Matrix Revolutions to break Box Office Records...

[Gillian]

Here is a tracking quote straight from the studios which I found in Variety...

"Matrix fans are breathlessly waiting to learn Neo's fate, and Warner Bros. Pictures is looking to break some additional boxoffice records."

To break the record, it would have to do over 91 million. I'm sticking with 80 million.

I couldn't resist... I nailed Intertops for +230.

they're talking about the 5-day record, and the oening wednesday record, it doesn't have to brek 91 to break records. But it might do pretty damn well... hard to say since there's almost no hype compared to the last one, and the buzz score has fallen considerably. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is beating it on the buzz chart? wtf.

 

[Gillian]

Nah, Nah, man... those charts don't update properly. they're f-cked. Don't go by them. One day they had TCM drop -355 or something ridiculous like that, and it wasn't even up that high. Plus the don't update yahoo's top ten anymore. And it's always like 2 weeks behind. Nah, the buzz is off. There's so much buzzing for this flick my brain feels like it's full of bees. The Matrix Revolutions was number 1 on moviefone earlier than I've seen any other movie. That's what counts.

 

[Oren1]

true that, the moviefone chart, almost forgot about that one.

but the Matrix used to own the top spot of the buzz index, now look at it, it's fighting with a 1970's horror remake. and this is the type of movie that should be owning the buzz index, look at how well Kill Bill did. I don't know...

 

[Gillian]

dude, what have I been telling you ... the buzz chart is F-CKED.

Matrix has been # 1 on moviefone since last Sunday night.

 

[Oren1]

it might be ****ed but it still predicted a couple of overs this month.

 

[Gillian]

I just found the following, but I see you already beat me too it, Oren.

"Matrix Revolutions Expected to Make $200M in 5 Days" That would make it anywhere from 80 to 95 million.

Better grab those odds at Intertops before they go down.

world-wide. anyways, even with the obvious huge anticipation that means everyone might go and see it on wednesday and Thursday, meaning a lower weekend. See The Phantom Menace.
