Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Wow. That is pretty impressive for a frachise in it's 4th run. That's the 21st highest opening day of all-time. I guess everyone that wanted a #5 will get their wish.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

jesus. 30 million for that shit? alone, paul walker and vin diesel can't even make a movie, but in this franchise it's like printing money.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

$30M opening day for "Fast and Furious"!?

there are no words...

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

ugh. sucks to see adventureland not doing so hot.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Bring on 5ast and 5urious!

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Will Warner Bros. Consider Watchmen a flop because it didn't have numbers like 300 or is it just a modest success that will be profitable after it comes to dvd.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

I'm kind of indifferent to Watchmen's overall result.

It's already been proven that 1) Literal interpretations of comic books can be successful (300 (also WB), Sin City) and 2) Dark and "heavy" comic book movies can be made (The Dark Knight). WB having a one off that is slightly less than successful isn't going to change a thing (not saying anyone was suggesting that it would).

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

:thumbsup:

Most estimated the film to do $30-40 million this weekend. I love that it did it in one day.

Never underestimate the drawing power of Vin Walker.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Cool to see Fast and Furious do that well.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

I'm going to stick by my insistence that the next one will be called Fa5t & Furiou5.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Wow...didn't expect to see those numbers!

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

It's really not that bad. It's per theatre average would rank #3 behind Fast and Furious and MvA.

I have yet to see it but word of mouth has been good, it might have strong legs.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

i have to be honest, fast and furious was actually pretty good...

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

I agree, it not the Godfather, but I thought it was damn good entertainment. Still I am stunned it made that much on opening day. The theater me and my son went to was actually about 3/4 at a matinee showing.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Haven't seen Fast and Furious yet, but thrilled to see the monster opening for it because I LOVE this franchise.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

You may want to re-read the top ten.

Haunting in Connecticut and Sunshine Cleaning have higher PSAs than it; making Adventureland number five in terms of the average.

I think it'll have legs and strong WOM; but after this opening, I can't see it doing more than $20 million domestically. It'll do gangbusters on video, but it's time to make money is not right now. It's core audience (myself) all went to see Fast & Furious first.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Watchman isn't "slightly less than successful," it's a huge flop, but I agree that Hollywood won't forget The Dark Knight that easily.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

I wouldn't call Watchmen a huge flop.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Watchmen was a gamble. It was tailor made for the fans of it and its showing.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

Watchmen isn't a flop. I don't think any movie not released during the summer that makes $100 million is a disappointment.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

I would say it's more of a disappointment than it is a flop. While it grossed $100 million plus; Warner was expecting 300-like numbers (especially considering it's $120-130 million budget).

It'll clear a profit when Warner releases the numerous versions of it to video; but I think it's clear to say that people were expecting it to do a lot more.

I thought the final product was great; but then again, I'm not the majority.

Re: Box Office 4/3/09 - 4/5/09 - Fast & Furious box office leaves no room for Adventu
 

the movie was alittle long but it was good...

Fast and Furious was alot of fun...which is what it was intended to be. If you were expecting an oscar worthy performance, then you were dumb. Smart move in bring it up early instead of the summer, it leaves them alone for 3 weeks until Star Trek begins the summer movie season
