This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]459935[/split]
No it's not going to drop worse next weekend. The drop is going to be better like it is for almost all movies. The hyperbole of this post is just as bad as anyone pretending this drop isn't bad.Man Friday's drop was harsh, and with 2 new movies coming out next week it's only going to get worse. Wouldn't bet on 300 mil right now.
the overseas total should always be at least twice of domestic.
The bigger question mark is overseas. Is 700 million still a guarantee? Not sure.
I think the last significant weekend is the four day 4th of July weekend. Then it will crawl along. I don't see 300.
Yea but its not like WB didn't know what was coming in the schedule. If your movie is a good as it is then WOM should be able to carry it and still thrive in spite of competition. Sure any movie can look better if had 3 or 4 weeks to itself.
Exactly. It was a lock to make 400mil last weekend and now it's not even going to make 250mil. Hype Hyperbole at it's finest. It's not enough to just tell it like it is.This always happens. After last OW, you had people overreact and project it for 350-400 mill. Now after a big second week drop, people will overreact the other way

Not that MOS didn't already do very well.. but just sad to see $100M vanish due to some scheduling mishap...
Here's a pretty strong evidence that MOS's huge drop is due to the crowded space and have very little to do with it's WOM or Quality...

You can see the day to day comparison between Spiderman / Ironman / MOS
MOS was way, way higher every day since opening till thursday (thurs was not that much higher due to some TV event in the US for MOS).. but the sudden drop on Fri indicates that the competition just took it's legs out from under it..
This is truly, IMO, is a problem with the release date...
There is no let up from now on too: If MU and WWZ can take out that much leg from under MOS, think what
Next week: White House Down / The Heat combination would do?
Week after: Despicable Me / Lone Ranger (the most potent combination yet)
Then July 12th: Grown Ups / Pacific Rim
