[BRDSM] low 20s [PRIEST] slightly higher low 20s [PIRT4] 100 million [HNOV2] mid-to-high 80s 5 day [PAND2] 120 mil 5 day {nm}.

I am really suprised that tracking on Priest has been this strong considering I haven't heard anything positive about it, but this is RS afterall and I will take it with a gran of salt.

I'm sure some of the futures will be wrong, but all of these are looking solid - particularly KFP2.

In Priest's defense, it has a fairly sharp trailer (as far as this type of movie goes). And the trailer has been playing in front of loads of movies for months. It could bring in a solid percentage of the Resident Evil-y crowd.

True and some of my friends do want to see it, but I just can't get over of how all the signs point it to being another Sucker Punch. It has really low twitter activity and yet it's still tracking high on RS.

Really? I think the trailer sucks. But the people I saw Battle: LA with thought it looked good when they showed the trailer. I really won't be surprised by a 20 Million opening.

Same exact thing happend to me. When I saw Battle:LA that was the first time I saw the trailer in theatres and right after one of my friends says" I have to see that". I seriously don't get the mass appeal eventhough I do have mad respect for Paul Bettany and Karl Urban is pretty damn awesome aswell. It's just that this movie really doesn't look that good at all cmon it's from the director of Legion.

Legion was terrible, indeed. Not sure what happened to Bettany after Master and Commander. His wife's career has nosedived, too.

That's the same thing that happened to me. So I guess some people will see it :P.

Post Re: May 6-8 Predictions
You know the sad thing is it's the same group of friends that suckered me into seeing Legion in theatres last year which I will admit I thought looked kinda fun in a really campy, stupid way, but I had no intention of seeing it in theatres. That ain't happening again and hopefully if everything goes right this week we will be seeing THOR this weekend instead.

With movies like Priest tend to get 90% of their gross from 3D (see Resident Evil and Pirahna 3D), a characteristically slick ad campaign by Sony, MUCH cooler visuals than Legion, and a nice open weekend in the beginning of the summer I see no reason why Legion can't scrounge up over 20 million.

Is Future RS actually based on any tangible data, or is it strictly their guess?

Thor - 50

Just not seeing the wide appeal + expecting some fast5 carryover to have an impact on the Thor audience

After a crazy week, we're taking a breather this week with all three openers not expecting to deviate much from the range.

Warner are having a real meh year.

Not that I expected Something Borrowed to do anything but with that tracking it could yet go under 10 and it has a 0% currently.

Sucker Punch though expected by many, flopped, so did Red Riding Hood, both which were supposed to be new original takes.

Either than those they had Hall Pass which was not a comeback for the Farelly Bros, Unknown which was no Taken, but is WBs highest grossing film so far and both Rite, which lost money domestically but did surprisingly well overseas and Arthur which will also lose money domestically.

Well WB still has Potter, Hangover 2, and Lantern so they should be okay.

I can't see Something Borrowed going below 11 Million. Not with Mother's Day. There needs to be a female movie for them to get behind on this weekend.

As for WB, Crazy, Stupid, Love will probably do 80 Million, so that will help a bit.

It was almost deadly on but so was twitter, apparently F5 was just an easy movie to track.

Exactly. If they don't know how to behave, and feel OK offending others, they get their ass kicked, so they'll think next time before opening their rotten mouths.

This is already selling out weekend showings at a theatre I go to:



It's a religious movie, though one from a fairly acclaimed filmmaker. Hardly Fireproof.

That's probably looking at at least 200 theaters this weekend. It's from the same studio as Fireproof (Opened in 839 theaters), To Save A Life (Opened in 441 theaters), and The Grace Card (Opened in 352 theaters).
