While Skyline is about Aliens/Sci Fi it does not seem to be the type to appeal to the midnight/fanboy crowd, rather appealing to a more

mainstream crowd.  I read weak midnights as a confirmation of this theory rather than a bad thing in and of itself.  Of course a sci fi movie without fanboy interest has somewhat of a ceiling anyway.

BOP : [SKYLN] will pull 33M$ krapnek Nov 12, 05:20

Don't know about that - xiayun says short, and he's almost always right. On the other hand, I did notice that there are very high numbers of Facto Nov 12, 05:52

He's been wrong before (and as recently as last week with Megamind). {nm} secretstalker Nov 12, 06:04

But, Unstoppable is about a runaway train, how lame is that lol... jeankie Nov 12, 06:07

And Avatar was about blue kitty people. {nm} Hooray360 Nov 12, 07:39

Both Skyline and Unstoppable did unspectacular midnight business, which isn't a big warning sign for Train movie, but is for the Aliens {nm} notfabio Nov 12, 06:04

WEll, it's worse for Unstoppable since that has to make $7.4 million more than Skyline to make its current price. secretstalker Nov 12, 06:05

Unstoppable isn't really a midnight movie,, Skyline, if it was going to break out, is. {nm} notfabio Nov 12, 06:07

but couldn't it be likely that Unstoppable gets better wom? {nm} Facto Nov 12, 06:07

I should add that Skyline didn't do terrible, just nothing to suggest 20+ or anything. {nm} notfabio Nov 12, 06:06

It needs to do 17.5ish, to reach its current price. I do believe BOP are too high, and don't really know them to be reliable forecasters... {nm} Facto Nov 12, 06:11

True, facto, but I think they will pull at leas 20 mil, but I'm not the best forecaster either lol {nm} krapnek Nov 12, 06:14

Sorry, but not being a sequel, I don't think Skyline would necessarily get people out at midnight either. {nm} secretstalker Nov 12, 06:26

Cloverfield did over 800lk for MTC, Skyline under 50k. {nm} notfabio Nov 12, 06:53

800k {nm} notfabio Nov 12, 06:53
