I know, I know I'm sorry. It's the end of the year and I've been swamped with prepping for final exams so it's been difficult lately. I am trying to do this more on schedule and I will have an editorial on Mean girls (editorial not a review) coming on Friday. Anyway time for the weekend box office.
The only really movie of note is Nicholas Sparks adaptation the Longest Ride. Which due to Furious 7 and the fact I think people are catching on to the blandness that is Nicholas Sparks this movie will probably die on impact. I don't mind Nicholas Sparks mainly because in most of his books/movies have two plots, the main one which is just a blatant romance between dull and uninteresting characters and a secondary plot which is way more interesting and in all honesty could be it's own novel. In the Notebook I found the old couple dealing with the problems of time and Alzheimer's much more emotionally involving, The Best of me has a much more interesting if dumb subplot about an abusive drug hustling household, Safe Harbor is just a cool thriller book/movie in need of an editor, and the Longest Ride is the same as the second plot about the WWII couple seems much more interesting than the Modern day couple.
Here's my prediction;
Weekend box office prediction
Budget: N/A
Weekend box office:$11-$20 million
Domestic box office: $30-$45 million
International box office: $40-$50 million
World Wide box office: $70-95 million
While I can't find the budget for the Longest Ride, most of these Nicholas Sparks movies are super cheap to make. So even if this film only does $70 million it will still be technically profitable to a degree. I just wish Nicholas Sparks would write something else that isn't a Romance novel or at the least where the Romance isn't the most important thing because he can't get creative with his second plots as I mentioned earlier even if they are a bit trashy but in a fun way.
