i'd love to see PTCP2 do well, but im finding 40+ OW kind of a stretch, aside from BO.com is anyone else projecting that high? {nm} adrenalin112 May 06, 11:48

It could be the new Mama Mia? I think it'll bring many of the women out, and quite a few of those will drag hubbies and bfs along? {nm} Facto May 06, 11:51

Tracking from last week Antibody May 06, 11:55

thanks. i knew the fan base grew greatly after it hit home viewing markets, but that kinda growth is huge. {nm} adrenalin112 May 06, 13:29

Early reviews are very good. First one grossed $65m domestically and WOM was quite good, IIRC. I wasn't surprised by the tracking. {nm} RollingThunder May 06, 12:10

65m OW? {nm} Dorfman May 06, 12:18

$65m total domestic gross. First opened wide to $15m following a $5m limited OW ($15k PTA). {nm} RollingThunder May 06, 12:22

yeah I realized i misread your first post. {nm} Dorfman May 06, 12:25

yeah, im aware. I was part of the WOM. I saw it free twice as a mktg screener, then went back with a date & paid for it. {nm} adrenalin112 May 06, 13:31

WHy is a movie that grossed 65m total have a seqel expected to do 40m ow... seems a bit of a stretch {nm} Dorfman May 06, 12:18

some films catch a fanbase through DVD and cable airings. it's a rarity, but it happens from time to time. lobogotti May 06, 12:31

yeah I just didn't see it doing in just the OW 61.5% of what the first movie did total. But hey. What do I know. {nm} Dorfman May 06, 12:42

and it may not, but if I'd never saw a tracking stat I would predict a $30M OW on gut alone. {nm} lobogotti May 06, 12:46

That I could belive. {nm} Dorfman May 06, 12:47

Agreed. $40m seems like a fair number to me just from name alone. Pitch Perfect became a monster after theatrical release. MiyazakiFan May 06, 12:47

austin powers 1: $9.5M OW....austin 2: $54.9M OW islander May 06, 13:10

Not to mention Austin Powers 2 made more OW than AP1 made in total gross. {nm} benz0 May 06, 14:18
