I see Rio and Priest being competition!
Rio came out in America over a week ago and Thor doesn't come out until 1 week and 6 days from now.
I see Rio and Priest being competition!
No way will Thor open behind Fast 5, for one they're not opening in the same week, and for two the other Fast and Furious movies all had over 60% drops in week 2.
I'm a little suprised that the opening was like that since Chris is your guy's homeboy, but take that for what it's worth.
He's not that well known here, trust me. Just saying, don't count your chickens before they're hatched. I'm suspecting the box office is more reflection on the amount of 3D sessions being shown.
Nobody is going to see Priest. Pirates is its only competition. But then Cars 2 and GL in June. If Thor can't make enough by then then that's it. It doesn't have long to make a solid amount.
I actually think a solid weekend for Fast 5 will be good for Thor. It's been a really slow year at the box office. Fast 5 will warm audiences up a bit.
Now you're getting me all worried, jmc. I live in the Washington DC area, and I've never had a problem finding 2D presentations of 3D films. That had better not change, dammit.
Also, it wouldn't surprise me if Thor had a disappointing opening weekend. As I've mentioned in the past, I think most of the marketing has made it look silly to those of us less familiar with Thor. Sounds like word-of-mouth could (hopefully) save it if it does initially disappoint at the box office, though.
I agree. I think Bridesmaids will have a bigger opening weekend than Priest.
Thor's in a great spot, IMO. It's got two weeks to make most of its take, without a lot else going on. Fast 5 will opening big, but have a huge drop.
Fast 5 will be huge. It'll at least equal its predecessor's opening weekend of 70m, but the bizarrely favourable reviews could mean it has a bit of legs too. What that means for Thor it's hard to say, but I suspect a 50-60m opening weekend followed by a leggy run.
Yeah, the first week of May is always pretty good. It has no competition its opening weekend too.
This sounds like what would happen. It might open bigger than TIH. But Hulk is more known, despite the fact it came off of Hulk. In a way, people knew it was still Hulk.
But I just thought that with Priset and Bridsmaids coming out a week later, Thor still has a good chance of keeping its money up. I think chicks will go see Bridesmaids, which could detract from Thor. BUt hopefully it will have a solid enough second weekend. Then good WOM will be its savior.
I don't remember what happened with IM when Indy opened a couple weeks later. How did that hold up?
Anyway, what were all you guys predicting for opening weekend when IM was about to come out?
Fast 5 is getting good reviews?!?
I think Cap will have the biggest problem box office wise. Harry Potter will destroy the box office.
GL isn't looking so hot either, with Cars 2 and Bayformers following it.
