BO: Early grosses put THE HEAT on pace for $45M this weekend and WHITE HOUSE DOWN at $27M. Oleg Max Jun 28, 12:32

That would be less than OLYHF. : ( sad trombone) {nm} Antibody Jun 28, 12:36

yeah, it would be... how about that... WHDWN was always are higher profile movie in my mind... maybe its too early still {nm} Oleg Max Jun 28, 12:42

WHDWN had more than twice the production and marketing budget. {nm} Antibody Jun 28, 12:44

that, plus REMME involvement... I guess people thought they've already seen that movie earlier in the year. {nm} Oleg Max Jun 28, 12:50

Just my opinion, but I thought the ad campaign over the past month to be terrible Dales Jun 28, 12:58

Agreed, its a campaign for a comedy. {nm} DTravel Jun 28, 18:05

LAT goes lower... has WHITE HOUSE DOWN only at $25m medusa Jun 28, 12:44

The Heat, on the other hand, could be headed for a $45m weekend. (when did he start tweeting box office #s?) Antibody Jun 28, 12:45

He does occasionally iirc {nm} medusa Jun 28, 12:47

Melissa McCarthy is about to start REALLY getting paid. she's gonna have two $100M films in less than 6 months... lobogotti Jun 28, 12:46

NO! I don't want theat to do that well. :( {nm} grammar Jun 28, 12:47

middies #'s threw you off, didn't they? {nm} Oleg Max Jun 28, 12:51

Not solely. It was more tatoufan's post with Melissa McC's BO's. :( Talking to a bunch of friends last night I had the feel that THEAT was grammar Jun 28, 13:39

Im in the same league.... was long all along until the middies and tatoufan post... the good thing is that i only did it on my YTD port {nm} gogreenytd Jun 28, 14:14

Let's beat on him. mysti HSX Jun 28, 14:29

My problem with WHDWN is that it looks to much like OLYHF. I didn't see OLYHF at all, but previews made them look similar. Quickslver99 Jun 28, 13:11

My problem is Jamie Fox as the president {nm} lapuckfan Jun 28, 13:41

Yeah that is a problem as well. I think you need a serious person as the president not a funny one, IMO. {nm} Quickslver99 Jun 28, 14:04

yes, I agree - not presidential at all {nm} daveart Jun 28, 16:25

well, maybe this will be the end of copycat movies...or at least copycats within the same year...lol {nm} tealfan Jun 28, 13:21

wow. some of you made some killer dough, whitehouse was at 121H$ this week. EEK {nm} adrenalin112 Jun 28, 14:13

Very nice! thatpj Jun 28, 14:32
