DL early: battleship friday 9-11 mil tealfan May 18, 13:06

she had her weekend guesses in there, but it's so early that I couldn't bring myself to post them...lol {nm} tealfan May 18, 13:10

Obligatory "How does this compare with Hunger Games?" asked {nm} Tanker May 18, 13:12

Obligatory "HGAME did twice that in midnights" response. {nm} RogerMore May 18, 14:35

Does that include the 420K from midnights? BWAHAHAHA!!! Tanker May 18, 13:12

Is that way too early for her to estimate ? {nm} karspov May 18, 13:13

It is never too early for her to guess, nor it is ever too often for her to revise. She says 30M for the weekend. {nm} Tanker May 18, 13:15

If it makes 9M Friday .. It's gonna be 9-10-6, around 25M for the weekend, or 11-12-8=31M, she's biased towards the upper range {nm} karspov May 18, 13:21

I hope the comes in below 9M. LOL! {nm} thatpj May 18, 13:31

thanks, karspov...projecting weekend breakdowns is a skill I've never learned tealfan May 18, 15:04

Ouchies! {nm} thatpj May 18, 13:18

12M for DICTR and 15M for WTEXP {nm} gogreen May 18, 13:59

Good god, Avengers is just raping and pillaging everything that touches it. {nm} MiyazakiFan May 18, 14:08

Disagree, mostly. Avengers may be pulling everything else down, but only marginally. shadowking May 18, 14:12

Ditto Nonetheless I am really surprised that audiences are repudiating BTSHP. {nm} second gary May 18, 14:21

Why? It's Transformers minus the marketing and the shinny robots from my childhood. {nm} medv4380 May 18, 14:34

I think good CGI used to be a more reliable ticket. {nm} second gary May 18, 19:32

Good, then the novelty of CGI is finally wearing off. Now if only 3D would burn out I'd be happy. {nm} medv4380 May 19, 06:03

This year is acting like 2010. Strong BO over spring, including one huge movie. Then an even bigger movie to kick off summer, RogerMore May 18, 14:28

Both Dictator and What to Expect were pegged to hit around 20 million for some time.. Avengers definitely took a bite MiyazakiFan May 18, 22:30

I take the opposite point of view. I think those movies were overpegged to begin with and their weakness has allowed shadowking May 19, 05:55

Just to clarify - those are the weekend projections, not the Friday numbers. shadowking May 18, 14:09

Good to have you back. And yes weekend estimates, hope no one gets confused, may DMAC should erase it {nm} gogreen May 18, 14:32

Who sunk my Battleship? not2fast May 18, 14:14

No sequel then? {nm} lesana May 18, 14:25

Lets hope there is no sequel. Just saw this. PU. Power87 May 18, 17:52

If only Peter Berg had directed The Avengers. At least it wouldn't look like a TV show and have the energy of one. jmrickey May 18, 14:40

Does someone get fired for this like John Carter? Does it spell the end of whatever film career Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker hoped to have? {nm} jmrickey May 18, 14:47

Rihanna is female lead. Will probably effect her more then Decker. {nm} thatpj May 18, 15:10

Rihanna's role is far from the lead. {nm} Antibody May 18, 15:41

She has highest female billing though {nm} thatpj May 18, 16:29

The Hasbro deal was they paid 5 million in penalties to exit Candyland and Stretch Armstrong {nm} notfabio May 18, 15:20

I thought they were going to make Candyland with Sandler starring? {nm} jmr May 19, 00:11

No, Rihanna is a goddess. No one should or will blame her for this Peter Berg fiasco. As for the others, who cares? {nm} elchan May 18, 18:22

Pfft. She was terrible in it and fugly looking to boot. At least Decker provided eye candy. jmrickey May 18, 22:42

And Peter Berg is a cool guy. jmr May 18, 22:48
