RS: [MDBHF] low 30s [WELPH] low double digits [AFCAT] mid single digits on Apr 17, 13:37
Anyone remember what the last film three weeks from release not to be tracked by RS was? Not sure if its relevant or not, but curious... {nm} on Apr 17, 13:50
Don't think it matters.. they only have five spaces for futures and it seems to be a fairly random omission on Apr 17, 13:56
It's alphabetical order, I'm guessing. And I assume they omit movies tracking in the single digits for futures. {nm} on Apr 17, 13:59
Alphabetical order doesn't make any sense. Of course, RS doesn't make a lot of sense either, so... {nm} on Apr 17, 15:03
Yea, just remembered that. Has that ever been explained anyway? (The "five spaces" and "alphabetical" qualifiers) {nm} on Apr 17, 13:58
Each report for future films is a single page. I would imagine they want to see if madea opens to similar or drastically lower than jail {nm} on Apr 17, 17:04
So they can adjust their numbers before going too high since blowing Thor prediction would be particularly embarrassing {nm} on Apr 17, 17:07
Anybody remember the tracking for the first two Madea films. I know RS is always off on her films. {nm} on Apr 17, 14:12
Can't remember exactly and no links handy, but yea, Madea films and most urban films have typically been underestimated in the past. {nm} on Apr 17, 14:41
RS on 3 perry films: WDIG2 - low 20's; opened to 29.3M, ICDBA - mid 20's, opened 23.4M, and MDGTJ - 21-24, opened 41.0M on Apr 17, 15:38
Elephants seems like a sleeper on Apr 17, 14:39
Doesn't hurt that the book was a NYT Best Seller for three months a few years back, either. To be honest, I've heard more about the book in on Apr 17, 14:43
Eat Pray Love was a better seller as a book with a beller release date and a bigger star on Apr 17, 15:11
The last film Roberts opened big on her own was a decade ago: America's Sweethearts (2001 - $30m OW). {nm} on Apr 17, 15:34
The last film Pattinson opened on his own was never. Witherspoon is close to as out of date as Roberts. {nm} on Apr 17, 16:04
Word. {nm} on Apr 17, 16:13
I think you missed my point. Roberts isn't that much of a star nowadays. Frankly, few are. Starpower isn't near as important as it was on Apr 17, 16:28
Fine, lets shift gears and talk romantic drama then. According to BOM classicifactions, only 3 have ever opened over 19M. on Apr 17, 16:43
Indeed, I would struggle to stay awake while watching it. {nm} on Apr 17, 18:52
