rockNrollaDIM Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 ZDT Can not wait for next weekend. Haven't seen a good movie since SLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 notfabio is saying TCM's thursday numbers were strong. So I am thinking its IM will be awful. That includes Thursday 10pm shows which were pretty strong probably the 2 to 3 mil diff {nm} notfabio on Jan 05, 08:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted January 5, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted January 5, 2013 This is purely speculative but I think they are actually handling SLP very well lol. If this was marketed with a huge NFL angle, you might get a lot of sports fans in seats on opening weekend but they may spread awful WOM since the film is not exactly a football movie. On the other hand, these people might be willing to see the movie after hearing good WOM from people not focused on the sports-angle and then, it being sports related might help push them over the fence: "hey, I hear this is a good flick, and it has to do with football" as opposed to "I just saw the new football movie which sucked because it was all about depression and personal relationships" If the film was marketed with the NFL as a huge component I think people would see through it–the trick can only last for so long. I think the way the "fat men" are playing it will ultimately result in a bigger gross. That kinda reminds me of Drive, which was sold as a racing movie and resulted in a lot of pissed of crowds on opening weekend. Fortunately, everyone one else was wiser and the film built a niche audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Ugh I'm so sick of Bigelow, I had hoped that ZDT would disappoint commercially but I guess that's not happening anymore. They better not give her best Picture/Director again after the bore-fest The Hurt Locker unfairly won 2009. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The more ZDT makes the better. 20 years after Point Break, it's about damn time Kathryn Bigelow directed another hit. Hurt Locker almost says HI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) House will win the weekend. Thing about ZDT is that it has already opened in many of the biggest markets so you are not going to see a huge opening weeekend. Around $20 million for ZDT and maybe $30 million for A Haunted House.

Chewy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Didn't THL come out in the summer? ZDT should do much better, with the Oscar hype timely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advertising that film as a "fighting movie" during WWF broadcasts... not sure that can be topped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Lincoln outgrossed The King's Speech! If it gets 12-13 noms next week what would be its final gross? The weird thing about Lincoln's box office run is that it's showing no signs of slowing down. Its Friday today was almost as big as its Friday three weeks ago. Now, if it becomes the frontrunner of the Oscar race... 200 could fall. But we'll see how it holds next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Like I expected: "Playing at 2,654 locations, Texas Chainsaw debuted to an estimated $10.2 million (including $1.15 million from 10 p.m. Thursday and midnight shows)."
