The weekend numbers are in and considering Remember Me has yet to be released worldwide, it's doing pretty well.
Second weekend and it's hanging in the top ten. Just a few theaters added and still playing with the big one - Alice!
Can I just point out that Repo Men, with all it's hype, had an opening weekend earning $2mil less and with a budget double the size. Just sayin'!
The international numbers for Remember Me are not yet in the running (not sure why) but there are some sneaks of how it's done in other countries it's been released in.
I believe word of mouth is doing it's thing!

Go see it multiple times people!!!
RPG has gone NINE times.......no she's not robsessed at all. I think she might single handedly help them make their budget for the movie.
GO RPG!!! I've seen it a mere 3 times......so far.
My avi is Emilie's shoes on the red carpet in England with Rob by her side.
I really like her.
Shouldn't RM be #9 since it has grossed more than my friend's wedding? I just know it will continue to grow and I think Rob is very proud of the film
Four times with plans to see it again next weekend...
Does anyone have access to the script (or a recommendation for a safe way to download it)? I wanted to do some comparisons...I found a blog that posted it, part by part, but it ended at Part 23.
I've been six times, and hopefully one more this weekend.
Also, it should be noted that Matt Damon's Green Zone didn't do what is was predicted to, and is considered a box office failure. The Jen Aniston/Gerard Butler movie came in at #3 with far more press/publicity and powerful studio behind it. Rob's little movie has almost made back it's cost and as Kat said, they haven't even factored in overseas numbers yet.
Please support Remember Me!!!

Keep commenting to counteract the negative critics, and reinforce the positive ones.
Just keep reminding people it isnt a romantic drama.
@rather not......I have it.
email me -click my name.
Thanks for the up-date.
I know WOM must be doing something, I just hope it'll do enough soon enough. Because I'm convinced people will be kicking themselves for NOT seeing this movie later.
Some of us have been commenting on the various sites brought to our attention here--thanks for doing that. For example, the Monika Bartyzel "Post-Movie Coffee" at cinematical.com; the Brad Brevet interview with Will Fetters at ropeofsilicon.com; and the Bryan Reesman articles, one at his blogsite and one at moviefone.com about the controversial ending.
The comments on Robsessed spoiler threads were the best but those at the other sites are really interesting too, and from a broader demographic. Guys are commenting that they didn't think it was for them but when they went they were blown away.
People as old as 94 and as young as early teens have been reported to be really entranced. I thought it was fascinating what a mother said about her 16 yr. old son's reaction: "Mom, seriously, that was the best movie I've ever seen," and later, "Mom, this movie changed me." The kid and his girlfriend were openly crying and discussing the movie all the way home. He stated that "everyone should see this movie."
This is the potent effect this movie has on so many who go. That is why I'm so keen on box office. No longer for Rob and the rest so much--they have only to go to the blogs to read how meaningful the film is and should be really heartened by that.
No, it needs box office because people need to see it. The film doesn't try to be pompous or important but important it surely is.
And I'll now use the word Oscar. Oh yes, I think it is Oscar worthy. But if no one sees it AND the critics by and large panned it, how could it get Oscar buzz? After all, no one with the clout of Oprah is behind it to tout it.
I've seen it 4 times and even the sister I took once who liked it and my hubby, who also liked it, think I'm nuts. I think I'll sneak out tomorrow night again but I feel like a 14 yr. old.
Sorry for the long posts.
Why oh why can't I be brief?
I really don't think anything I have to say is so mind-blowing but I just ramble on. I need a good editor.
Long live Remember Me!
I am with heavy heart today, yesterday I just found out that the theater nearest to my office took out Remember Me in the list of movies showing, just only after a week!!
I have seen it there once with a friend and was planning to see it multiple times!!
I have been plague with all these bad reviews!! I personally liked it not just because I am a fan of Rob but the story itself is moving, emotionally-compelled and left me thinking and with a heavy heart after I watched it and even after days.
I just checked the box office numbers for Australia and it's made just over $1,000,000 here. For a country of only 20 million people, that isn't too shabby in 2 weekends! I have been telling any person that will listen to me to go watch it! It deserves the attention!
4 times is my count so far. I will be back next weekend. I am dragging friends one by one. These are non-robsessed friends (I know, those silly people, how can they not be!) Suffice it to say they are Rob fans now! They were so moved by RM. They have plans to see it again and they are spreading the word.
One by one we will wear them down.
well i was TRYING to see it again this weekend but couldn't leave my son but i guess i should be happy that i got to see it once. i made my daughter go and she took a friend, and they both loved it. my daughter wants to see it again.
so if it doesn't do that good, what does that really mean??? are they going to say that "Robert pattinson" doesn't draw big $$$$numbers...just wondering
i know it dropped but i commented on this a few nights ago.
i saw the movie again on sat with my friends and it was sold out at an 11:30 show.. so apparently the movie is doing well in Brooklyn.
I hope it does good here in the Philippines, heck you know I don't see ANY billboard here, I can even see a billboard of Percy Jackson and that was like last year's movie, then Clash of the Titans which is next month and Remember Me NONE! and get this only one local TV channel and one radio station advertises it. It's like I'm the only one who knows and excited about it!!
But it's showing in major theaters, it is only there I get to see posters.
Looking at the chart of all those movie... are they Domestic Boxoffice Champions... How many of them double the Boxoffice?
A part from Diary of a Wimpy...
Just saying...
well here in mexico i´ll be released this friday, and my friends and i will run to the theater... come on support rob!!!
I hope overseas theaters will do really good too (over here in Europe, Japan, wherever lol). I also hope in the meantime, it will remain in the top 10 in the US.
I dunno why but seeing those figures, I'm optimistic!!!!!
The critics need to come back to planet Earth!!! Remember Me was never meant to or suppose to compete with blockbuster weekend numbers.
From what I've seen Rob say, he chose RM because it was a "different film that probably wouldn't have been made" and "so unlike anything around at the moment"!
RM from the figures did pretty well in NZ!!!
It was never going to pull in the numbers of the Twilight franchise because that is a phenomenon all on it's own.
Critics need to appreciate that it has given us two amazing actors in Rob and Kristen who are all about the age old craft of acting, not fame chasers or money hungry posers!!!
For this integrity, Rob and Kristen should be applauded because unlike a lot of their predecessors, they are all about playing roles that are challenging for them personally but tell stories that would have otherwise remained untold!!!
Looking at the numbers, we did very well in Greece so happy and proud. Pll loved it here. Cimemas were packed even on week days. It was on in 22 theaters only but word of mouth did an excellent job. I have seen it 3 times already but i am going again on Thursday. I saw it with different pll, like grown ups the first time, my students the second, my son and all his gang of 18year olds the third. Every single person I went with was just thrilled about it.
At first It was just women because of this stupid romantic drama thing but then husbands, boyfriends came along. What a beautiful movie.
Agh! No numbers for Australia, yet!!!
I went to see it on Sunday for the third time at 7.10pm, loved it yet more: the more I see it, the more I want to see it. The cinema was not sold out, but only the first rows were completely empty, I think it was a decent number of people. And the reactions were satisfactory, for me.
I feel that the press are behaving in a vindictive way towards Rob - but I can remember him forecasting this himself a while back - they love to put you on a pedestal, but equally they love to shoot you down from it later.
I am a huge fan of Rob's - his portrayal of Edward Cullen has been compelling, but equally I have loved his other movies - he's a talented young guy with lots going for him.
The kids who have been his Twi fans will drop away as other things distract them but there will be plenty of fans remaining who appreciate him at lots of different levels.
I haven't even seen Remember Me - it's not out in the UK until the end of next week,and I know it hasn't hit many European countries yet. I'm hearing good things about it and I know I'll go to see it several times, and buy the DVD.
So come on girls, let's support Rob and enjoy his work. His fellow actors are praising him, and that counts for a lot, not just some numpty reviewer who wants to get a reaction out of us....
Sorry for double posting there...
Hey..I can tell you..here in Brazil RM is not is all theaters ..I had to drive more than 30km to see this movie.. and I saw RM twice that day. I had no time to see it again last weekend,
I think that Brazil would have a bigger number if they had distributed it in more theaters..
sorry my english ..
@Athena, there are numbers for Australia, I googled the Aussie box office and it came up at just over $1,000,000 after 2 weekends. I think that's pretty good considering our population!
Two more weeks to wait till it's released here in France - but today for the first time I had a huge surprise : they've just put up Remember Me billboards in the metro, and they alternate them with huge New Moon billboards as the DVD will be released tomorrow - so I got to see both Tyler and Edward on my subway ride - so cool! I can't help noticing that RM still seems to be marketed as a romcom however. But the RM billboard - black and white, with red lettering - sort of stands out among the other rather garish ones and I've noticed that it seems to catch people's attention - it's rather funny to watch!
I've seen it 3 times so far: Once on opening day by myself. Then a couple of days later with my sister-in-law, her husband and my son. Then my husband and I went yesterday.
The more times I watch it, the more I like it. My husband and my son LOVED it too...and my husband now says that he understands a bit more my devotion to Rob! My husband said that Rob's performance was raw and real and that he is a great actor! What a WIN/WIN: I love my hubby, I love Rob and I love my husband for understanding my love for Rob and for respecting him as the amazing actor he is!!!
But know this: There is more to this movie then just Rob! It's a FANTASTIC and touching movie with a wonderful message. It will touch and move you. To me, it's a must see for anyone and everyone!
So go see it, take your friends and family, spread the word...and always remember to "Live in the Moments!"
Cheers!
