I think $60 million is a little excessive. Maybe even $50 is, too, but comparing it to The Grudge, I see what you guys are saying.
Eek.
I'd say $45-50 million at the moment.

If it makes less then 40 million:
Gastu will make a thread asking if its a flop, and if horror films are dead.
(hes already asking if cgis are dead due to robots opening day)

I'm saying i wont be disappointed by that. Its april and as good as it may look to people, i still maintain that this is an unneeded sequel and carries the possibility of being a complete rehash of the old one. Remember that the Ring had something going for it .. a pretty cool thing which will now be lost on us as we've already been introduced to it. It could pull a Jason Bourne or an Ocean's 11. can go both ways. Either way, its outgrossing Amityville _________________http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer.. Get used to this

And I look forward to Ring 2 pulling a $50 million+ opening weekend, and your numerous posts saying it'll drop 70%+ in week two.

People arent predicting 50+ because its PG-13, they're predicting 50+ because its The Ring.

I'll tell ya what though B. I know you'll have all those signature things going with The Amityville Horror, but I'll challenge ya right now. On March 20th when the weekend estimates for The Ring Two are out, if it's below 40 million I'll put whatever you want in my signature until April 15th. Anything, you name it. I'll tell ya what, if it makes 40-45 million, neither of us have to do anything. But if it makes over 45 million, you'll put whatever I want in your signature up until April 15th when The Amityville Horror opens and you have all those other signature things to deal with. Sound fair? _________________http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer.. Get used to this

So you expect screenings two weeks in advance, a la Return of the King and the Prisoner of Azkaban? I guarantee you it's being screened to the press, as I have my pass for this Tuesday.

Oh please. Spider-Man 2 didn't even screen to the press until two days before opening. I take it that wasn't expected to be popular?
BKB_The_Man wrote: Impact wrote: Watch BKB love the Ring more then Amityville. That explains a lot, at least in terms of the film series. Each and every one of the Amityville films has either be dull (Amityville Horror) or flat-out terrible (just about every sequel thereafter).

Na Impact, if BKB wants to see a movie or thinks it'll make a lot of money, he loves it no matter what, it doesn't matter. Same with if he hates it. Has he ever changed his mind on something like that?
