So that's probably about 60 for the weekend and 135 over six days.

Tiny Comic Book Opening. "That is not awesome!"

Responses:

I am happy to see this kinda limping in.....stop with the unnecessary reboots. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 09:02 6
- agreed. The only way we get new things is if we stop literally going to something last seen 5 years ago. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:09 4
  - And I freely admit I don't mind useless sequels....but what are we rebooting soemthing done well just 10 years ago. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 09:12 3
    - I forgive the Hulk "reboots" because there was an admission that none of the previous iterations were done well/right. - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:16
    - yeah, the Hulk thing was way too much. I think they solely wanted to put one out with the castmember that would be in the Avengers. -- nm - zork Jul 6, 09:14 1
      - Of course, but then they realized Ed Norton is a pain in the ass. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 09:16
- The Wrath of the Titans makers think this was unnecessary. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 09:06
Did it open on the 4th, or are the Thursday numbers for sneaks? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 08:15 1
- It opened on the 2nd. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 08:16
shame, because I thought it was pretty damn good. - groiny Jul 6, 08:13
so it's a flop as far as a comic movie goes? I'm just curious. I don't know - also is Magic Mike a hit? or a frontloaded piece o crap? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 08:10 26
- Like I said, Avengers raised the bar to an unreachable height. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:30 14
  - This is going to earn less in 6 days than Spider-Man 3 did in 3 days in 2007. That's got nothing to do with Avengers. -- nm - David Jul 6, 08:32 13
    - Not only financially, but impact/desire. Ultra new/dream movie followed by a (too soon) reboot. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:37 9
      - If the movie wasn't a re-boot - but a new Spider-Man movie with a new cast,, creative team, etc in the same universe, do you think it would have done - Roger More Jul 6, 08:50 6
        
        I think an autumn (or at least August) opening would have made a big difference. -- nm - zork Jul 6, 09:01 3
        
        I don't think time of year has anything at all to do with it, frankly. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 09:09 2
        
        I definitely agree that it's way too soon for a reboot but this release is too "piled up" on Avengers -- nm - zork Jul 6, 09:11 1
        
        I don't agree at all. It's been two months, and we've had huge opening weekends pile up on each other before. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 09:15
        
        I would have even less desire to see it, if that helps. I already don't plan on seeing it, but that would be a death knell. - Beryllium Jul 6, 08:59
        
        Good question. I am doubtful either way. I have not seen it, but if they did enough right this has a better chance of making the next one - Spawn Jul 6, 08:58
      - That's exactly right and from that perspective, it's a miracle the movie is doing this well. - David Jul 6, 08:39 1
        
        Emma Stone effect! -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 08:44
    - i think the monday opening was a mistake. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 08:34 2
      - Peter Parker one liners fall very flat after hearing Avengers banter. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:41
      - It may prove to be but they wanted to follow the same model as Transformers in 2007, which also debuted with Monday sneaks. - David Jul 6, 08:36
- tracking had it at 125. I called it around 140. -- nm - Remlik Jul 6, 08:17
- Magic Mike cost $7 million to make. Spider-Man cost.... more. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 08:12 7
  - (with the caveat that I wouldn't go so far as to say "flop" for SM - they'll likely make enough to justify a sequel) -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 08:15 6
    - And it will be massive overseas. -- nm - David Jul 6, 08:28 5
      - When people say "Overseas" now where do they mean? - Mel Profit Jul 6, 08:31 4
        
        Pretty much any country that isn't in North America. - David Jul 6, 08:33 3
        
        I suppose I can get used to seeing something not first and... - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:10
        
        and isn't Mexico! -- nm - Roger More Jul 6, 08:46 1
        
        You are correct to lump me in with Jan Brewer. -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:13
- Magic Mike is a hit. Sure, it's a one-then-done, but isn't that like most boys with their toys? -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 08:12 1
  - hee hee -yeah, it is. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 08:16
I'm wondering if its even 60 -- nm - budice Jul 6, 08:10
