Box Office: ‘Pacific’ on the Rim of Disappointment Stateside, Beat By ‘Grown Ups,’ ‘Despicable Me’ S - Polidicks

However, even this modest momentum doesn’t appear as though it will hold, as the $185 million-plus budgeted pic looks like it will fall to third place around $38 million on Sunday. The really contentious battle is happening above “Pacific Rim,” where Sony’s “Grown Ups 2″ and Universal-Illumination Entertainment’s “Despicable Me 2″ may become more or less tied for first.[/quote] Now I feel bad I didn't see Pacific Rim. I feel even worse that people keep falling for Adam Sandler's Obvious Cash Grabs.

That's sad when you lose to Despicable Me

Going to see it at the IMAX next week cannot wait.

Alright, I don't care what you think about this movie. None of you motherfuckers can say that it deserves less money than fucking Grown Ups 2.

I'm seeing it today and I'm relieved that there probably won't be a lot of people in there

It was pretty bad. Yet awesome at the same time. Still, I can't comprehend how Grown Ups 2 even exists, let alone is making more money.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;41443317]Alright, I don't care what you think about this movie. None of you motherfuckers can say that it deserves less money than fucking Grown Ups 2.[/QUOTE] Never even heard of the first one let alone the sequel until now.

there's a grown ups 2...? god why

I'm sure It'll make loads of cash outside the US at least. And yeah I'll be seeing it next weekend as well.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;41443341]there's a grown ups 2...? god why[/QUOTE] because adam sandler and his cronies needed more money/to be relevant again

Isn't this movie just 100% hype from children and manchildren going "giant robots wooooo".

[QUOTE=sYnced;41443297]That's sad when you lose to Despicable Me[/QUOTE] What despicable me is a good kids film Grown ups 2 is the sad part, that shit sucks

3 garbage movies.

The only reason I'm happy that Grown Ups 2 exists is to hear Redlettermedia's analysis of it.

Looks like we won't be seen any more giant mecha movies for the next decade.

[QUOTE=Squidman;41443393]The only reason I'm happy that Grown Ups 2 exists is to hear Redlettermedia's analysis of it.[/QUOTE] Oh god, I didn't even think of that. Here's hoping it's just as good as Jack And Jill analysis. At the same time, I don't know what more they can say about it, since it's more or less the same scam.

I saw Pacific Rim yesterday with a bunch of friends in IMAX and now I'm convinced that anyone who didn't at the very least enjoy the action scenes is absolutely dead inside

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;41443359]Isn't this movie just 100% hype from children and manchildren going "giant robots wooooo".[/QUOTE]i'll take a classic old school mindless Skyscraper-Sized Robots Kicking Kaiju In The Face type thing over a dull buddy comedy and a B-grade animated film any day

What the hell is Grown Ups? [editline]13th July 2013[/editline] Oh my god it's an Adam Sandler film

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;41443490]What the hell is Grown Ups? [editline]13th July 2013[/editline] Oh my god it's an Adam Sandler film[/QUOTE] its literally a whole movie of adam sandler laughing at his own jokes.

Pacific Rim looked [I]horrible,[/I] so that's no surprise. I mean, I'm pretty hip to robots and monsters and whatnot, but the movie didn't seem to have anything else going for it. The trailers displayed a poorly written mess, and the fact that it's starring [I]Charlie flippin' Hunnam[/I] doesn't inspire much confidence. Pacific Rim seems like nothing more than a gimmicky, patronizing money grab, as far as I'm concerned! It's like the director just Googled "nerd culture" and crammed as much shit together in one movie as he could to bring people to the theaters.

great, now Hollywood will see no reason to make new awesome stuff like p rim

[QUOTE=Turnips5;41443476][url]http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pacific_rim_2013/[/url] also critics on RT agree it was a good film[/QUOTE] Rottentomatoes is a horrible site to go by. A good 75%+ of the time, good movies are rated shit and shit movies are rated good. Havent seen Pacific Rim, dont plan on it. Seen the trailers, it doesnt interest me at all. Really like the first Grown Ups, as did the rest of my family, plan on watching the second one. Same with Despicable Me 2

[QUOTE=Turnips5;41443461]I saw Pacific Rim yesterday with a bunch of friends in IMAX and now I'm convinced that anyone who didn't at the very least enjoy the action scenes is absolutely dead inside[/QUOTE] Critics are always dead inside.

no wonder despicable me 2 won. did you see its fucking gigantic advertising campaign?

Pacific Rim looks more like one of those movies where 'It was good, but I wouldn't pay money to see it at the cinema'

[QUOTE=FordLord;41443573]A good 75%+ of the time, good movies are rated shit and shit movies are rated good.[/QUOTE] do you have any good examples of this? it's a rating aggregator like metacritic

I wish Adam Sandler was still as good as he was in Happy Gilmore
