is hot, and yes, he is charismatic, but I don't see him being distinctive enough to actually become a draw on his own, and not backed by iconic superhero properties or fairy tales.
