I saw it, discussion inside (vague spoils)

Posted by: RogerMore on Jul 30, 10:00 in response to RollingThunder's post Surprised considering the reviews really aren't stellar.

The reviews (I think) are tempered by the movie not making as much sense as the previous instalments - character motivations, etc. It's definitely less well-thought out and less thoughtful than the others. But it still delivers some tense moments and great action scenes, which is what the major part of the audience responds to.

BORN5 $22.71, BMOMS $9.6, TREK3 $6.75, PETS $5.53 diamondman56 Jul 30, 08:19

BORN5 has a slightly higher opening day than TREK3 even though its Thursday #s were lower. {nm} diamondman56 Jul 30, 08:20

Bourne didnt have Imax or marathons to gfb pump up Thursday totals {nm} notfabio Jul 30, 08:53

for Bmom there was a heavy group sales push for Thursday which could explain weaker overall Friday {nm} notfabio Jul 30, 08:56

I guess the babysitters used the money they made on Thursday to go see Nerve on Friday. {nm} diamondman56 Jul 30, 09:05

Niiiice... so the $50-$55M estimates were about $10M too low. {nm} Flash Jul 30, 09:11

not sure which estimates you are talking about, but based off early Fri #'s, lowest was 55. no one had 50 {nm} Oleg Max Jul 30, 09:17

One of the trades said it was tracking at $35 million earlier in the week. {nm} diamondman56 Jul 30, 09:19

I think there were others, but Box Office Pro had it down for $51M... Flash Jul 30, 09:21

That's a pre-release prediction and they're just throwing darts as demonstrated from the change from 65 to 49 to 51 within 7 days, {nm} Antibody Jul 30, 09:29

Antibody, you're not supposed to actually reveal their methods:)... {nm} TwoMisfits Jul 30, 09:34

Nobody knows anything. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 30, 10:06

Including that fact. :) {nm} DTravel Jul 30, 10:30

We knew it wouldn't do 5 or 200, that narrows the range of knowledge somewhat ;) {nm} MattW Jul 30, 10:35

Well, until a movie actually opens, most "numbers" or estimates are just a "prediction." {nm} Flash Jul 30, 09:41

There are clear differences between "prediction numbers" that are pre-release guesses, early Thu/Fri projection and Sun estimates. {nm} Antibody Jul 30, 09:45

Oh, I agree...that's why AFTER a movie opens it's clearer how the numbers play out, no "guessing" needed. {nm} Flash Jul 30, 09:47

My original post was only meant to mean - estimates (guesses) were low, that's all. {nm} Flash Jul 30, 09:49

Your incorrect use of "estimates" was confusing to us. {nm} Antibody Jul 30, 09:54

Got it, I should have made that clearer. {nm} Flash Jul 30, 10:09

they need better darts {nm} tealfan Jul 30, 10:41

I admit - I saw $50M for this movie's opening, so it exceeded my expectations... TwoMisfits Jul 30, 09:28

That includes thursday night right? So only around 8 {nm} Baron_Darcon Jul 30, 12:13

18 for friday {nm} Baron_Darcon Jul 30, 12:14
