DAJK Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Out but anyone who says this will be another Alice 2 is also out of their minds. 150DOM and 400OS is the absolute lowest I can see this going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickvD Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Europe and Asia will eat this up. It might not outgross On Stranger Tides, but it will be big nonetheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you underestimate how much nostalgia was a factor when it came to TFA, especially OS. I don't see SW8 coming anywhere near 1b OS or even 900m. I think people should be happy with 700-750m which would be amazing in today's BO era. I also don't think the reception to TFA was that glowing. Add in the meh reception to RO when it comes to OS and the premise is not great. But we'll see. Either way, I doubt SW8 will defeat FF8 either way. The latter has the continuously expanding asian markets on it's side that could save it from a potential fall in other markets. SW8 is well established in Europe and will suffer drops there, some of them being huge (UK). And Asia will likely be half of what it was for TFA. End of the day we're not too far off from each other in gross. I just think if RO can muster up 500, I think 8 is gonna split the difference at least. 800 - 900 is what I expect/hope. 700- 750 would be good but mildly disappointing. I fucking love the pirates franchise and I hope it does well and the movies great but I'm feeling more 500 - 600 OS. Which would be great still. You are right though, China LOVES Pirates, so maybe. Also Shanghai Disneyland opened a new pirates ride and its the best/most popular ride there. it looks amazing. Idk if you've seen it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Star Wars, there were initial promises of a new trilogy taking place after Episode VI that were finally coming to fruition. And with characters people wanted to see again. With Pirates, the fifth film is just another movie featuring a character and actor that people are growing weary of. And saying this is the kind of blockbuster Chinese audiences go gaga for applies to almost anything. Including Marvel which is a certified China juggernaut now and has a movie opening near Pirates in the U.S. (not sure if China is releasing them as close as U.S. is). So dependent on when it's released there, it's likely the Marvel film could eat into its grosses.

baumer Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 We all thought OST would drop significantly as well. i'm still out, but wouldn't surprise me to see this do 600+ internationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Good club but I'm OUT I think it will do good though but come in under movies like F8, BatB and TLJ. Either F8 or TLJ will be #1 OS for the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesypoofs Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I think pirates is past it's prime. Don't see this happening at all. I don't see this being close, not even if it's big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 China it will be in top 3 hllywd movie of the year. Anticipation is huge. I am expecting 1.5b yuan. But it will drop huge in rest of os markets. I dont think pirates 5 will finish top 3 for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Out. As a fan of the series and for Depp's sake, I want this to be a mega grosser. I don't have a good hang on os projections, but thinking 500-550 os. that's a huge number as is, but even more so with today's exchange rates.

Eevin Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Nah. F8 will definitely win the year OS. That thing is doing $1b+ overseas, mark my words. I could see Pirates making the top 5, though. Something like this: F8: $1.05b SW8: $900m Guardians: $750m BatB: $700m Pirates: $650m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil War grossed 745m and this aint coming close Avengers ensemble. Dont forget ER is way weaker than 1st GOTG release. So to make 750m it needs to more than double the 1st film and that aint happening. Fast 8 also aint grossing that much. ER is against it plus F7 had Walker facter to it. I would say 800m and SW8 also will gross something similar. Transformers will probably gross 700m(with about half that number in china). Pirates around 600m and Guardians around 550m.
