Glad to see Knocked up doing well. Great movie. Too bad for Pirates looks like a drop, I loved that one too. I think having 3 big movies coming out is gonna hurt them domestically. The movies dont have time to breath. they are competing with a big movie every week almost. None have been flops or anything, but if they spaced these movies out more, maybe if they released Shrek and pirates apart further it would of benifited both. you have 2 big family flicks competing, 3 if you count Spidey. Pirates is doing excellent worldwide though.

Yeah, Knocked Up appears to be headed towards a $30 million opening. Not bad for a R-rated comedy with no major leads. The 40-Year-Old Virgin only had a $21 million opening. Knocked Up's production budget is also only $30 million.

They've been hyping Knocked Up like it's the biggest movie of the year. I'm pretty sure I've seen the commercial for it on TV over the last month more than Shrek 3, Pirates 3, and Spider-Man 3 combined. Also, it's pretty much the same length as Spider-Man 3, at 2 hours 9 minutes long.

What you see and what is reality are two different things altogether. Remember. For Pirates and Shrek they automatically get more hype with children's toy's, happy meals and other product placement. And you can't tell me that you've seen more ads for Knocked up than you have for either shrek or Pirates. Let alone toss in Spider-man 3.
Shit. look at batteries. You have a shrek head right in your face. Spider-man products everywhere.
The one thing that Knocked up has going for it is that the 40 year old virgin was huge and had excellent legs. Tag on the line that this is from the same folks and you got yourself what happened with Austin Powers. Rentals and the home market for 40 year old was enough reason for folks to want to see this.
It will have great legs.

Oh, I'm not saying that Knocked Up had more hype than Pirates, Shrek, or Spider-Man. I'm just saying, this isn't like some indie film that no one's ever heard that suddenly rocketed up the charts. They've basically positioned this movie to be this year's Wedding Crashers or 40 Year Old Virgin or There's Something About Mary, aka The One R-Rated Comedy of the Summer That Rakes in $100-200 Million.

And I'll disagree with that when you have Spider-man, Pirates, Shrek, Harry Potter and a slew of other films.
Yeah, Knocked up was the hyped R rated comedy of the year. But your words never stated that in the original post.
Followed by this:
I'm pretty sure I've seen the commercial for it on TV over the last month more than Shrek 3, Pirates 3, and Spider-Man 3 combined.
Again, that is a silly statement when you have the mass amounts of marketing for any of those other films you listed. A more correct statement would be it was a heavily hyped R-rated comedy of the last two or three weeks. Then again, every movie gets a push in their advertisements the two weeks prior to release.

I just meant hyped up by the studio based on the number of TV spots I've seen for it. Obviously, sequels have built-in hype based on the previous movies. And obviously the Big 3 have more marketing cross-over potential, like videogames and books and crap. I have seen the Spider-Man/Burger King commercial alot.

What can I say, I've seen the TV spots for the Big 3 a about 3 or 4 times each, and seen a TV spot for Knocked Up at least once a day for the last two or three weeks, or at least that's what it seems like, I'm not keeping a perfect count. Maybe I just watch different shows than everyone else, but anyway, basically what I was trying to get at originally but didn't quite get across was that I don't really see this as a victory over Hollywood blockbusters, when I think Hollywood was already expecting blockbuster status for this movie.

Projections for this film were in the high teens. They figured that without a big star in the role with Carrell not being in this that it would get around 17-18.
By Brian Fuson
June 1, 2007
After a month of high-octane, A-list tentpoles, the North American boxoffice gets a breather of sorts this session as not one sequel enters the marketplace. It will be a brief respite, however, as Warner Bros. Pictures' "Ocean's Thirteen" hits theaters June 8.
Theater counts for the weekend's new films are coming down to earth; not one of the frame's three new wide releases will be in more than 3,000 locations. It's a far cry from the unprecedented heights of the past four weeks, when the top films were playing in or opened in more than 4,000 theaters apiece.
Overall, Buena Vista Pictures' "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" will hold on to the top spot, followed by Paramount Pictures' "Shrek the Third" from DreamWorks Animation. The new wide opener "Knocked Up" from Universal Pictures most likely will finish third, ahead of Sony Pictures' "Spider-Man 3."
"Knocked Up" arrives in 2,871 theaters as an alternative to the plethora of sequels nationwide and in Canada. The film is written and directed by Judd Apatow, who also directed Universal's "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and was a producer on Sony Pictures' "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and Universal's "Kicking & Screaming."
"Virgin" opened in August 2005 to a respectable $21.4 million, found its legs and went on to generate $109.2 million by the time it left theaters in December -- a nice run, especially by today's standards. "Virgin" also was an R-rated film that appealed to a demographic similar to the one "Knocked Up" is eyeing.
Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl (ABC's "Grey's Anatomy") star in the romantic comedy, which centers on an up-and-coming entertainment journalist (Heigl) who becomes pregnant after a drunken one-night stand with a lovable slacker (Rogen). She decides to give him a chance, and he faces the question of whether he will hit the road or stay with the mom-to-be.
"Knocked Up" will appeal largely to males and females in the 18-34 demo but could find a wider audience as early polling has found interest across the board.
Industry observers think the film should open in the high-teen millions. The distributor is hoping the film has legs along the lines of "Virgin."
MGM's "Mr. Brooks," a crime drama about the destructive path of a violent serial killer (Kevin Costner), debuts in 2,453 theaters this weekend. The R-rated feature, co-starring William Hurt and Demi Moore and directed by Bruce A. Evans, is expected to arrive at the boxoffice in the $10 million range.
The only other wide release is Picturehouse's "Gracie," which bows in 1,164 theaters. The film, inspired by a true story, is set in the 1970s and centers on a teenage girl who fights to play on the boys' varsity soccer team after the tragic death of her soccer champion brother. She ultimately wins the right for girls everywhere to play.
Elisabeth Shue, Dermot Mulroney and Carly Schroeder star in the family-friendly inspirational sports drama. The PG-13 film is directed by Davis Guggenheim.
More specialized fare is hoping to cash in this weekend as a host of limited releases hit theaters.
IDP/Destination Films/Samuel Goldwyn Films' "Rise: Blood Hunter" will be in 25 theaters; Fox Searchlight's "Day Watch" will be in five locations; Magnolia Pictures' "Crazy Love" will have three engagements; IFC First Take's "Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman" will unspool in three houses; and Palm Pictures' "Ten Canoes" will be in limited release in New York.
Box office mojo was projecting around 22 million
http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/column/index.cfm?columnID=10067&cmin=10&columnpage=1
So even if it was hyped up making more than 40 year old virgin's first weekend of 21 million is great news. Who said it was some sort of knock on Blockbusters? This is just a good example of a well accepted film by reviewers going over well with the masses.
Hell, just look at the freshness level of this on rotten tomatoes. Lets see any of the block busters so far get that good of a rating.

Still, it's doing just fine. So are the blockbusters. Not sure where the argument lies anymore. I don't think there should be one.
Jackskeleton
06-03-07, 03:06 AM
I suppose the only answer to that would be
Quality /= $$$$
The argument was that this wasn't anything special and was expected. But the film was estimated to only do slightly below what 40 year old did and so far it's expecting to make a good 8 million more than that WITHOUT any major actors. That's not something to dismiss so easily.
Disturbia is still in the top 10. WOW. Can't wait to see what Apatow does next.

That's nothing new. There was an elderly couple at a sneak preview of American Pie when that first hit theaters and they enjoyed it just as much as the 20-somethings.

I think older people can deal with the language, but I think they want something besides all the blowing up and mindless action and arent going to see Shrek, so thats probably why they are going to see Knocked Up.

Knocked Up: 92%
Shrek 3: 41%
Spider-Man 3: 61%
Pirates of the Caribbean: 48%
41% + 61% + 48% = 150%
Using that logic, an amalgamation of three would, theoretically, generate a movie capable of being tested at 150%. No movie, in the history of cinema, has ever accomplished such a spurious and fantastical feat.

It just means more people saw and liked DMC than they did the other movies.
I'm avoiding AWE due to my disdane for DMC, as is most of the group of about 14 people I saw DMC with. Pretty common with the concluding portion of a trilogy, not everything is lucky enough to be Return of the King.

AWE will be a big success no doubt, but it probably wouldn't have been a bad idea for Disney to have tried and release AWE around the holidays this year. It would have given a 1 1/2 break between AWE and DMC, and also it wouldn't have had to deal with Shrek and Spidey in the picture. Last Summer, DMC had no competition whatsoever. That was the only event film that people wanted to see.

I was actually quite surprised that AWE made it out for this summer. I read that they only had about 1/3 of it shot as of last summer, and figured if they waited until X-Mas people would be more anxious. Furthermore, at X-Mas it most likely could have had some staying power for some weeks as little comes out after the holiday boom.
I also think they should have waited until around the same time release it this year as last year, or a time period with no real competition lined up after it or before it.

Don't be so literal about it, it was more of a subjective thing. Considering how "entertained" I was coming out of Shrek 3 (not at all), Spidey 3 (really annoyed and disappointed), and Pirates 3 (mildly entertained but worn the fuck OUT), add up all that "enjoyment" on some kind of scale and it still wouldn't match how much I really loved KNOCKED UP.

1. Ocean's Thirteen: $42 million

4. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: $20 million

6. Shrek the Third: $13 million
7. Mr. Brooks: $5 million
8. Spider-man 3: $3.5 million
9. Waitress: $1.5 million
Pirates will lose a lot of it's legs due to more teen and adult oriented films being released (the big one being Ocean's Thirteen) and Shrek's audience is going to be all but gone with Surf's Up being released.
I think Hostel will honestly open up to $20 million numbers, but it's going to drop hard the week after with it's mostly male audience not returning and going to see Fantastic Four next week.

But seriously, why is the summertime considered a bad time for horror releases?
The audience isn't there and most don't have the time, money, and/or resources to compete with the juggernauts of the summer. The main demographic for horror films are young adult men, who usually tend to go with the bigger budget films of the season. However, that demographic has nothing new coming out this weekend, so it's an audience Hostel has going in it's favor this weekend.
Lionsgate has been pimping the living hell out of Hostel II over the past few weeks to it's main demographic. It also helps that other "torture porn" fllms Saw III and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning did extremely well when they were released, but The Hills Have Eyes 2 (or to a different extent, Dead Silence) tanked it's opening weekend. The first film made $20 million in it's opening weekend (where it was coming off the heels of The Chronicles of Narnia) and was able to find it's audience theatrically and even more so on DVD. I can honestly see that same kind of success again.

Ocean's 13 looks to be a return to form for Clooney and his gang. More straight forward and not trying the Euro-style of 12.

Nice to see Knocked Up in #1, even if it is disputed.

:lol:
Check those numbers against Pirates opening weekend.
Well that's a given.. one's a $200 million-plus budgeted family friendly blockbuster and the other is a modestly budgeted R-rated comedy with no major stars. But my point was that Pirates had a $14 million lead over Knocked Up on overall numbers, yet Knocked Up had a higher PSA, so I was merely curious how much closer the totals might have been in they were playing on equal screens. I'm sure 4300 screens (versus 2800) would be spreading it pretty thin for Knocked Up and a saturation factor would kick in, but still.

On a side note:
9. PAPRIKA SONY CLASSICS 8 70,000 8,750 600% 184,000
Was listed on Showbizdata, I'm confused by that, it did 600% more business Monday than it did on Sunday?
Edit: Nevermind, that's Monday to Monday. Nice to see that insane per theater average, especially for a Monday.
