Disagree, mostly. Avengers may be pulling everything else down, but only marginally.
It's not like Battleship would have done 40M without Avengers, or the others more than a few million more than they are doing without Avengers. It's a weak crop, which is really strange since the weekend before Memorial Day weekend is usually one of the prime tentpole spots on the calendar.
DL early: battleship friday 9-11 mil May 18, 13:06
she had her weekend guesses in there, but it's so early that I couldn't bring myself to post them...lol {nm} May 18, 13:10
Obligatory "How does this compare with Hunger Games?" asked {nm} May 18, 13:12
Obligatory "HGAME did twice that in midnights" response. {nm} May 18, 14:35
Does that include the 420K from midnights? BWAHAHAHA!!! May 18, 13:12
Is that way too early for her to estimate ? {nm} May 18, 13:13
It is never too early for her to guess, nor it is ever too often for her to revise. She says 30M for the weekend. {nm} May 18, 13:15
I hope the comes in below 9M. LOL! {nm} May 18, 13:31
thanks, karspov...projecting weekend breakdowns is a skill I've never learned {nm} May 18, 15:04
Ouchies! {nm} May 18, 13:18
12M for DICTR and 15M for WTEXP {nm} May 18, 13:59
Good god, Avengers is just raping and pillaging everything that touches it. {nm} May 18, 14:08
Disagree, mostly. Avengers may be pulling everything else down, but only marginally. May 18, 14:12
Ditto Nonetheless I am really surprised that audiences are repudiating BTSHP. {nm} May 18, 14:21
Why? It's Transformers minus the marketing and the shinny robots from my childhood. {nm} May 18, 14:34
I think good CGI used to be a more reliable ticket. {nm} May 18, 19:32
Good, then the novelty of CGI is finally wearing off. Now if only 3D would burn out I'd be happy. {nm} May 19, 06:03
This year is acting like 2010. Strong BO over spring, including one huge movie. Then an even bigger movie to kick off summer, May 18, 14:28
Both Dictator and What to Expect were pegged to hit around 20 million for some time.. Avengers definitely took a bite May 18, 22:30
I take the opposite point of view. I think those movies were overpegged to begin with and their weakness has allowed May 19, 05:55
Just to clarify - those are the weekend projections, not the Friday numbers. May 18, 14:09
Good to have you back. And yes weekend estimates, hope no one gets confused, may DMAC should erase it {nm} May 18, 14:32
Who sunk my Battleship? May 18, 14:14
No sequel then? {nm} May 18, 14:25
Lets hope there is no sequel. Just saw this. PU. May 18, 17:52
If only Peter Berg had directed The Avengers. At least it wouldn't look like a TV show and have the energy of one. May 18, 14:40
Rihanna is female lead. Will probably effect her more then Decker. {nm} May 18, 15:10
Rihanna's role is far from the lead. {nm} May 18, 15:41
She has highest female billing though {nm} May 18, 16:29
The Hasbro deal was they paid 5 million in penalties to exit Candyland and Stretch Armstrong {nm} May 18, 15:20
I thought they were going to make Candyland with Sandler starring? {nm} May 19, 00:11
No, Rihanna is a goddess. No one should or will blame her for this Peter Berg fiasco. As for the others, who cares? {nm} May 18, 18:22
Pfft. She was terrible in it and fugly looking to boot. At least Decker provided eye candy. May 18, 22:42
And Peter Berg is a cool guy. May 18, 22:48
