Weekend Numbers: Oblvi: 38.1 42: 18 mill (starting pg 10)

This is bigger on scale than all of those movies plus it looks really spectacular.

So? What does that mean? Bigger scale movies don't appeal to everyone. There are a lot of bigger scale films that don't open to more than 40 mill.

[The Dark Alfred]

Croods nearly 100% up, 42 53% up, Pines 54%.

Fantastic!!

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Great for CROODS. Amazing legs everywhere.

[baumer]

So 42 could drop by about 35-37%.

That would be a 7.956m Saturday for 42. That should get it a little over 18m for the weekend.

[baumer]

Yep, Guru said the same thing numbers. 34% drop for an 18 mill second weekend.

[baumer]

Lords of Salem, Rob Zombie's latest, did 622K.

[baumer]

38 mill for Oblivion according to ERC and 4.7 for Pines.

Seems a bit optimistic.

Seems a bit optimistic.

Saturday was probably bigger than Alfred thought it was.

If the Cinemascore proves to be any indication, Oblivion won't survive the upcoming sci-fi onslaught. I think it could crack 100m and that's pretty much it.

$100m is fine, I guess. I think you should watch Oblivion instead of 42 (even though the latter seems to be the better film). But those visuals and score in IMAX? UF.

Word-of-mouth could suffer on "Oblivion," since the CinemaScore was B-. Uni exec says that's from Friday, when there was a "diverson."

[RichWS]

[Jack Nevada]

OMG, so he`s implying that low score was anti-planted? :rofl: What studios won`t do to justify so-so openings for their ridiculously overpaid movies.

Too much sci-fi concepts for the Kim Kardashian generation.

Just wanna say that G.I. JOE: RETALIATION has made 33 M in China in 7 days.
