redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You misread what I wrote entirely, then. I didn't say "the entire board," I said the "haters and various nattering nabobs." What part of what I said implies "entire?" What is the point of even bringing up a few idiots out of hundreds on the board? Just ignore them.

Orestes Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm still wondering how the competition will effect all movies this summer. It's just way too crowded for normal summer legs. I think we shall see, regardless of WOM, a lot of films under a 2.5 multiplier and many near 2, if not under a 2. That's a distinct possibility, especially with some of the films later in the month. At least IM3 has an extra weekend to breath, more or less. Not that I think Gatsby will bomb or flop or even fizzle, but I see it as more counter programming as opposed to direct competition for IM3. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Scottb Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Yeah this May is way crowded and I wouldn't be surprised if some movies box office were hurt by all this competition. Edited May 3, 2013 by scottb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I predict a 150M - 200M opening with a 300M - 500M total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And twitter is consistently strong, I think a 50m opening is possible for it and I think IM3 no longer has a week to breathe as I thought back in the spring.

kitik Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think we all got it wrong Ed. I just checked, and a bunch of people actually did put down "yes" for that question. I stopped counting after 6 people, but there were more than that. For the record, I put "no", but she clearly said it, so the "yes" voters should win.

We're supposed to be precise and accurate with our number predictions. "Not a record" is not the same phrase as "not record-breaking". Yes, it's the same gist, but my understanding was the question was about that specific phrase, since it's so historic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
