Death at a Funeral is not likely to make anywhere near WDIG2 numbers, I'd say. It's got direct competition from WDIG2 itself, it has no Jane
t Jackson, it's not Tyler Perry, and it opens too hot on the heals of WDIG2 (considering it's the same target demo - the "urban" crowd) for there to be pent-up demand. That demo has just been satiated by WDIG2, so you get the direct opposite of pent-up demand. On the other hand, some could be left wanting more. So it won't be entirely a one way street. But before I see any tracking that is at least 50% better than it's had so far, I don't see Death at a Funeral adjusting above 55M.
Is Kick-Ass actually starting to track better? Apr 05, 06:42
Tracking was in the 20s from Reel Source who also predicted over $80 million for Clash. Apr 05, 07:13
We should ask horlicks, the Twitter expert, what he thinks... surely it's gotta be on there already. {nm} Apr 05, 07:13
Its tracking amazingly well on Twitter. 4200 tweets last week. Ninja Assassin by comparison had 1700. Apr 05, 13:28
FWIW, KCKAS is already playing in theaters in Europe. {nm} Apr 05, 13:59
Definitely a factor in number of tweets. There are for instance a lot of Twitter users in the UK. {nm} Apr 05, 14:23
Yes that does make a difference, but its factored into my ratio estimate and total. {nm} Apr 05, 15:23
Would be fantastic to find out what tracking service and/or bureau the Los Angeles Times (LAT) uses... Apr 05, 07:38

Different audience. The older, African-Amercan female fans of TPERR and WDIG2 are not gonna see the vulgar DEFUN. {nm} Apr 05, 08:57
I think word-of-mouth is going to play a huge factor with this movie. It has been released in parts of Europe and... Apr 05, 07:21
Kick @ss is ironic, and Superhero Movie is a spoof. The difference is intelligence {nm} Apr 05, 07:58
Millar's style of irony isn't very intelligent... and his work IS parody. Apr 05, 09:14
Having not read the comic (nor am I interested in reading comics in general), from the movie alone... Apr 05, 11:29
KCKAS is very much a parody as well, just more subversive. {nm} Apr 05, 09:48
Spoof movies haven't been successful in the better part of a decade. {nm} Apr 05, 08:51
