Does anyone know if the standings are finally accurate now? I know they've been messed up, but they were working on it.

Yes Brockster.

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/12
She's Out Of My League will flop. No stars are in it (Jay Baruchel is still a supporting actor at this point), it's been on the shelf for over a year, the bromance genre is a joke (it's pretty much just like every other teen guy movie, no reason to distinguish it apart from those movies) and the trailer is pretty bad (I get turned off when the line about the "plane doctor" comes up). Its target audience will wait for Hot Tub Time Machine.
Also, hasn't the whole "can a 10 go for a 5" plot been done before?

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/12
I think SOoML will be a mid-level hit, opening in mid teens and crawling to about $40 mil until Hot Tub Time Machine turns up.

It would be one thing if it looked funny...but it doesn't,and it doesn't have any bankable stars to carry it...it has FLOP written all over it.

WOM will be tremendous, no matter what it opens to.

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/12
So, will it be like Superbad (good word of mouth and good box office) or Sex Drive (good word of mouth and bad box office)?

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/12
Wrong time of year for Knocked Up kind of success I would bet. It may do ok though. Wouldn't suggest anything over $40m gross.

Well, I doubt itll break out like Superbad, but it won't do nearly as bad as Sex Drive.Buscemi wrote:So, will it be like Superbad (good word of mouth and good box office) or Sex Drive (good word of mouth and bad box office)?
I think it'll be like the other spring R-rated comedies (ILYM and Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Somewhere around 17/70.

That's a pretty great hold for Alice, 6th highest 2nd weekend ever. Should have no problem ending up around $300M

Re: SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/12
How To Train Your Dragon will probably hurt it a bit, taking just about all its IMAX and a good chunk of 3D sites.

Yeah I see Alice making about 275 in the end, but even that is exceptional! Glad I have it in most slates.
This week's results shows that any film regarding Iraq will never be a box office success. Even The Hurt Locker only made about 15 mil. It'll be interesting to see what kind of legs She's Out of my League will have, if any.
