X3 Box Office Tracker

I wouldn't exactly call "Rumor Has It," "Derailed" and "Friends With Money" blockbusters either.

Derailed was a low budget drama/thriller.

Friends With Money was a low budget indie comedy. Not a big budget studio tentpole. It made quite a bit of profit as well.

Along Came Polly and Bruce Almighty are blockbusters. The Break-Up clearly is.

I think she's more famous thanks to the tabloids. I don't think she can carry a movie on her name alone. And I do think she's very talented--not the funniest "Friend," but very talented.

Well it wasn't a blockbuster, but she definitely carried The Good Girl. She carried Picture Perfect a long time back just fine.

But if it's not another chick flick, then what's to be embarrassed about? It's a sorely-needed romantic comedy, with a high-profile Hollywood couple, a huge box office draw like Vince Vaughn...what was it, about a $5 million difference in box office between X3 and "Breakup" that first weekend?

Yes after X-men 3 dropped off almost 70%.

It they'd gotten their butts kicked by "The Lake House" that weekend, I'd be embarrassed.

No you wouldn't. But Fox and Tom Rothman would be, which they are.

Why don't you work on more questions for Favreau .

 

[Advanced Dark]

Ok I'm warning you.

 

[TheVileOne]

This guy is my sensei.

I'm not scared.

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ Well we'll have to match sensei's because my Sensei can beat up your Sensei.

 

[Carp Man]

Your both amatures.

Derailed was a low budget drama/thriller.

Friends With Money was a low budget indie comedy. Not a big budget studio tentpole. It made quite a bit of profit as well.

But hardly enough to carry a major movie alone. Rumor Has It was a high-profile movie, and it tanked.

Along Came Polly and Bruce Almighty are blockbusters. The Break-Up clearly is.

They're blockbusters because of Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey.

Well it wasn't a blockbuster, but she definitely carried The Good Girl. She carried Picture Perfect a long time back just fine.

She was terrific in The Good Girl. But good luck trying to find a theater that was actually playing it.

You have a little crush, don't you?

Yes after X-men 3 dropped off almost 70%.

No you wouldn't. But Fox and Tom Rothman would be, which they are.

Are they? Fox, the masters of spin?

I think you're embarrassed for them.

Best 50 cent movie house there is. 50 cents all day Tuesdays. 1.50 every other day. 6 screens, hold 150 people each screen, 900 total. So yea. I'll go there to see SR. Got to get there early on Tuesdays. Standing room only. It's owned by WallaceTheaters. Norstar 14, the 7.50 theater here, is in same group, so it's not some hole in the wall you think it is. It's not some peep show theater. And for 50 cents, it works. 1.50 for big tub of popcorn that you would pay 8 bucks for at the Norstar 14. So It's owned by the big boys, they have made there money showing it at the Norstar 14,and this is a side business theater. Why they can show it so cheep. Same manager for both theaters. Both theaters owned by the same corporation. Everything they make from there is pure profit.

Holy crap that looks depressing...hows the screen and sound? Do they have bathrooms or do you just go outside? just asking...but is it as bad as it looks...

ok back to X3 and not really...but how do you think Click is gonna debut? imo...this looks like his worst one yet....but everytime i say that...I end up sorta like-ing them. Do you think X3 will be outa the top ten?

Hey Advance Dark...you responded to one of my questions on the Favs Q&A

 

[TheVileOne]

But hardly enough to carry a major movie alone. Rumor Has It was a high-profile movie, and it tanked.

She can carry a movie alone. The Good Girl is proof of that. The Break-Up wasn't just carried by Vaughn. Aniston had to do an equal amount of work. It was a dual lead.

They're blockbusters because of Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey.

They are still blockbusters she starred in. She had the title role in former.

But I thought The Break-Up was a blockbuster because of . . . VAUGHNISTON!

She was terrific in The Good Girl. But good luck trying to find a theater that was actually playing it.

You have a little crush, don't you?

Not at all. I think she's a solid performer and does pretty good work.

Are they? Fox, the masters of spin?

I think you're embarrassed for them.

I'm not embarrassed at all, I'm happy.

And yes, Rothman and co., all they did was spin a web of misleading direction in regards to X-men 3.

Alright who got the Vile One started... l was just looking at the daily comparisons of X3 and X2 it looks like X3 is holding its own. So what is all this talk of a movie having legs... did X2 have legs??? Or is legs reserved for movies like Spiderman and the Titanic.

 

[TNC9852002]

X3 still hasn't made as much as X2, in terms of adjusted gross...I think X3 has to make over 235m domestically in order to do that. Nonetheless, it still has a very good domestic and worldwide gross so far. I expect the worldwide numbers to pass up X2's by Monday...

[TNC9852002]

This isn't very impressive considering that the movie had a budget well over $200 million.

It should be impressive...Only because not many high budget movies have been passing the 200m mark too recently...The budget shouldn't make a huge difference. Passing 200m should already an impressive feat, IMO.

X-men 3 also got beat in its second weekend by an anti-romantic comedy that had a QUARTER of the budget X-men 3 did. That's pretty sad.

Well, it's not sad at all, considering how X3 opened on a memorial day weekend. I mean, most of the people who would see X3 right away would be fans of the series (movie/comic), which would have to make up the majority of the moviegoers...The numbers up until the second weekend speak for themselves..

Again, I don't see what the budget or "The Beak-Up" has to do with anything...A movie doesn't need a remarkable budget to make up for it's popularity at the box office...

Well, in a manner of speaking, yes. Thus far, X2 has better legs than The Last Stand. X2 earned 39% of its total domestic gross during its opening weekend, while the other 61% was earned subsequently . . . which is pretty good considering X2 was the first summer movie released in 2003 and later went head to head with the first highly anticipated sequel to The Matrix . . . not to mention insanely popular movies such as Bruce Almighty, Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Caribbean (each of these three films easily earned more than the top grossing movie of 2006—pretty good competition) as well as Bad Boys 2, Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle, Hulk, Terminator 3, The Last Samurai, etc. (and although these last five movies aren’t considered major box office successes, they are still competition vying for moviegoers’ dollars—not to mention, with the exception of the Da Vinci Code and Over the Hedge, each of them earned almost as much, if not more, than 2006’s only seemingly other financially well-received summer movies, Cars and Mission Impossible 3).

Again, this is not to say that The Last Stand isn’t holding its own, but I would have to say thus far it doesn’t quite have the competition felt by X2, especially since X2 was the first summer movie released during the summer of 2003 and was consequently forced to go up against every other potential blockbuster released thereafter . . . but we have yet to feel the impact of Superman Returns and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, so who knows where The Last Stand will ultimately fall amongst increased competition.

Haha . . . and as for Titanic, that's not a fair comparison for any movie in recent years to go up against.

 

[tkenji69]

So X3 doesnt get to have legs because it made more of its money on the opening weekend???? I want legs dammit

Never judge a book by it's cover. That picture was taken 10 years ago, before Wallace Theaters took it over. When it was a hole in the wall. They have done work to the exterior, and interior. It's a fully functunal theater. It has everything any other theater has. It's clean, well lit, the sound is as good as any, the seats are comfortable. they recline. It doesn't look as fancy as the Norstar 14, but then again like I said, the compay owns both theaters. If your ever in the area, check it out, you'll be plesently surprised.

Numbers are in for Friday...

$1,312,000, a drop of 38%...

[Pickle-El]

Critics. LOL. Take their collective brains, put it in a bird, and the bird would fly backwards. The public will decide if this movie is suscufull. Word of mouth, and viewers reviews. Word of mouth will be huge in determing the suscess of this movie. So far looks like another 50 % drop for X3 this week.

Thing, you have some of the best one-liners on the Hype.

 

[phantom47]

1,350,000 per BOM when actuals come in it will probably be 1,500,000 +57.5% the biggest increase in the top 12

 

[danoyse]

They are still blockbusters she starred in. She had the title role in former.

And second billing.

But I thought The Break-Up was a blockbuster because of . . . VAUGHNISTON!

Well, now you know it exists.

I'm not embarrassed at all, I'm happy.

And yes, Rothman and co., all they did was spin a web of misleading direction in regards to X-men 3.

If that makes you happy, I'd hate to see what makes you mad.

ok back to X3 and not really...but how do you think Click is gonna debut? imo...this looks like his worst one yet....but everytime i say that...I end up sorta like-ing them. Do you think X3 will be outa the top ten?

Not sure if Adam Sandler still has the box office power he did before...but the movie's been advertisted to death, so it will probably do well this weekend.

X3...eh, it's been out awhile now. Although I did see it again on Thursday night and it was still decently crowded.

 

[Amm-arD]

is the last scene of the whole film Magneto trying to move the chess piece or is there a scene after the credits as well??

 

[GL's Light]

Judging by the Friday estimates, X3 will have its first drop of less than 50%, Click is headed for an opening in the low to mid 40's, and Cars is on track for an excellent hold with a likely mid-20's take - it's looking very strong to make it passed the $ 200 million domestic mark.

 

[Fanticon]

hmm...x3 is still fighting off davinci code and doing a good job at it...i did think that it would atleast pass garfield and nab the number 8 spot in the top 10.
Click was expected to be adam sandlers biggest hit? some sites were predicting a 50m opening...40's not bad but...again the movie just looked bad.
