CinemaCon is a (mostly) older tough to please crowd, many of whom are film buyers who see 3-6 films a week and who are tired at that point. {nm}

DL: Baywatch is opening one day earlier on Thursday May 25 [BAYWT] Antibody Apr 07, 13:28

Mentions early projections for Pirates 5 at 115 million for 4 days. Which..seems pretty (overly?) optimistic even with good reviews {nm} notfabio Apr 07, 13:41

What does your tracking say, if anything yet? I agree that it's really optimistic at this point. {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 07, 13:50

Tracking for PIRT5 won't be out for another 3 weeks so wonder where he got that. {nm} Antibody Apr 07, 14:06

Probably using Fast6/Hangover3 over Memorial 2013 as a comp for this duo, is my guess. Social buzz is healthy but not THAT healthy yet. {nm} ShawnMR Apr 07, 14:29

That was my thinking. Action blockbuster vs. R-rated comedy. Jay_Beezy Apr 07, 14:31

Agreed. If both end up generally liked, it could be an interesting weekend. Paramount and Disney both seem confident, FWIW. {nm} ShawnMR Apr 07, 14:38

With Baywatch, I would argue that Paramount's just sitting back and letting the Rock do all the work. ;) {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 07, 14:46

Hah, fair point. {nm} ShawnMR Apr 07, 14:56

With Pirates not even hitting tracking boards for almost a month, I have to wonder where DL is pulling those numbers from. {nm} reelreptile Apr 07, 14:08

I could not stay awake during the screening of PIRT5 at CinemaCon. Didn't hear any other positive comments. {nm} PhoneHome Apr 07, 14:15

I heard it was better than OST, which frankly isn't exactly saying much. {nm} reelreptile Apr 07, 14:18

Are you guys saying that actual overall reception wasn't as good as some would have you believe? {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 07, 14:27

I guess they're the types who've "seen it all"? {nm} tealfan Apr 07, 15:20

and the remake and the remake's remake. {nm} notfabio Apr 07, 15:24

They have Xerox Will Turner trying to free his father from the Flying Dutchman, hence DMC/AWE redux. Jay_Beezy Apr 07, 17:11

I should clarify that it wasn't for lack of action, but lack of new storyline. And yes, not aimed at my demographic, but I liked first one. {nm} PhoneHome Apr 07, 15:51

Really? I heard plenty of good comments. {nm} RupertPupkin Apr 07, 16:16

He said he was there so perhaps he heard additional talk. {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 07, 17:01

I know several people (including some from my own company) who were there, and they all had good things to say about it {nm} RupertPupkin Apr 07, 18:23
