1 The Purge (2013) $36.4M $36.4M 1 2 Fast & Furious 6 (2013) $19.8M $203M 3 3 Now You See Me (2013) $19.5M $61.4M 2 4 The Internship (2013) $18.1M $18.1M 1 5 Epic (2013) $12.1M $84.2M 3 6 Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) $11.7M $200M 4 7 After Earth (2013) $11.2M $46.6M 2 8 The Hangover Part III (2013) $7.38M $102M 3 9 Iron Man 3 (2013) $5.79M $394M 6 10 The Great Gatsby (2013) $4.23M $136M 5 Awesome to see Fast 6 get number 2. It is a fun movie, with an amazing set-up for the sequel. I'm not kidding it caused me to say "Oh f*** yeah." And I think it's safe to classify Hangover III as a disappointment. It was the best post credits sequence ever committed to film. I include the Avengers movies.

Can't say I expected the critics to like This is The End and World War Z more than they like Man of Steel. Interesting.

I expected "This is the End" to be well-received. It appears to be genuinely funny.

Saw "This is The End" today. It was alright. About what I expected. Several funny moments with lots of instances of trying to hard for shock value.
Seeing "Man of Steel" tomorrow. I must say that I expected a stronger score on RT, but I still think it will be good.

We can't possibly have ANOTHER Superman Returns, can we?

We can't possibly have ANOTHER Superman Returns, can we? I was thinking Man of Steel will be another Green Lantern. Like GL it has: -huge budget -massive marketing campaign -good theatrical trailer but poor TV commercials -bad reviews I doubt it will make the expected $100 million opening weekend and even if it does, that seems poor for a movie with a $225 million budget with a huge amount of advertising. Superman Returns at least had positive critical reviews.

The Purge' plummeted 83% on Friday, which is about on par with 'The Devil Inside' (84%)
Friday Estimates: 'Man of Steel' - $44.05M, 'This is the End' - $6.85M, 'Now You See Me' - $3.29M

They've got to be disappointed with that number for Man of Steel.

They've got to be disappointed with that number for Man of Steel. It made 75 million overseas. So its at 196 million at the moment. The budget was 225 million. Chances are it could double that. They did invest too much IMO though.

They've got to be disappointed with that number for Man of Steel. Yeah, biggest June opening of all-time. I'm sure they are really crying themselves to sleep over it.

Not bad for the 5th movie of a tired franchise/brand that has a mostly bad history.

It missed the forecast amount by quite a bit, and is like $70 million off Iron Man 3's opening, but I doubt they are going to be that upset with that much plus the overseas

Why is Now You See Me doing so well!?
Shouldn't word of mouth have killed it by now?

They've got to be disappointed with that number for Man of Steel. Unlike IRON MAN 3 several weeks back, that's a known property. This, beyond the historical sense, was not. New director, new direction, new attitude, etc.... WB projected $125mil I believe. This beat it by a few million. It is DC's 3rd biggest movie opening ever - behind DARK KNIGHT and DARK KNIGHT RISES - and MOS is the 2nd highest grossing (unadjusted) superhero origin movie ever - behind SPIDER-MAN (beat the 1st IRON MAN by $15mil.....and jeez, BATMAN BEGINS' opening weekend was only $48mil). .....although, looking at the unadjusted box office list of Superman openings, MOS was next to last - only beating out SUPERMAN IV. Huh.

WWZ looks like it'll do much better than I thought it would.

As the ads have become more prevalent on television, I can't help but shake this feeling that "Pacific Rim" is going to be a colossal flop domestically. It's an original idea, but it has no star power. I think it'll make up its money on the international markets, because the story of robots fighting monsters translates to any language, but I think it's going to tank in the states.
Granted, I said the exact same thing about "Avatar", so what do I know.
