Heretic Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm expecting the reason you've been absent, Shayhiri, is because you've been watching IM3 at least 3 times a day, and are now at a total of around 45 viewings? Correct? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatebiu Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Since I'm no way in hell reading 150+ pages, especially for a superhero movie, will anyone summarize for me just how much IM3 flopped? I'm saying FLOPPED, cause this Friday number is obviously not getting it over 150m OW. Thanks.

Biggestgeekever Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The one advantage I'm giving IM3 is that there's no major kiddie animated franchise opening during it's run. IM2 faced Shrek (a weakened Shrek, but a well-received Shrek nonetheless). IM3 has Epic...one week later than Shrek. At this point, the family market is Trek's to lose. And if it does, it'll lose badly. Great point there. Do you expect Trek to be able to attract families though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The insane competition is more about its competitors between themselves than IM3 against them since it will have reached or nearly reach $300 millions domestic by the time STID comes into the picture (whatever its own reception) and will probably hit 1 billion ww, soon after, before FF6 is released.And it's even worst for its competitors abroad, since FF6, HGIII , AE, STID (for non English speakon markets) and MOS, are all released nearly at the same time unlike IM3 that has 4 weeks abroad with no competition bar STID in the UK and Australia next week.Whether you like it or not TGG is competition for IM3 and if it reaches 300m in 2 weeks (which I doubt) the legs will be slashed afterwards, because star trek will take its IMAX and all 3 movies will need 3,000+ theaters. That's gotta come from somewhere and IM3 will be a casualty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 It'll still open to over 100MFixed. Now that IM3 is gone ST has 2 weeks to build up buzz and the GA will now turn their attention to that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it does Also The way Happy looks in the flashback, with the long hair and the earring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayhiri Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) What the Absolute Fuck??? Ah! He's alive and well (I presume). Good. But tell me, BKB, how does that number disappoints ME, but not YOU?? I thought we ALL agreed that anything beneath 150m (especially for a 4 day CHEATING weekend!!!) is downright sloppy.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 4, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 4, 2013 Great point there. Do you expect Trek to be able to attract families though? The last one did. Given the competition, it can't just get by this time--families (and especially parents/adults) are going to have to really like the movie. I don't see kids flocking to it by default. Then again, Iron Man has never been in too much of a different situation. It's demographic breakdowns always leaned more adult than most comic book movies in 2008 and 2010 (thanks to Downey, methinks). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Technically, Rentrak would be the one to send the sacrifice to since that's where Rth works. That's one of a few companies that theaters report live box office data to. Let's hope they don't find out his identity...Has he stated he works for Rentrak!?

I think I got more of the jokes than my crowd did, so it felt a little awkward. Favorite moment: "Seriously, I don't even wanna work for them. They are so weird!" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 If you're basing it an opening of $60m or less...yep, probably. That's what I like about a club like this, you can get the OW and total gross completely wrong, but still be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) In both my showings, the crowd was in hysterics throughout. Mandarin being a British cockney probably helped. Edited May 4, 2013 by Heretic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta come from somewhere and IM3 will be a casualty. I don't think TGG is a real compertition like STID is. Sure it will take some of its audience but a vast majority of IM3,, like kids won't. And i am sorry, if this movie indeed opened at 160 millions, it will at least reach 280 millions by next sunday . Add 20 millions for the next week before STID is released and you reach $300 millions. And this by lowballing each time.
