RS: [THOR] high 50s, [JUMPB] 10 million, [STBRW] high single digits {nm} May 01, 18:46
[BRDSM] low 20s [PRIEST] slightly higher low 20s [PIRT4] 100 million [HNOV2] mid-to-high 80s 5 day [PAND2] 120 mil 5 day {nm} May 01, 18:48
Here's my wild guess that MTC will be higher on THOR and BRDSM, and lower on Priest. Now, let's put wild guesses to the test. May 01, 18:58
But it's surely... May 01, 20:34
Hmm.. Although, Boxoffice.com has predicted a 95M OW for it, iirc? {nm} May 01, 20:39
Yes, but there's no comment there on the 4-day / 5-day question. May 01, 20:49
Hmmm... Very interesting, thanks {nm} May 01, 20:54
Huh. Hangover and Panda are opening on Thursday? What's that multiplier then, Thursday + (2.2 * 4-day weekend)? {nm} May 01, 19:13
Yes {nm} May 01, 19:14
Argh, weekends like that make by brain hurt. {nm} May 01, 19:33
Boxoffice.com also did not have high expectations for STBRW or JUMPB, calling them "modest romantic comedies" (iirc). {nm} May 01, 18:54
Pretty sure STBRW will do better than that. {nm} May 01, 18:54
Why? You don't state any reasons - BoxOffice.Com said something as to why they think it won't do much business :-) {nm} May 01, 18:56
I don't think so. Twitter has missed lately, but it's quite reliable in predicting underperformers with low tweet counts. {nm} May 01, 18:57
yeah the young woman fanbase of the book is INTENSE {nm} May 01, 18:57
two wedding comedies have never opened against each other different demo or not {nm} May 01, 18:59
And then Bridesmaids follows the week after. Talk about wedding overload! {nm} May 01, 19:00
.. but, just to play devil's advocate, it *is* wedding season, no.. ? :-) May 01, 20:03
There's a book? :) {nm} May 01, 18:59
irony, right? May 01, 19:00
(and I am of course not talking about notfabio!) {nm} May 01, 19:06
naw. kate hudson is played out and no one knows who the other one even is {nm} May 01, 18:58
Yup, even in 2003, DVORC did 9M full run.. "Le Divorce is a wacky romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts." {nm} May 01, 19:04
that wasnt given even a moderate push domestically and a terrible title {nm} May 01, 19:07
Sure, but it had Kate Hudson on the posters and marquees.. And Something Borrowed is expected to do at least double. May 01, 19:09
MBFSG, Oct 2008 delist of 18.75: "Dane Cook and Kate Hudson star in the romantic comedy [My Best Friend's Girl].... " {nm} May 01, 19:19
stbrw also plain, generic, terrible title. bet 5 h-bucks at least one review will lead with "Soemthing Boring" {nm} May 01, 19:12
Heh :-) "Something boring, snored all through" {nm} May 01, 19:13
yeah it's pretty bland-looking May 01, 19:54
I think it looks dreadful May 01, 19:23
I suppose it pushes a 'meek inheriting the earth' button May 01, 19:51
I honestly don't know how STBRW could open worse than MADE OF HONOR in the same frame. {nm} May 01, 18:57
Bingo... the advertising for STBRW has been better and more prevalent even though I'm sure it's just as bad. {nm} May 01, 19:01
We'll find out (if and when it happens, next weekend ;)) May 01, 19:01
The BOM poll for STBRW is already starting out markedly weaker, which is a poor sign. {nm} May 01, 19:04
You can't judge women's movies based on BOM Polls... I'd be shocked if they had more than 4 women responding {nm} May 01, 19:14
If those 4 women answer every womens movie poll on BOM something can be gleaned from it via comparison. {nm} May 01, 19:29
(snark;) {nm} May 01, 23:24
agreed May 01, 20:07
So, RS amended numbers. They used to be low 50's for THOR, mid teens for Borrowed and low double digits for Jumping. May 01, 19:40
Borrowed and Broom heading south - and in line with BoxOffice.com's predictions. So, MTC should be lower - but we'll see. {nm} May 01, 19:42
Those are pretty weak numbers for Thor... it opened 82 million world wide... and no one knows about Thor outside america.. May 01, 20:41
No way! The bark-o-meter has it lower than Fast5. More to follow later in the week. {nm} May 01, 20:54
Thor has more oversea appeal {nm} May 01, 21:01
Now that's just crazy talk... May 01, 22:44
I'd suggest Thors Australian popularity is more to do with the fact Chris Hemsworth rose to fame playing a key role May 01, 22:45
