Basically anything huge not making Avengers-type money is being viewed as a failure for some reason.

Nope.
It went down on a holiday .
I am CERTAIN there are at least some fans of Spider_Man who would take note of that if we were talking The Avengers or TDKR dropping on The Fourth of July .
And another reason it is a concern is that it will drop today too,
People are going back to work , it is a given .
So, a great Fourth would have been nice .

Well, we are talking about a holiday where people generally spend their evenings outside grilling and watching fireworks in large numbers...

So why are people surprised that not as many people watched it on the 4th?

I can see TASM will make around 250 Domestic it will be a uphill battle to make over 300 million Domestic

 

[Liam_H]

That's horrible if true. Transformers bumped up from 27M to 29M on the 4th. Maybe audiences aren't so hooked on this as we might have thought.

Well if you exclude midnights the drop isn't quite that bad. But this number is not very encouraging.

So then what do you think was Sony's strategy on releasing it on this date?

...Because I'm trying to figure it out myself.

Bold, risky, sure...and if the mixed-to-bad WOM keeps spreading like cockroaches, it will keep sinking throughout the weekend...rather than give themselves an extra few kicks in the shin from the already mixed buzz preceding the release and allow the buzz to spread and infect, wouldn't they have fared better by waiting until Friday?

...Or maybe they were just interested in grabbing as many days as they could before The Bat flies through...

Mixed-to-bad WOM? It's at an 84% RT user rating.

I mean, they obviously think they'll have a big weekend because of the 4th. That's definitely possible. This weekend might serve them well. My point is that (For the people freaking about it not doing as good yesterday as tuesday) is that yesterday was the actual forth of July. People are usually outside.

And mixed to bad? It's doing fine at ratings. SM3 had mixed to bad. (People always forget this. It wasn't reviewed that poorly by the general audience). I'd say it has mixed to good. It's doing fine with reviews.

A- cinemascore is not mixed to bad idk where that keeps coming from. See what happens this weekend geez

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I wouldn't say the WOM is mixed to negative here. I'd say the WOM is positive to mixed (where Prometheus currently resides). The fact is TASM just wasn't as hotly anticipated as The Avengers was, and as TDKR is presently tracking, and TASM just wasn't a mindblowing film to the public. Arguments can be made about user ratings but once again the drop could prove to be a sign that TASM simply wasn't what Spidey fans are making it out to be. A 44% drop is never encouraging.

I still see TASM having a 125 million 6-day opening however.

It sure is a sign of worry..
I expected it to be around 40-45 million atleast

SM3 was a sequel to 2 excellent movies,it was a given that it would earn that much even if it is very bad,people kept coming in since they enjoyed the previous 2 movies

Plus and A- cinemascore!

It's seems silly to worry about the box office when the film has already made $60m in 2 days. Is it massive AVENGERS cash? No, but to try and spin it as a negative is just ridiculous.

It had a great midnight showing Monday night... "It did ok..."
It set a Tuesday record... "Doesn't seem encouraging."
Second highest 4th of July gross. "BOMB!!!"

 

[Liam_H]

Lol, such an increase was never gonna happen. July 4th is more about a marathon than a sprint.

 

[Spiderdevil]

MIB3 has made 600Million dollars world wide and it has a 69% Critics RT and 73% user RT,Spidey has better ratings plus spiderman's fanbase is bigger

This gives me the encouragement that it will make about 700ME world wide which is very very good imo

Er, it's a 31% drop. Start worrying when it's 60+%

Last time such a configuration happened TF made nearly half its money in that 6 day span. Sony is hoping for the same kind of bank.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Well upon doing more research, several websites have listed the drop inbetween 35-45%. So... yeah...

Didnt SM2 make about $150 million During the Fourth of July weekend?
So, is the theory that people ate MORE hot Dogs then when Transformers was released during the Fourth of July weekend ?

Mine too! Haha.

And they're wrong.

$34,166,884 Tues, $23,335,925 Wednesday = -31.7%

 

[cobrastatus]

Spidey still has this weekend to look forward to

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I think it will make 135-145 m for the 6 day.

That puts it in the 265-295 range. That's not a bomb or a disappointment. That's within the reasonable predictions from a few months ago.

Even if it under performs in Europe, 900 m WW is a lock.

 

[JP]

Sony predicted 110-120 million. Because of the way it's performed the last 2 days, they've increased their prediction to $130+

 

[Mysteryman]

It will start to pick up on Friday ,
But ,I would be surprised if it exceeded or even matched SM2s opening take .

I hope you are right..
