Dumb and Dumber To tracking for a $100 million weekend. Expected to outgross everything this year.
-
This is a cool site but I'm pretty sure none of the theaters I go to are on here.
-
Tele and that super special secret knowledge.

The rate things are going they may be the last two. -
^ Fuck yes for Cowboy Bebop.

Interstellar OS Thread - $470.7M - $648.8M WW
Mango replied to Olive's topic in International Box Office
Not enough CGI building explosions or Matthew McConaughey fighting aliens for American audiences. -
You should be ashamed if your attention span is that bad.
-
Originality? Hollywood? Yeah not happening.
-
BuzzFeed is no doubt on it now.
-
Doubt it.

I've read anything from $221 million to $307 being the gross of SW first run.
-
Kind of sad but none of those movies would make a fourth of what they made if released today.
-
Those 1965 films probably did it through 3 or 4 runs though. Not to diminish their successes but in terms of single run films.
-
That would be incredible to see. Still wouldn't be as impressive seeing as SW and TA are much more shoe-ins for that kind of gross than a movie like Gump. I still think TA is going to fall well below $600 though I do think SW7 has a good shot at it if Abrams delivers.

If we're talking adjusted numbers I gotta say Forrest Gump deserves to be discussed. It's a human dramedy with a focus on culturally significant events but still take a step back and think about the fact that is adjusts to over $650 million today. What's more it came literally just weeks after TLK which also adjusts to over $600 million. 1994 was crazy. I mean, I don't think we've had two films selling more than 70 million tickets in the same year since.
-
Fuck yes.
-
Having the original core Brain Trust there is nice, but still Pixar managed to do the near-impossible and make three consistently great movies. Now they are taking on something that pretty much is impossible in making a fourth. How many great fourth movies are there out there?
-
Ah, excuse me. Superheroes and Hunger Games.
-
If Interstellar does incredibly well everywhere else and only does middling numbers domestically it just kind of proves American audiences won't see anything that isn't superheroes these days.
-
I remember a lot of kids loving E.T. when I was younger even though we definitely missed it by several years. It's a classic, plain and simple. A+.
-
They're so bad that Hollywood is shutting down for a few weeks to save money.

Hello pot? This is kettle. I just wanted you to know you're black!

Following Skyfall from that estimate gets it a $25.7 million weekend for a 46% drop and following TDW gets it a $34.8 million weekend for a 27% drop. Skyfall seems much more likely though I think with good Friday/Saturday boosts (longer runtime films do tend to get bigger boosts) it could near $29 million.
-
The real question is will Interstellar manage a sub-40% drop this weekend. It needs at least $29 million for that.
