Completely original material struggles at the box office, much easier to go with well-known IP (intellectual property) of whatever kind.... {nm}

Posted by: Facto on Jun 13, 02:26 in response to thatpj's post Im still trying to find yours.

THR: tracking suggest the fourth installment in the action franchise will cross $100 million [TFRM4] Antibody Jun 12, 17:18

for it's run? i would hope so {nm} charlie Jun 12, 17:26

Worldwide, it has a real shot. :) {nm} second gary Jun 12, 19:33

Out of all the films this summer, THAT is gonna be the 100M OW? {nm} thatpj Jun 12, 17:29

You're not reading here, often? It's established by now that original material faces challenges, and IP - intellectual property - that is Facto Jun 12, 17:36

So...uh...what about X Men...Spiderman....Godzilla..... {nm} thatpj Jun 12, 18:18

Transformers have consistently opened higher? It's a more consistent franchise? Spidey got re-booted, X-Men was never as big or broad as Facto Jun 12, 18:44

You made argument about originals vs adaptations. Forget already? {nm} thatpj Jun 13, 00:46

Your point being? Facto Jun 13, 00:51

Im still trying to find yours. {nm} thatpj Jun 13, 00:53

Why not? TFRM2 first 3 days $127M, TFRM3 $97.8M {nm} Antibody Jun 12, 17:38

all you have left for summer is Transformers; Guardians of the Galaxy; Mutant Ninja Turtles; Train Your Dragon; Planet Of The Apes {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 17:41

Did you forget May happened? Or did summer start differently in your part of the universe? {nm} thatpj Jun 12, 18:18

you are quite rude and a waste of my time... goodbye {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 18:29

SPOILER: Don't open your mouth, if you can't back it up thatpj Jun 12, 18:37

sounds like somebody is sexually frustrated.... {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 18:38

Why do you insist on bringing SEX into a discussion. Please try to behave responsibly. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 12, 19:41

Sorry RotoHockey, I don't know if thatpj delivers packages for FedEx {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 19:44

He Doesn't. Please Lay Off the Sexual References. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 12, 19:45

oh, so you have already contacted him about this matter? Interesting... {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 20:04

What's wrong with saying "sexually frustrated"? {nm} Goodson Jun 12, 19:54

It's Abusive. There is no Need for it on these Boards. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 12, 19:59

there is no need for all the crap that you put on these boards.... but you do it anyways {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 20:06

so you should remain silent on the matter until you are no longer an offender yourself {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 20:06

You might want to take some thatpj. I will help you. RazorHawk said "all you have left for summer is...". magicdreamer Jun 12, 19:21

Which had nothing to do with my post. A troll is a troll. {nm} thatpj Jun 13, 00:47

You would know. {nm} Juiced Jun 13, 08:01

Sorry my post had everything to do with your post. I covered most of the words in your post. {nm} magicdreamer Jun 13, 10:07

I think Joe Moviegoer is still waiting be wowed this summer...TFRM4 just happens to be next in line {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 18:53

I think Joe goes to TFRM4, they get his money but he doesnt get wow. and Guardians picks up the slack {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 18:56

that would be nice...would show Marvel still has the touch {nm} tealfan Jun 12, 21:30

The last one cleared $100m for the weekend even though it opened on a Wed, so don't see why this one won't xiayun Jun 12, 19:10

Last one did 97.8 for the 3 day. Although, I agree this should open over $100M since it is opening on a Friday. {nm} magicdreamer Jun 12, 19:24

Then again, this is the 4rth installment and it might start showing signs of franchise fatigue. {nm} magicdreamer Jun 12, 19:47

Optimus Prime rides a Dinobot....not much more to say {nm} RazorHawk Jun 12, 20:04

I haven't seen any of them, but I liked the effects in the first three trailers. This one. . . well, no. {nm} second gary Jun 12, 20:16

Spider-Man and X men both had openings over 100M in their franchise history. Did not help much. {nm} thatpj Jun 13, 00:53
