 February 20-22 predictions Another big weekend? Hope so!  Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail - 32M Fired Up - 15.5M (lower than expected theater count; hopefully it goes up fairly substantially. I may have the opportunity to see this early as my school is giving away free tickets starting Monday).

Re: February 20-22 predictions Free tickets? Why would they sponsor it?
Also, Madea will not be able to get that high.

Re: February 20-22 predictions How many tickets do they give out?
Also, was the WOM for The International good in your school?

Re: February 20-22 predictions It's a promotion for most midsized to major cities across America BK. If you look through the local papers at the start of the week, you'll see information for how to get early passes for weekend movies.

Re: February 20-22 predictions We will have another huge weekend thanks to a record President's Day Weekend... Madea will open to about 25 million, Fired Up will open with another 10. Even though Friday the 13th will fall off the face of the earth, Taken, Coraline, He's Just Not That Into will all hold really well, and Slumdog Millionare might even increase some with people wanting to catch it before the Oscars on Sunday and also with what should be a lot of press for it during the week.

Re: February 20-22 predictions I think the next Tyler Perry movie will perform on the higher end for the series because the audience has been underserved at the box office for month now with only Not Easily Broken ($10.6 m) and Notorious ($36.4 m so far). I think it will get the 2nd best opening for the franchise, and do $25 - 28 m.

Re: February 20-22 predictions Madea Goes to Jail- 28m (has 20 built in being tyler perry comedy, madea adds another 5, adds another 5, and this has the best trailer fo a Madea film.)
Fired Up- 6.5m (absolute crap, and have not heard much here, a little buzz from some black cheerleader types, but they will probably pick Madea over this.)

Don't forget this is the first one that prominently features Madea in the campaign since Family Reunion, which could widen the overall appeal, and make for another $30 million opening.

I was just about to say I'm surprised nobody is expecting these to get knocked out of the park. _________________Mr. R wrote: Malcolm wrote: You seem to think threatening violence against people is perfectly okay because you feel offended by their words, so that's kind of telling in itself.

Re: February 20-22 predictions Even though each weekend keeps killing us, we can't simply throw out numbers.
It's not wise to get disappointed if Madea doesn't get 30m OW if it never had the chance.
Obviously Madea is expected 30m, but it was just an example.
I think that Madea will finish above 50m though, I'm not sure what other Perry movies have managed, I know they had terrible multipliers.
AND if Madea does, we can only hope Underworld manages it to have all weekends having a 50m grosser so far.
ps my Jonas + Hannah group looks dead in the water now seeing that everything is breaking out. Jonas will obviously get above 50 now, HM is at least guaranteed 40m.

Re: February 20-22 predictions Quote: RS 2/20 (no MTC today due to holiday)
-- notfabio, Feb 16, 13:11
MADEA: Between 21-24
FIRED UP: Between 6-9
Future:
Last House On The Left: Between 10-12
Race to Witch Mountain: Low 40's (Oddly enough they remark how dubious they are of their own number, but interest kids 6-12 is very strong and teen/adult females is actually much better than males)
Watchmen: Mid 40's
Street Fighter: Between 6-9
Jonas: High 20's
Im boggled by the high numbers for Race to Witch Mountain. It looks like those Spy Kid movies

Re: February 20-22 predictions I've never seen a Madea movie, but I'm planning on checking this one out over the weekend. Looks funny.

Im boggled by the high numbers for Race to Witch Mountain. It looks like those Spy Kid movies The lowest of which grossed $86M, so what's so boggling? Low 40s sounds too high but I don't see why it couldn't open in the mid-to-high 30s range.

RS 22.5 est vs MTC 32 It should, but it's no guarantee since the difference is under 50%, but it's still a big difference and a great sign, if it follows the rule (while not quite as significant enough of a difference I dont feel) it would probably end up in the high 30's. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.
