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

I know I'm not going to see this in the theater. I couldn't care less about this. it looks like another anonymous, stupid action fest.

I think Sex and the City is going to romp all over this. Women will flock to SATC2 no matter what. I"m looking for PRSIA to get steamrolled by Carrie and her buddies.

I'll simply wait for Toy Story and Inception to go to the theater. There are hundreds of great looking movies I can explore at home until something decent comes along.

I am thinking about going back to see Exit Through The Gift Shop again though. That might happen before Toy Story 3. Otherwise: see you in a theater a month from now for Toy Story 3!

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

UP opened weekend after memorial day shawman May 25, 01:25

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