There's no two ways about it - this is a disaster.

$10-15m opening would have been weak, potentially less than $6m is just terrible, shocking.

Less than zero chance of a sequel now, never gonna happen.

Yeah, it's not great it's true. Traditionally you can start halving the first weekend's box office for each consecutive week but I dunno. Let's see what sort of drop it takes the second weekend. Word of mouth is strong. Strong enough? We'll see...

Just call me the legendary  Danny Scojo-Scneider.

Mate of mine in LA just told me he couldn't get into the screening he wanted tonite cause it was full and there was a line for the next showing. Don't see how it's doing that bad if that's the case. Weekend estimates always miss the ball with sleeper hits, i'm thinking it's going to do ok.

Why are you all talking about box office figures being x amount at the weekend when Saturday night hasn't even arrived yet?!

Oh and for the record..all this 'we have got the film we wanted' is just bravado

Whilst I really like this film it is a long way off the Dredd I've always wanted..and I think that goes for you lot too

Actually I'm both happy and also slightly ashamed to admit that it is better than the Dredd film I've always wanted... which I guess goes to show why people like Alex Garland make films and I don't. Garland and co. made some very smart choices with this film which personally I would never have envisioned, and the film's all the better for it.

And just to unashamedly steal (and distort) the words from your mouth, I think that if they're honest with themselves, the same goes for a lot of other Dredd fans too.

Without being pessimistic i'm afraid it has been a bit of a box office disaster this weekend which is puzzling a lot of people according to deadline hollywood because it's been so well recieved...if it makes anyone feel better the weekend is turning out to be a bit of a disaster for every film released with only End Of Watch ( the surprise no 1 for this weekend) doing better than expected....I would say from these figures Dredd is going to be this years Conan which is a real shame......still it needs about double what it cost to make   (Although Garland was saying from the way it's financed just over $50 million for a sequel) ...well it could still do that when the worldwide figures come in....i get the feeling it'll eventually break even and only just so it may be another 17 years before we see another Dredd....I hope not.

Sucks that it's tanking, but it clearly is. Weekend estimates that are based on the Friday gross usually aren't off by that much. Also, cinemascore is usually *very* accurate when it comes to audience reaction and a B is a lacklustre rating.

Puffing out your chest and getting enjoyment out of Dredd failing is a dick move, though. But that's to be expected from the DURRR DEY SHOULDA MADE DUH SCRIPT I WRITTEN MYSELF fanboy troll.

That's good to hear.

..still it needs about double what it cost to make   (Although Garland was saying from the way it's financed just over $50 million for a sequel) ...well it could still do that when the worldwide figures come in...

Fifty million in the US alone.
