SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 5/26/11, 5/27/11

[numbersix]

Well The Hangover 2 is more of a night/couples/gang of buddies movie than something you'd watch in an afternoon.

5 points - Hangover 2, $86.5M ($118.1M total)

wow, even with a 4x multiplier (which the first one almost did), KFP2 will barely get to $200M

[Shrykespeare]

I don't think it'll get there. It might have good legs for four weeks, but then Cars 2 will take all of its remaining audience away... and likely keep it.

[Chienfantome]

I'm baffled by Kung Fu Panda 2 numbers. I can't believe it.

I know everyone has already said this, but I am shocked at KFP2's numbers. Tuesday numbers just came out and it had a steeper drop than Hangover 2...unbelievable.

[silversurfer19]

I would have expected that though. It will be more interesting to see how it holds up next weekend. Big shock though, considering the good feedback the first one had. Glad I didn't pick it for the Full Year draft, but a few of my ULT slates will suffer from it.

I'm certainly happy I grabbed Hangover II in the first round.
