These look more like predictions than actual numbers to me.

It's entirely possible that it does. But still, Taken 2 opened to $49.5m, Non-Stop to $28.8m....is a $16m opening for Tombstones really that great for Neeson? Within 2 years he's gone from top action guy to boring action-thriller guy. Living on the popularity and awesomeness of Taken only lasts so long before audiences need something different.

It's not an action thriller. It's a dark mystery.

And no, it is nothing like Taken. He doesn't kick ass (In fact he gets it handed to him.)

There are a lot of titles this year and last with annoyingly unmemorable titles (and for me, they all seem similar), such as:

This Is Where I Leave You
And So It Goes
Wish I Was Here

These are just movies that I see the title to and don't have enough patience or care to explore the film, its story, stars or anything about it. There are more titles like this than the three I listed, but I've forgotten them.

And despite your generally incorrect opinions about box office and action movies

After what were soft matinees today, the sci-fi action thriller The Maze Runner took off this evening and is expected to chase in an estimated $11M today (that includes the $1.1M from last night) for a three-day weekend gross of around $30M to $32M. Saturday should be another decent moviegoing night for this YA picture which stars MTV’s Teen Wolf himself, Dylan O’Brien. It also got an A- CinemaScore from its core audience which should give a nice multiple.
