MTC: 5/21 May 17, 10:40
No RS yet. {nm} May 17, 10:43
85 for Shrek? Am I reading that right? Figuring in 3D/IMAX prices, that number would represent a 45-50% drop in audience from SHREK 3 OW... May 17, 10:46
Tracking is never very useful when it comes to kids' movies. {nm} May 17, 11:05
Have I mentioned the part about playing the players? I have? Carry on. {nm} May 17, 12:07
You sound frustrated. {nm} May 17, 12:13
Yeah.. Is Monday the day that MTC and RS usually comes? Cause they're both here now. I thought it was Wednesdays... {nm} May 17, 12:23
It varies, I think IIRC, it has been coming in on Sundays from time to time. But I seem to recall it usually being today. {nm} May 17, 12:26
K, thanks. My bad, then. {nm} May 17, 13:13
$121M - $85M = 36/121 = 30%. Shrek 3 didn't have legs and did less than $120M than 2. If the trend continues... {nm} May 17, 11:13
You need to take 3D into account as well; $85m would mean $65-70m for a normal Shrek {nm} May 17, 11:16
Shrek 3 also sucked. {nm} May 17, 11:16
From what I've heard, reviews should be slightly better.. though there's still the wear/tear of having a fourth movie... May 17, 11:18
I've managed to convince myself the franchise skipped #3 and went directly from #2 to #4. {nm} May 17, 11:22
It more than sucked. The fact that they are stopping here and not doing part 5... May 17, 11:22
It was still successful and I think the key to these movies at this point is that there's a namebrand value May 17, 11:16
And if RS still has Shrek at mid-$90m or higher, that woul spell trouble for Shrek; I'm not necessarily surprised though May 17, 10:55
What was final MTC/RS for previous Shrek films? Also, is it possible both are over-correcting after over-shooting IM2? {nm} May 17, 11:00
MTC for SHREK 3: $105m, actual $122.5m {nm} May 17, 11:41
Thanks, helpful indeed, and supports what SS hinted at. {nm} May 17, 11:49
RS 5/21 May 17, 12:19
That's seems that might be a more realistic number. {nm} May 17, 12:34
Thanks. Do they include estimate for future ones as well? {nm} May 17, 12:47
RS 5/21 Future May 17, 14:31
Thanks {nm} May 17, 14:35
RS 5/21 Future - Tagging for Reference May 17, 14:45
That seems about right for all though I can't see MARMA beating GREEK... but who knows? {nm} May 17, 15:06
I think it will be somewhere in between. {nm} May 17, 15:59
