BIG Money Opening Expected

Filed under: Film Flickers

Indy won't fare the same fate as Speed Racer!

Industry insiders predict that Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will open at $162 million minimum!!

HUGE!

Indy opens the Thursday of the loooong Memorial Weekend, so receipts over a 5-day period will go towards its opening numbers.

Let's hope Paramount won't lie to us about opening weekend figures!

We'll be paying close attention.

      Why would Universal lie? It's Paramount who is distributing it.

      Indy is a Paramount film you idiot. Maybe you should check you facts before making your posts!!! They are always littered with misinformation!

      I SERIOUSLY doubt Indiana Jones will make anywhere close to that. It's such an 80's movie and Harrison Ford is beyond ancient. Look for a big disappointment and an early dvd release. Todays hit movies are classic superheros and modern topics. This is like re-doing ET. No one cares.

      no way. are these the same "industry insiders" that gave the green light for Speed Racer? Give me a break. Anyone with a breathing and living in LA is considered an "insider".

      Has anyone stopped to think that maybe these conviently dropped comments right before the movie opens is an attempt to drum up interest and get people excited to go see it if they think that everyone else is going to see it? Last minute desperate attempts to drum up sales never work. Ask Britney & Ashlee Simpson.

      Perez, I'm begining to think you are getting paid to bash or praise these movies.
      That's pretty freakin' low of you!

      I can't wait until this comes to the dollar dvd rental boxes at wal mart. It will so be worth that buck. Until then I'm spending every penny I have on sex and the city dildos and other vagina banging toys.

      Re: ha ha – You are a complete idiot. It's Indiana Jones, those movies are timeless. Regardless of what generation you're from, they will always be relevant. Guess you're just one of those 18 year old only watch the hills and the real world, kind of idiot, eh?

      When they added to 'Star Wars', they didn't drag out all the old
      characters/actors.
      Can you imagine a movie with the creaky old Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford?
      Oops, I guess they just did that with this 'new' Indiana Jones

      Perez, movie studios don't usually lie. They sometimes inflate numbers, but often they do not. Iron Man did make over 100 million when you factor in Thursday night sneak previews at the beginning of its run.

      I want to puke every time I read where marketers and demographic studiers predict what the public will do regarding entertainment. So I hope this movie bombs, just to show these assholes we are not that predictable!!

      Of COURSE Indy's gonna open to BIG, BIG money! He's INDIANA JONES, aka pretty much the most BELOVED ACTION/ADVENTURE CHARACTER EVER! BIG LOVE FOR INDY! :D

      I think there is no way this movie is going to take in that kind of money. An over-the-hill hero is not that enticing of a box office draw.

    37. PEREZ_SUCKS says – reply to this


      37

      PEREZ YOU ARE A STUPID MORON IF YOU THINK INDY WILL DO POORLY IN THE BOX-OFFICE!! EVEN IF THE MOVIE SUCKS PEOPLE WILL STILL WATCH IT.
      PLUS TRY TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT FAT-ASS!! FATTY FAT FAT FAT!! HA HA HA HA. MAYBE THE FAT IS EXPANDING SO FAST IN YOUR BODY IT IS REPLACING YOUR BRAIN!!! FAT MORON!!

      WHO'S PAYING YOU TO BLOG MOVIE CRITICS???

      WHO'S PAYING YOU ? BET YOUR BLOGS OF MOVIES ARE FUELED BY WHO'S PAYING YOU MORE MONEY!! WE ALL ALREADY KNOW IT!!!

      BET YOU GET BIG BUCKS TO CHANGE YOUR IDEAS ON WHO'S GOING TO MAKE BIG BUCKS AND WHO ISN'T?

      YOU ARE SO OVER YOURSELF?

      GUESS YOU LOVE IT WHEN YOU GET A HELLAOFALOT OF SPEEDRACER SUPPORTERS AND POST ANOTHER NEGATIVE REMARK ABOUT SPEEDRACER??? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT IT? YOU ARE SO OLD NEWS! TIRING STINKY LOOKING ASS CRACK! lolololol

      BTW INDIAN JONES IS EXPECTED TO MAKE MILLIONS YOU MORON!!!

      HOW CAN YOU COMPARE A INDY CLASSIC TO SPEEDRACER WHICH JUSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTT PREMIERED THIS YEAR WITH THE FIRST EVVVVER SPEEDRACER????

      PLUS YOU HAVE NOT REALLY LOOKED AT THE MARKETING OF SPEED RACER? THERE WASN'T ENOUGH MARKETING FOR SPEED RACER TO THE KIDS IN TERMS OF PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIALS, FOOD PRODUCTS SUCH AS CEREALS TOYS, AND SUCH. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPEED RACER MADE WITH LESS MARKETING HEY THAT IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD!!

      INDIANA JONES IS PLASTERED ON CEREALS AND FOOD PRODUCTS, BOOKS REAL ESTATE IN BOOK STORES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOKSTORE AISLES OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE MILLIONS AS EXPECTED. SO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SAY THE MOVIE IS GOING TO TANK.

      WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY SIMPLY THE THE MOVIE TANKED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT MARKETING TACTICS BEHIND IT YOU STUPID BRAINLESS SHIT CHIMP CHIMP LOOKING IDIOT!!!

      ANYWAYS YOU ARE A FRAUD PEREZ!
