Post Re: Early Friday Numbers
The Expendables 3 is looking at narrowly beating the adjusted opening weekend's of Assassins, Driven and Daylight. ($17.5m, $17.5m, $18.5m)

It seems to have no chance of beating Cop Land ($24m).

These are all fairly low-grossing Stallone films too. :(

As much as I hate to say it at this point I think it's time for Sly/Arnold to just move away from the action genre for a while. We keep talking about EX4, but honestly I think it's pretty pointless to add bigger names if each film is going to drastically decrease domestically.

They had their chance a long time ago to add Rock, Diesel/Neeson, but blew it and I don't see any of them really caring for the franchise anymore when they can make more money doing solo projects and obviously getting paid much better.

Well, every movie leak is an inside job. People don't break into movie studios and empty the vault. In fact, I feel it was something to do with the Russians. I'm hearing a lot of Russian-dubbed remarks.

Those pesky Russians.

If the domestic audience was their priority, I would agree with you, but it's clearly not. I mean, the World Premiere for TE3 was held in London, not the US, and their films are becoming MUCH more successful overseas anyway. I think they can and should stick with the action genre, but they should just make more serious and well-crafted films where perhaps they are not the main attraction.

But yes, this makes total sense. I mean, if adding Ford, Gibson, Snipes, Banderas etc. cannot secure a higher domestic gross, then there is no point in continuing.

I'm glad Expendables is flopping. The first was such shit and they decided to make a second and now third using the same crap formula.

True. Arnold should do a comedy again.

It's funny that TMNT will probably get #1 for two weeks over Guardians, the biggest movie of the summer. LOL

Unfortunately, if those numbers hold for Turtles and Guardians, Guardians would have to have a remarkable Saturday and Sunday to overtake Turtles. It's not impossible, but I kind of doubt it will happen.

Does that EX3 number include the 0.8 in Thursday night previews? So, OD is really 4.8-5.2?

Maybe Putin was upset that Sly has still not offered him a role.

Although there's also a slim outside chance that Guardians jumps back to #1 next weekend, if TMNT falls furhter and the openers underwhelm.

Kind of reminds me of 2001, where American Pie 2 beat Rush Hour 2 three weekends in a row, despite the latter having a much higher final gross. Or xXx vs Signs the next year.
