wow....PRSIA w/ a 200M budget and MTC estimates a 50M opening on Memorial Day Weekend? is the PG13 killing it or is tracking really that lobogotti May 24, 10:26

How was PG13 kill it? Pirates were PG13. {nm} Antibody May 24, 10:37

i am asking, i don't know. that is just a horribly low number for a weekend that produces big openers. so my question is what is MTC lobogotti May 24, 10:44

Big openings for sequels/Pixar {nm} notfabio May 24, 10:48

yes indeed, 50M just seems terribly low for this Disney tentpole. i think RS was in the mid 70s last that you posted and that seemed maybe lobogotti May 24, 10:52

just checked.....sorry, low 70s {nm} lobogotti May 24, 10:53

Day After Tomorrow is a reasonable comparison, but that was an easy disaster movie sell, all the other big openers had (then) bankable leads notfabio May 24, 10:54

makes sense....thanks {nm} lobogotti May 24, 10:55

I assume MTC does its own survey. As notfabio poinsted out, those are not comparable films. {nm} Antibody May 24, 10:53

i know...i said this "....now i know these aren't comparable to PRSIA" {nm} lobogotti May 24, 10:54

The it was pointless comparison. :P {nm} Antibody May 24, 10:55

guess i have been spoiled these past several years seeing Memorial Day just go crazy with all the HUGE openings. if it does clock in at or lobogotti May 24, 10:58

PRSIA has been priced to to open betweeen 50 and 60 for the last month. {nm} Antibody May 24, 11:04

Not looking good for Persia when MTC is massively below RS, as it showed last week with Shrek and MacGruber xiayun May 24, 10:58

Good. As I said the movie looks like it will stink. If it sucks, an epic fail is warranted. goodvibe61 May 24, 11:11
