If that estimate holds up, $60 million is pretty decent for an August release that got a lot of mixed or negative buzz in the months before premierie. Something to build on, at least.

yeah, I meant through the week. best case scenario of $60 million this weekend, and $30 million next weekend with the expected 50% drop, that leaves only another $10 million to have to be made through the week. that should be doable, based on the $60 million projection. if the movie has a larger than 50% drop next weekend, it is dead in the water. if it only drops 35-40%, I think Paramount will be dancing on the ceiling.

I dunno, guys... $60 mill isn't bad, but this film cost $175 to make. I highly doubt it will make it's money back in theater revenue unless it does bofo overseas. And what about all that JOE merch? On Friday, my local stores started selling figs for half price (or buy one get one free) and blowing everything GI Joe out the door at 25% off almost as if they knew sales would go stagnant after the movie came out. Industry and retail expectations haven't been very good to this movie.
Jesus H. Christ, when did "putting something on sale" become some sign of "imminent line failure!" Some people are seriously grasping at straws here. Even Star Wars figures go on sale from time to time, and that line's hardly failed, has it? |

You all have to remember, these number are domestic, they don't include the international numbers ... all being said, I figure this movie will land with a solid showing of between 400 and 500 million by the time it's run is done which will give us a sequel (for sure).

Want proof? Go look at the Terminator: Salvation and Star Trek lines. Retailers had high expectations for these films, ordered a TON of stock and are now stuck with 80% of their inventory on clearance, which still isn't moving because the movies weren't well received (yeah I know ST was pretty good, but the merchandise fizzled). PS - dude, don't be so quick to call other posters down when you disagree with them. Drop the attitude and we'll all have some fun around here.

If you'd been paying attention, pretty much every single movie-linked toy that's come out this summer has gone on sale the week the movie comes out. It's called "marketing."
