So it wasn't like it got its ass kicked or it had a Scott Pilgrim reception. Those three films basically split the majority of the bucks this weekend. There is also always hope it'll gain a strong word of mouth like Now You See Me did and next week isn't strong with Turbo, RIPD, Red 2, and The Conjuring.

So, stupid question here, but I don't really follow box office numbers...
What about the international reception? According to Box Office Mojo, factoring in "Pacific Rim"'s worldwide gross the total is $91,300,000. Would this be a good thing?

Would this be a good thing? That's under half the film's budget and that's not counting its marketing budget. It'll need to break $200+ million to hope to profit.

So it wasn't like it got its ass kicked or it had a Scott Pilgrim reception. Those three films basically split the majority of the bucks this weekend. What's sad is that the articles I'm seeing are saying that GU2 "pummeled" PR. $4mil is not pummeling - hell, until I saw this list I didn't even know DM2 won the weekend. Foolish headline writing out there may do more harm than not to PACIFIC RIM...

So what you're saying is another week with Despicable Me 2 atop the box office?

Pacific Rim is not going to have some magical rebound to the top of the box office next week. I remember the exact same thing being said after Scott Pilgrim bombed. "Oh, don't worry! Word of mouth is gonna keep it in the top 5 for weeks to come!" That morphs into "DVD sales will be great, right?"
My predictions
1. RED 2 2. Despicable Me 2 3. RIPD 4. Turbo 5. Grown Ups 2
May be shuffled a bit but I expect those 5 to be there.

I am a little amazed that Despicable Me 2 has been as strong as it is. I was expecting it to do good, just not this good.

RIPD looks like fun, but how many people won't be turned away by it essentially being a paranormal MIB?

Sure it doesn't have Big Willie but it's been advertised like crazy everywhere so I expect it to atleast make the top 3. If it doesn't.....hoo boy. Ryan Reynolds might as well call it a career.

That's the thing though, while people like MIB part of its success was Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, sure Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds have their fans(I personally am a fan of both), but is Jeff a box office draw? Cause Ryan sure as hell isn't really one.....

PR fell 60% sunday to Monday. Is it that rare to fall a lot from a weekend to a weekday showing? I know Sunday isn't the most active weekend day, but it's still a weekend.

Ryan Reynolds can still draw.....when he's doing romcoms(and apparently animated films with the projection for Turbo).
But action films/comic book films? Nope, he bombs every. Single. Time. Unfortunately this might mean the Deadpool film won't get made now, at least with Reynolds(who is a good casting choice for Pool).....

Well if they make the movie for 30-50 million bucks it can still be done and will make back its money. Like some of the best visual effects of a movie I've seen this decade are micro blockbusters

Every friend I talk to about it they all said it reminds them of MIB I think just about everyone thinks that really. I wouldn't be shocked if that was how the film was even pitched in the first place. "Hey you guys know that Men in Black series that made a lot of money? Well this is just like that, but with zombies, ghosts, and monsters instead of aliens!" "Here's $130 million."

Speaking of MIB how well would that series do without Will Smith Now not so well since that's probably his most famous character outside of Will Smith in Fresh Prince. In 1997 who knows
