mtc uh oh edition 27 battle 16 dictator 14 expect 3 day {nm} notfabio May 14, 12:45

let the carnage begin... {nm} jwammo May 14, 12:49

What!!! {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 14, 12:50

you sunk my Battleship! {nm} tealfan May 14, 12:55

No!!!!!! {nm} jmr May 14, 12:58

Now you're talkin my language. {nm} lhayes37 May 14, 13:00

Those are some wildly different numbers from RS this week. Avengers is clearly impacting demand for other films at this point (Not surprisi ShawnMR May 14, 13:04

no, the lack of interest in non-Avengers movies is affecting their demand {nm} mickpix May 14, 14:02

No, its technically both. ;) {nm} ShawnMR May 14, 14:24

anyone who truly wants to see Battleship this weekend will not be precluded from doing so mickpix May 14, 14:39

I wouldn't underestimate the psychological effect of a huge crowd-pleaser opening up the eyes of some who might otherwise have been interest ShawnMR May 14, 15:53

Except The Avengers isn't good enough to have that effect. It's vastly overrated. {nm} jmr May 14, 22:54

Your opinion is in the minority here. You might think it's overrated, but what matters is that most people don't. HurricaneKid May 15, 11:22

The Battleship Trailer gives me a distinct Battle: L.A. vibe... {nm} Facto May 14, 13:13

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. {nm} Bionic Moron May 14, 13:20

Battle: LA, 2012, Green Lantern, Cowboys & Aliens, ... {nm} ShawnMR May 14, 13:23

I really did like Battle: LA, so I'm cool w/ comps. {nm} Oleg Max May 14, 13:24

Relating to box office though, Universal won't be happy...hah. {nm} ShawnMR May 14, 14:24

All hands: prepare to dive! {nm} banke005 May 14, 13:26

It really does make a lot of sense considering AVENGERS' performance... {nm} BorderLand May 14, 13:27

Tagging MTC (all 3 day): [BTSHP] 27; [DICTR] 16; [WTEXP] 14 {nm} Paul2k May 14, 13:27

I could see Battleship disappointing, but the Dictator number just doesn't feel feasible to me MiyazakiFan May 14, 14:51

Few things would please me more than to see these 2 awful looking flicks tank. Borat Part 3 and yet another lame CGI crapfest. {nm} goodvibe61 May 15, 09:35

WOW. Even worse then I thought! {nm} thatpj May 14, 14:51

You're forgetting MTC was lower than RS on Avengers and look how that turned out {nm} JDolphin May 14, 15:19

not nearly as big a difference percentage-wise though (only around 15% for Avengers); when MTC is more than 50% lower xiayun May 14, 15:31

I don't think it's going to make RS number, but I also think MTC is just as bad on the low side {nm} JDolphin May 14, 15:47

I personally could see $25m OW for Battleship {nm} xiayun May 14, 18:56

Looking back on my records, MTC has about a 76% accuracy rate so far in 2012. That translates to a max of $35.5m and min of $20.5m for ShawnMR May 14, 16:35

not surprised at all rberryhsx May 15, 00:38
