 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.

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
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.

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.

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
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.

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

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
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.

lol go Let's Be Cops if it gets over Expendables. Does that EX3 number include the 0.8 in Thursday night previews? So, OD is really 4.8-5.2?

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.
