Not a good year for Sony/Columbia Pictures so far this year two bombs in a row. I'm hoping Grown Ups 2 and Smurfs 2 will bomb also not because I hate the studio but because I'm sure both of those movies will be terrible and therefore they deserve to bomb.

Another reason for me the to hope that Grow Ups 2 will bomb one movie was more then enough we definitely don't need a third one. 



Grown Up was a good and funny movie. BUt to dissapont you Growns Up is looking for a 40 m+ Weekend.

White HOuse Down i will say it will do about 38-45 M this Weekend but considering ist high Budget i dont think it will do much Profit. 200-250 M worldwide as best.



Yeah i also think the 250 M worldwide are a best case Scenario.Also i dont think that Europeans are as interested in White house disaster movies like you americans.Personally the movie Looks boring in my eyes.

Cant complain about Growns Up 2 i always have a good time with my friends with the sandler movies. Always fun to watch. Grows Up 2 will be a big success if we can trust first predictions.



White house down will out perform Olympus Has Fallen WW. Roland Emmerich movies always perform well over seas.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Yeah thats true but Roland Emmerichs new movie loôks more like a Die Hard White House Edition rather than a typical Emmerich world end movie. I doubt that this movie will do as well overseas as his previous movies.



WHD would probably have performed better if Olympus didn't beat it out, but it should still still do decent numbers. The problem is the movies big budget. Olympus cost 70 million which is pretty small for a summer action movie so it's 150 WW take should earn it nice profrits, but WHD cost 150, but apparently the effects are really well done. That being said I don't see the movie making more than 250-300 WW. Which is a shame because it looks like a lot of fun. If it does make more than chalk that up to channing potato's being at the peak of his career.

I don't know they must have really good voice actors in Switzerland but too me Grown Ups was terrible 2.5/10 and I'm being slighly generous with that.  The movie was pretty forgettable for the most part.  Even though I don't really like mechas much I'm sure that Pacific Rim will destroy Grow Ups 2 at the box office on its opening weekend.



Well all i can say is that the geraman sandler and Kevin James voice is very good. Both have a very charismatic and funny voice in Germany. I couldnt watch a Adam Sandler movie in english language because its horrible to my ears.

And the first estimates suggest that Grows Up 2 will beat Pacifik Ri at the Box Office. In the end i hope both ovies find ist success because both look awesome in my eyes. But again if i have a choice than i will watch Growns Up 2 with my friends simply because my friends arent interestet in Pacifik Rim.



9 Million for White House Down on Friday. Doesnt look to good right now. Only overseas can safe this movie.
