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

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

 

I`m a Kim Kardashian generation and I`m proud that my generation didn`t buy into Kosinski`s polished turd AGAIN!

[Jack Nevada]

Maybe the movie just wasn't that good or memorable, causing the B-? Just a thought. 

[RichWS]

I thought adult males were driving this film. How's that the Kardashian generation?

Sci Fi movies tend to get Lower Cinemascores. Minority Report and Inception got B+ Cinemascores. Looper got a B-. Cloud Atlas got a C+

he just outted males as avid Kardashian followers.

Looper got a B- because it had a stupid twist too and,worse, was sold in trailers as something that it really wasn`t. Also, because GA, unlike movie buffs, has absolutely no investment in Rian Johnson cause they don`t know who the fuck he is. The whole Looper Internet hyped stemmed from desire to make this guy happen.

Tom Cruise's sci-fi pic Oblivion opened to $38.2 million at the domestic box office to come in No. 1 after a better-than-expected performance and despite a B- CinemaScore. Overseas, the Universal pic continued to please, grossing $33.7 million in its second weekend for an international cume of $112 million and worldwide total of $150.2 million.

Some people are laughable.

I thought it stemmed from being a cool time-travel movie.

Is 200 M overseas still possible? Does OBLIVION still have markets to open?

[RichWS]

I'm mildly surprised Oblivion cracked 35. That's a solid opening. It's making enough overseas that 100M domestically should be good enough.

Japan and China

[Jack Nevada]

I love Looper, but I can understand the B-. It is kind of a arthouse blockbuster, really. It tried to do things in a different way

[RichWS]

Too much attention is paid to Cinemascores.

what are you talking about. 200M os is always a lock.

Yep.

 

Fantastic hold for The Croods and great also for 42.

 

Olympus will do 100m.

So how delicious of a drop did Scary Movie 5 have?

[The Futurist]

So how delicious of a drop did Scary Movie 5 have?

 

-55.5

 

Not enough IMO.

 

The Host is an abysmal flop, won't even reach 30m.

Tom Cruise can open a movie. Decent start for Oblivion. It's one of the best sci-fi movies I have seen recently, WoM would be good enough for legs. Looper got B- because of the twists. Same goes for Oblivion. However people who like the film will watch it again.
