The Expendables 2 Atop Crowded Box Office With $11.5M Friday/$30M Weekend Despite Bomb Scare, Bourne Legacy $5.4M/$17.2M, Paranorman tatoufan Aug 18, 01:11

"Despite"? Not sure about Nikki's word choice there. I know my expectations dropped immediately when I heard about the threats yesterday a ShawnMR Aug 18, 02:33

Same here, the bomb threats on top of the LAT article, crazy. {nm} tatoufan Aug 18, 02:41

How much do you guys think the threats affected box office? {nm} MrSmitherz Aug 18, 04:26

Not as much as some cheaters who post fake or old news to affect stock prices {nm} karspov Aug 18, 04:35

I certainly won't pretend to know because I think that's an immeasurable stat -- especially until we see real numbers. All I would say is ShawnMR Aug 18, 04:52

This weekend, 2 kid movies opening, I saw risk to the upside this week. Like Shawn said, it's immeasurable, but I figured 10%. {nm} tatoufan Aug 18, 05:21

Is my nubie math correct? rayw Aug 18, 05:46

Not sure where you get that 38%, but... slappydavid Aug 18, 06:01

We're not really suppose to talk about stock prices of active stock, but the math is correct. {nm} elchan Aug 18, 06:02

Thank you! 38% is only a number of my own fabrication, all others numbers are "reported." Proof of math concept only. {nm} rayw Aug 18, 06:17

(Est.) 36.6%: Not far off from my fabricated 38%. Favorably so, too. ;-) rayw Aug 19, 10:08

Even without the bomb scare there really was no reason to think that the movie was going to get to the $40's and $50's. elchan Aug 18, 06:20

And had solid WOM among its aud. The sequel was tracking on par with Bourne 4, and *way* ahead of the first on Facebook & Twitter. Plenty of ShawnMR Aug 18, 08:08
