Box Office 2005

was that way off or what?

Yeah, they haven't been that good at predicting numbers for different movies. They predicted $300 million as total gross for Madagascar, and as it looks now it will struggle to reach even $200 million

Must say I'm very surprised at the low numbers for Batman Begins so far. The estimated numbers for Friday is only another $15 million, which means it probably will end somewhere between $40 and $50 million for the three day weekend. After all the good reviews it got I was sure it would do a lot better than that.

if it gets a 40 mill weekend, then it will be around The Hulk, which isnt a good thing when they sppent around 180 mill on BB

How do this years summer BO totals compare to last year so far?

 

[terry78]

Went to go see Bats again today earlier at a 3pm showing, and thinking I was gonna be screwed because I figured it would be sold out. The woman tells me, "yeah, we have about 200 seats left, so I think you'll be fine." It was about one fourth of the way full...crazy.

The general movie public....what morons!

First Cinderalla Man....now Batman Begins.


I mean, people argue that they are tired of dumb movies.... and when they get good ones.. Well...they skip them.

Damn those Black folks..... (that's in reference to the Chris Rock sketch that said black folks like to watch crappy movies and have no taste in good movies....so I'm not being a racist folks....lol.....good day)

Last year was better, which at this time had hits like Shrek 2, Harry Potter and The Day After Tomorrow. And Spider-Man 2 still a few weeks away.

I know, it's freakin crazy. I went to Batman tonight(Saturday) at the 10 pm show and there was maybe 15 people there!! Same with Cinderalla Man last weekend, maybe a little more but all 20 were at least 60 years old!

There were some pretty good trailers before BB. I'm excited about this summer's movies but I'm a little worried that the FF will not do too great.

Not to mention Troy was an international hit and before the summer there was TPOTC. Box office is WAY down this year.

[Galactus]

$46,9 million are the estimated numbers for the weekend for Batman Begins, and $71,1 million since Wednesday

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

It'll make about 5 million each day from Monday to Thursday. Which will bring about 20 to 22 million for the week. With another 24 for the second weekend.

 

[Sava]

what?...

 

[Manwithoutpeer]

$46,9 million are the estimated numbers for the weekend for Batman Begins, and $71,1 million since Wednesday

That's not too bad...though a great movie and a great icon deserve a little more IMO.

Latest predictions:

Rebound: $10 to 12 million over the four-day weekend on its way to around $35 million.
War of the Worlds: $30 to 33 million on Weds/Thurs with another $68 to 70 million over the four-day 4th of July weekend. With close to $100 million in its first six days, it shouldn’t have a problem making at least $200 million over the course of the summer.

 

[That-Guy]

Man, I really, REALLY hope Batman Begins makes more than Hitch. I can't believe that movie is #2 for the year so far.
