I'm glad to see Prometheus hold #2... but that drop isn't too good, even if it's expected of most sci-fi films. At least it'll pass $100m with ease.

Surprised Sandler bombed so hard. I figured he'd be able to get a decent OW with an R-rated comedy, even if it did look lame as hell.

A Sandler movie can't bomb hard enough as far as I'm concerned. I can't imagine anyone in Hollywood that is less funny than that guy and his tired act.

Hopefully Prometheus won't drop as hard as the early estimates. Sometimes Deadline's early numbers are off a few million.

MIB 3 quietly passes $150+ million. Given the troubled production and 10 year break from part 2, I think finishing up with nearly $170 million US isn't too horrible. It has played very well overseas, but it also cost a shitload of money, so they'll probably need solid home video numbers.

I think The Avengers will eek out $600 million. And I'm thrilled That's My Boy is bombing.

Damn, I should have used Father's Day as a theme for the weekend baseball thread

Yea the 70% drop is big one...and not going to look good for it.

Is ROCK OF AGES a bomb?

Also the previous Friday includes the midnight $$ as well. The drop will be in the 65% range... not unexpected by anyone. Following wks level off around 50%. 120ish domestic gross.

Is $14M for an R-rated Sandler comedy a bomb by studio expectations? The budget couldn't have been that much right?

Do you have to question it? Can't you just let me enjoy the satisfaction of knowing his movie bombed...please!!!

The weekend take wouldn't even pay for Sandler's paycheck so yeah I'd say it's bad.

I'll have to go see That's My Boy before next week, it will probably disappear fast. I was hoping Rock of Ages would have done better, but its appeal is probably limited.

I think this will be the end of Sandler doing R rated movies, they all seem to bomb.

I wish it was the end of Adam Sandler.

Boxoffice.com is estimating a 63% drop for Prometheus, which is an $18.8 million weekend.

yes.

Rock of Ages won't be in theaters very long.

To be fair, that 70% drop is Friday to Friday which included midnight sales.

Looks like Julianne Hough will be coming back to DANCING WITH THE STARS since her movies seem to bomb.

BOMOJO has Prometheus at only a 60% drop now. It's a small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

Also, sorry for being 'that guy', but it's "eke" not "eek" and you'd only use "eke" if The Avengers wasn't going well and had to really scrape to be successful, since it's like, what, number 2 all-time domestic now, you could say that it "kept climbing" to reach 600 million, maybe.

Sorry, it's Father's Day, and I've had my beer ...

^Number 3 all-time domestic Still got to cross Cameron's juggernauts, which it most likely won't...

You say the sentence "Joss Whedon was the director of the 3rd highest grossing film of all time." and you kind of have to pinch yourself if you're a Whedon fan. Jesus Christ.

It could if Marvel decides to go through with that rumoured re-release of Whedon's 3-hour cut in September.

I doubt it would be able to pull in enough during a re-release to pull in that kind of dough. I remember when The Dark Knight was put out in IMAX in January 2009 to help boost it past Titanic.

With this the movie is still too fresh in a lot of people's minds. I'd check out a 3 hour cut in theaters only because I was such a fan but I couldn't see it bringing in the money to land at #2 or #1 all-time.

The Dark Knight's IMAX re-release was in a handful of theaters. It was a very limited release on Warner's part to raise Academy Award awareness and NOT to help sail past Titanic. If Disney gives The Avengers a re-release in August, it'll be on a wide scale.

I bet Prometheus would've held more if word of mouth wasn't mixed. I saw it again last night to a nearly sold-out auditorium. I still stand by my original review: it's a visually engaging film that's crippled due to poor screenwriting.

Rock of Ages and That's My Boy won't stay in theaters for long. Warner must be shitting themselves as their first two, large summer films have flopped domestically. If it wasn't for The Dark Knight Rises in July, their summer might've set them in the red. Losing Alan Horn to Disney was the worst thing for the studio and we'll see that within the next year or two.

Brave well be number one next weekend and Madagascar 3 will see a solid drop as its target audience won't be there anymore. Brave's reviews are far better than Cars 2, but its not their finest hour by a long shot.

I was being facetious. I realized WB claimed it was to raise awareness for the Academy Awards but it was silly at that point for them to even do it since the movie itself was such a phenomenon the the year before.

The talk was at the time is that WB really wanted TDK to have the throne and I don't dispute that.
