Well tatum was a stripper originally so he's done pretty well since that..
And it's pretty cool that he isn't afraid to talk about it..

why would he be? That's all part of his bad boy 'with the moves' image. You can tell he's uncomfortable when he talks about it, even as he's saying he's not ashamed of it, but his management probably tell him to play it up. LOL

he wasn't REALLY a bonafide heartthrob/star, before, but now he is - or will be. More than the taking his shirt off and stuff (which is all pretty derivative as far as 'heartthrobs' go) the guy can dance, like, for REAL dance and THAT is what will grow/solidify his fanbase, IMO.

 

[Messofanego]

I'm straight and I'm so going to see Magic Mike for Soderbergh. I might drag my sister or mom along XD

Also, good work on Moonrise Kingdom Give this a damn wide release, damnit!

 

[immortal-joe]

Somewhere, someone is about to offer Tatum a superhero role.

 

[Zabka]

Please tell me that isn't Kevin Nash

 

[Discotheque]

Unlike Kitsch though, Tatum seems to have a bit of comedic talent in him (as exemplified in "She's the Man" and "21 Jump Street". So maybe that appeals to the female audiences?

I found Kitsch to have his funny moments in Friday Night Lights. Given the right script he could make it work...and watch the film flop too.

Please tell me that isn't Kevin Nash

haha, yep it is Kevin Nash.

Ok, it isn't Kevin Nash.

Spoiler

It's Kevin Nash.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Prome should crack $140 domestic when all's said and done.

Nice.

Won't even come close. Might crawl to 130.

Not surprised that TED did so well, lots of interest surrounding the movie before release, but expect a massive drop off next week.

Prometheus will end closer to $130M. It is $6M behind the Incredible Hulk after a similar fourth Weekend, and that movie stopped at $134M.

 

[friskykillface]

Lol kevin nash in that stripper movie



Ted will get 200 million D:



But i think this will give Seth more movies, hmmmmmm don't know if thats good or bad

 

[xaosslug]

also, marketing for MM was smart using 'Moves Like Jagger' in the ads. It really fit, and got stuck in your brain, the movie with it.

 

[JdFoX187]

Kevin Nash as a male stripper? Haha.

Dear god, I might have to rent that on blu ray at some point just to see that embarrassment.

 

[G-Fex]

Please tell me that isn't Kevin Nash

Big Sexy himself!

 

[Speedymanic]

Also, good work on Moonrise Kingdom Give this a damn wide release, damnit!

I've given up all hope of this happening. One of the best movies of the year relegated to a limited release. downright depressing.

at least it will do well on BR/DVD.

Won't even come close. Might crawl to 130.

Prometheus will end closer to $130M. It is $6M behind the Incredible Hulk after a similar fourth Weekend, and that movie stopped at $134M.

It's what I choose to believe. ;p

 

[kswiston]

I saw Moonrise Kingdom this weekend. Probably my favourite Wes Anderson movie since The Royal Tenenbaums.

[zomgbbqftw]

Some movies missing, there is no way that MIB3 didn't make the chart.

That's my boy is also missing

 

[demosthenes]

Is that Kevin Nash?

 

[JdFoX187]

Weird, it didn't even show up on the site at all.

Is that Kevin Nash?

How did he keep from tearing a quad while filming and moving that much?

 

[Weenerz]

They probably didn't make $170k for the weekend.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

i need to see TED!!!

*checks internet*

... august 2nd...

DAMN YOU GERMANY! DAMN YOOOOU!

At least you've got hot German babes

 

[Escape Goat]

Is that Kevin Nash?

Nobody knows. Certainly nobody in this thread.

 

[TheMan]

Some movies missing, there is no way that MIB3 didn't make the chart.

yeah i was wondering about that. is this the worst performing movie of mr. july's career?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

That's my boy is also missing

Both SPE movies, obviously they haven't sent out their estimates yet.

 

[Cheebo]

Lol kevin nash in that stripper movie



Ted will get 200 million D:

Seth will get to do any movie he wants after this.

 

[demosthenes]

:lol

 

[JdFoX187]

It will hit $600 million worldwide, which is about normal for a Will Smith movie. It's nowhere near as bad as Seven Pounds or Wild Wild West.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Funny thing was that GI Joe was supposed to be released this Friday. Considering the rapid ascension of Channing Tatum this year, thing must be getting edited much different in that movie now.

 

[The_eJoker]

The Avengers might crawl to $1.5 billion in total. What an amazing feature.

Tatum is proving to be a sure thing at the BO, and Ted did really well.

That's impressive.

 

[kswiston]

MIB3 made an estimated $2.9M this weekend.

That's My Boy was estimated at $2.1M dropping over 70% from last weekend. Ted killed it.

 

[Randdalf]

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

I totally didn't even know this film existed, that said, I'd rather the entire Madagascar series didn't exist.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Yep that's exactly what happened, the reason for the delay. Tatum = $$

 

[djplaeskool]

I'm off to see Moonrise Kingdom right now.
Having to drive to the opposite side of Atlanta Metro.
Only 2 theaters here are showing it ...

 

[kswiston]

Prometheus WW total is at $285M


Regarding the MIB3/Will Smith Discussion, MIB3 is Will Smith's seventh highest grossing movie domestically, and third highest grossing film worldwide. His highest film in both territories is still Independence Day. $600M is on the high end for Smith. The only other film (after the two I mentioned) to break that mark is Hancock.

 

[DasRaven]

Wow, sorry Steve Carrell, we're apparently done with you.
"Seeking" fell clean off the chart after an already bad open.

 

[TheMan]

i hate being a poor student...so many movies that i haven't seen this summer and won't see until they are available on redbox

 

[kswiston]

Wow, sorry Steve Carrell, we're apparently done with you.
"Seeking" fell clean off the chart after an already bad open.

Not updated on BOM, but Seeking a Friend made $1M this weekend, down 73%. At least the film was low budget (BOM has it estimated at $10M. It will make less than that domestically).

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

I think that Universal has predicted $600 million for Snow White. Boy where they wrong.

I want Bad Boys 3 now.

Impressive that TAS is comparable to the Avengers. Spiderman is really a WW action hero icon.

 

[MrPink93485]

I totally said in the other thread that Magic Mike was locked for 40m this weekend.

That was until a cataclysmic 42% drop happened from Fri-Sat. So I was wrong. That's pretty unprecedented for a non horror movie/non midnight dependent film.

 

[Emwitus]

I watched brave this weekend and i LOVED IT! Glad it's doing ok.

 

[Dany]

O_O

Okay, who wants to see Magic Mike with me?

So many bombs for Universal.

Did Kevin Nash injury himself while filming Magic Mike?Probably tore is hamstring during rehearsals.

It is higher than any horror movie actually. However, it is in line with some other heavily female skewed films like Sex and the City and the Twilight films. I went to Moonrise Kingdom and Prometheus Friday night (7pm and 10:40pm showings) and there were a ton of 20-40 something all-female groups making a girl's night out of Magic Mike. Both Magic Mike and Ted had a lot of sellouts on Friday.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Snow White's budget is too high at $170 mil.

 

[Dash27]

I'm still somewhat shocked Ted is an actual movie. It looks like a bad parody of a bad movie, or a "funny or die" clip.

Good point, I totally forgot about Sex and the City/Twilight, but they did have some built in audiences that would explain a bigger rush factor to see it on Friday. Twilight also got some pretty big midnight numbers too, right?

If Magic Mike has similar legs to Sex and the City, it will cross 100 million, but it's hard to say whether the Saturday drop was partially indicative of the reception to the film. I'm sure some females were not pleased that there wasn't more actual stripping.

 

[bryanee]

Never in my life did I think I'd want to watch a film about male strippers but I'm hearing good things. I might have to check it out when its out on bluray/dvd.

 

[charsace]

When did this dude go from being the most generic actor this side of Sam Worthington to being box office gold? Makes no sense.

He showed some charisma in 21 jump street. He was the funniest part of the movie for me.

 

[JdFoX187]

So many bombs for Universal.

Snow White didn't bomb. Its' actually got some fairly decent legs going for it. It's not going to hit their $600 million mark, but that was a ridiculous benchmark to begin with.

 

[soundahfekz]

Is that motherfucking kevin Nash in the back?
