If anything this puts a little bit more pressure on the next movie, but as a downside- it'll be a bit [if not completely] 'mainstream.'

Who cares? Everyone already saw it, and it already smashed box office records for January.

I hope they don't make a sequel to be like the first one. Only filmed from first person by someone with a video camera. Yes, it was a very good idea but if the second one is done like this, it could potentially ruin it if it isn't done right.
I'm all for subconsciously thinking I'm really there but I don't want a repeat of the first.
I just know, I shelled out $45 into seeing this movie so if they do make a sequel, it's gonna have to be so much better than the first to make me see it 4 times and pay for someone to go along the way.

Going back to the title of this thread... You should have just said "Every movie doesn't do so good this weekend."

The most any one movie made last friday was Meet the Spartans with 6.6m Cloverfield was only 2m or so behind, so compared to the other movies, Cloverfield is still doing very well.

You need to look at it by comparing how well Cloverfield does compared to the rest of the movies, not JUST compared to how much it made before.

Cloverfield doesn't do so well this weekend, it's well, not good. Wink

I can't believe ANYONE would go see Meet the Spartans. It looks absolutely horrible.

Already seen Cloverfield, want to see Rambo, Meet the Spartans makes me want to throw up on the film and burn it.

Meet the Spartans is a lot like Rocky V. When you open up the DVD or VHS box, all you will find located inside is a big turd.

Ok... Box Office Mojo has put up their estimates for the entire weekend... I'll post em here so we can compare when they get the actual numbers.

-=Cloverfield=-
Friday: $4,132,000
Saturday: $5,513,000
Sunday: $3,055,000
Weekend Total: $12,700,000
Overall Total: $64,294,000

-=Rambo=-
Friday: $6,700,00
Saturday: $6,700,00
Sunday: $4,750,000
Total: $18,150,000

-=Meet the Spartans=-
Friday: $6,875,000
Saturday: $7,650,000
Sunday: $4,200,000
Total: $18,725,000

As you can see, Cloverfield is still holding up remarkably well for having this huge load of movies come out. Also, those other movies wont even make half as much as Cloverfield did the first weekend.

On a final note... at this rate, it looks like cloverfield might still hit the 100m mark before its theater run is over.
