RIPPA Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 So Amazing Spider-Man looks like it will be settling in with a RT rating of around 54% (It has 225 reviews already so that number isn't going to move much) *looks at own list* FUCK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Since I waited until after the UK release to do my list, I got a sense that ASM2 wouldn't have an upswing. Anyway, I thought it had rotten written all over it once the ComicCon footage was released. Doctor Manhattan Jamie Foxx trying to be menacing? Yeah, the critics are going to have a field day.

RIPPA Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I mean it could end up being OK. Part of that is because I purposely ranked a bunch of movies that I thought wouldn't get above like 35%. So I could still get the placement right I have it 5th on my list and I remember last year the Top 5 was like movie in the 90s movie in the 80s two movies in 70s one in the 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Since I waited until after the UK release to do my list, I got a sense that ASM2 wouldn't have an upswing. Anyway, I thought it had rotten written all over it once the ComicCon footage was released. Doctor Manhattan Jamie Foxx trying to be menacing? Yeah, the critics are going to have a field day. I figured The Amazing Spider-Man 2's Rotten Tomatoes would drop as they have for most comic books films when the US critics get to see it but not as low as 54% rotten. --- Suicide King of Spades started the Summer Blockbuster Movie Pool back in 2008 and it remains the best year with The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, WALL-E and Kung Fu Panda. Might be forgetting something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 And ASM 2 made $91.6 million on its opening weekend. The closest recent comparison is Fast & Furious 6 last year, which made $97 million on its opening weekend and ended up 5th on the box office list.

The second Expendables 2 was barely fresh at 65% and the first one was rotten at 41%. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo The Great Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I felt half of these would get 60%-50% or lower but thought ASM2 would be around the 70% mark. Balls! I'm doing another BO contest and had ASM2 $260m/$70m. Extra balls! Also not to make this a running thing but i saw the trailer for Tammy today and that's making $140m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'd like to participate in this, but an American film-going audience that is willing to shell out to see a Transformers movie is an American film-going audience I can't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think I had Spidey too high on the Box Office from looking at predictions now, but since just about everyone else did too, I don't feel too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just looking at some numbers here, and people seem REALLY uncertain about how The Giver is going to do with the critics. We have 31 people in the pool right now, including pipGofern. 16 people left The Giver off their RT list entirely, so only 15 people actually even ranked it. Then if you look at the 15 people who ranked it - it shows up at least once on every spot in peoples' RT lists except for last and second last. Like one person ranked it first, one person ranked it second, one person ranked it third, two people ranked it fourth, and it goes on like that. There is virtually no consensus about where it's going to end up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 In other words, probably one we all should have left off of our lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
