Today we have five openings (one of them is moving from limited to wide).
This one, Admission, is a romantic comedy movie. MPAA rating is PG-13.
Tina Fey is adorable.
There is also a lot of bad things about this movie.
The first question that came to my mind after watching trailer was "What Tina Fey is doing in this movie?". Any actress serving coffee in Hollywood could stick her face there and it would be ok. Why producers picked specifically her? Maybe someone wanted to get even with her for this year's Golden Globes Awards party?
The trailer is pretty boring. There is not much romantic drama going on between characters, there is not at all blooming comedy potential. It is definitely worse entertainment proposition than The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. And we know how that movie went all way down with box office.

This one, InAPPropriate Comedy, is a comedy movie. MPAA rating is R.
If you have seen box office of Movie 43 from this year's January, then know that this will probably be much worse.
I have to add this: I love actors' names written over bad face. It is definitely sexist, because guys' names match proper faces.
So let's move on with our lives.

None of other shooters has published numbers for this movie.
The movie has opened in just 275 theaters only. True "wide" opening is 1000 theaters at least. No wonder noone got interested in shooting for this one. If someone cares: it took $624 per theater.
This one, Olympus Has Fallen, is a thriller/suspense movie. MPAA rating is R.
Gerard Butler hasn't have his best time recently. In last year's Chasing Mavericks he overdid foam costumes (I wear them myself, so it's not taunting, just simple fact-statement), and also in last year's Playing for Keeps he played a tired looking ex-soccer player that obviously overdosed bouncing a ball on his head.
But by this movie he proves that he lives in today, not in the past: he is fit, he does screw-kicks, he fights terrorists.
Too bad this movie looks like a bad rip-off of Die Hard.
Also too bad this year has proved that people don't go see crap movies anymore. They have smartphones, laptops, tablets, and the whole world of internet entertaining that is waiting for them. The horror of choice. Or the beauty of choice.
Some people will see it, of course. But not as many as one would think.

The movie went for 30,37 mln. (3098 theaters, $9804 per theater)
Laremy Legel from RopeOfSilicon goes for 27 mln.
Perri Nemiroff from Shockya goes for 25 mln.

I go for 11,76 mln. (2800 theaters, $4200 per theater)

This one, Spring Breakers, is a thriller/suspense movie. MPAA rating is R.
I think the only reason to see this is four lead actresses: the girls in bikinis placed on the poster. The press called them Disney Princesses, because all of them (or just some of them) played in Disney's Channel children productions. Now they went wild: robbery, jail, pimp, sex, alcohol, probably drugs. Limited release of the movie was totally sold out on curiosity. But wide opening is another story. How many young girls that yearn for freedom from parents want to see this? Enough to get this movie past $10M line?
Also, James Franco looks terrible. I imagine children see him on posters of Oz the Great and Powerful and this movie hanging side to side on a theater's wall and they start crying.

This one, The Croods, is an adventure movie. MPAA rating is PG.
It looks just like February's Escape from Planet Earth: nice for kids, animated, a reason to get a family out from home, nothing truly uplifting though. But comparing to previous animated hits, it is not a Madagascar level of $60M. It is not an Ice Age level of $40M. It is solid $20M level movie. That's it.
