You're wrong about "nobody cares." That is hyperbolic to the extreme. Dude's not Uwe Boll, dude. And The Crappening made $150m+ worldwide. People apparently still care, in places outside of the great U S of A.

Re: Predict "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opening 5 day gross

records are going to fall on this bad boy 100+ million from midnights and OD is certainly attainable.

it doesn't matter if the 2nd week falls more than 50% if it can make more than any other movies do in 5 weeks.

151-170, but then it will drop significantly after the second and third weeks. I think it will end up making 750 million worldwide, but nothing more. And that's being generous.

I'm sure they'll be crying all the way to the bank.

IMAX also set a midnights record, taking in over $1M at 192 theaters and besting the previous midnights record of Transformers 2's $959K.

Did you check for wet spots on the seats?

Re: Predict "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opening 5 day gross

I'm not much for speculating but based on the theater I saw it at this morning, it's gonna be huge. I've never seen a theater so full for a 10:30am showing.

I've seen Twilight, but tomorrow I'm going to sit through 2 hours of hell and watch New Moon for the sole reason of actually being able to insult the Twilight franchise without sounding like an ignorant prick who hasn't even seen the movie. Tomorrow night is gonna suck, but I'm gonna try to get through it.

Re: Predict "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opening 5 day gross

I'll predict over $200 million, though I cannot for the life of me understand this phenom. I tried reading the first book and thought it was teenage drivel. I tried watching some of the first movie and couldn't even make it through the first half hour.

Did it beat Dark Knight's opening? Not that I care really but people on other boards are going to whine like their world has ended if it does. Of course they'll pull out random statistics to try to say DK is still the top. I just find those threads funny.

I see a slew of 2 hour+ long, R-rated posts that argue otherwise.

I do think posting that your are watching movies for the sole purpose of making fun of those movies has to put you fairly high in the ignorant post category, though probably not the blue ribbon "winner".
