.so much for the hoped-for word of mouth.

Depressing

Yeah if it drops 50% that's a pretty disappointing drop for a low opening kids movie. Maybe it's like the BFG, the critics like it more than the average movie-goer.

Right...after opening below expectations the hope was that WOM would have helped it rebound with a strong hold.

Barely above 10 million in it's second weekend is horrible.

Yikes indeed. I guess not every movie is a winner.

[–] QueenFanUSA 8 years ago

Well number 1212...it's a great film. Are you being sarcastic?

I mean winner at the box office, not winner in quality. I haven't seen it but I heard its good.

You guys know that the world doesn't just mean USA. Its released next month in most countries other than the states.

Predictions are $10-11 million for this weekend... so that's less than 50%...
