That's too bad, I was really hoping "The Great Gatsby" would tank, because the last thing we need to do as a society is to encourage Baz Luhrmann. I think another interesting thing is Tyler Perry's movie didn't do as well at the box office. Which would suggest to me people only go to see Madea.

His movie earlier this year Temptation, a Perry written and directed movie, was one of his higher box office films. He only produced Peebles and I think so much of his audience is word of mouth, they learned that and didn't go. This is the softest Opening weekend for a Tyler Perry bannered movie in years and by a lot.

Perhaps a better hypothesis would be that Tyler Perry movies that he doesn't direct/write tend to do poorly.

Me neither but I remembered Temptation had like 20 million opening and he's had quite a few, maybe half his movies opened over 20. Peebles is in fact the first that didn't open in double digits.

3-day total for Hangover 3: $26,319,000 1-day total for Fast & Furious 6: $38,000,000
Here I was expecting there to be a huge battle between Hangover 3 & Fast/Furious 6. Part III is gonna get killed.

Same here. But I guess the negative reviews (most headlines seem to say "why was this even made?") are really taking its toll. Is this like a Matrix-esque collapse for the Hangover trilogy (1st 2 did well/extremely well, 3rd was WAY off and lower in box office)?

This has to be some kind of record for overall highest weekly box office top 10 combined gross

People were already burned with the 2nd one being a rehash of the 1st, except in a different place, not as funny, and Alan was not likable. Whereas Fast & Furious 6, is coming off the best movie in the series. Another thing that can't be overlooked is The Rock, the guy's a bigger star/draw than anyone in Hangover part 3.

It's amazing how most of the reviews are complaining they stayed away from the formula. I believe Hangover 3 will be more immensely popular with the crowds than crotocs

Wow. Hangover 3 didn't even come close to making it's budget back the opening weekend. Almost seemed like a sure thing. I have to wonder what their expectations were. Putting it against Fast 6 could be a sign that they didn't think it was going to perform as well.

It would of done better if it opened last week against The Great Gatsby or even Star Trek since both films have different fanbases

Boy I will never understand why the Fast and Furious does so well. Hot dudes, hot chicks, badass looking cars, kickass(if not highly improbable in regular life) stunts. It basically has all the things any popcorn action flick series needs to succeed, but on top of that it adds in that street racing fan base and the kind of culture that goes with it(such as the music and stuff).

Honestly, I feel the fan base just didn't want Hangover 3 that badly. My tiny sample size, one person, when I told her there would be a 3rd last year she thought I was lying and when it was real she wondered why would there be a 3rd. Recently I asked if she'll watch it and she said maybe on TV.

It should tell you something about M. Night's movies when one with Will Smith will bomb.

It shouldn't be that surprising, Smith bought his son a movie and seemed to resolve to be as unlikable as he could in it.
Jaden Smith is at that awkward age where he can't do the cute kid act, but hasn't quite matured enough to be a believable adult actor. He's at the worst age to try to play an action hero.
Shyamalan's name is mud now, slapping it on this movie is a detriment.

After Earth just did 9 million yesterday So did everything else (and not much more).......but point def. taken. I reckon AE was supposed to be a lot bigger than this, now it's the summer's first bomb (with HANGOVER being the 1st disappointment, I guess). Chances are NOW YOU CAN SEE ME, which I thought was gonna a lot of good hype months back, will be a bigger hit. Good for them. PS: SMILE, JADEN. ..........well, ok, maybe not so much with these numbers out there. But maybe being less frumpy woulda made you and dad more money.
