I wonder if Disney delays VIII and turns Star Wars into a Christmas staple after these numbers. Dec 15 - TFA Dec 16 - Rogue Dec 17 - VIII Dec 18 - Solo Dec 19 - IX -
I've been saying 200+ for Star Wars for months. Not letting everyone else scare me out of it this time. Standing tall and giving it a legitimate chance to topple JW.

This is insanity. My gut told me to go higher than 150 for this. I only made that prediction because literally everyone else was saying 100-125.

Weekend Numbers Jan 23-25 pg 46(AS 64 mill, Mom's cookies 15)

It's widely considered a well-made movie, at the very least. Dishonest? Maybe. It's straightforward and unpretentious (if a bit basic and un-flashy). It's going to beat the fucking shit out of Mockingjay (probably both), though. Thank God. -

I think it's incredibly stupid that Americans would have made two Hunger Games flicks their number one movies in consecutive years if not for the savior that is American Sniper. -
I'm extremely tempted to say Star Wars is a lock for 500. I think it'll do mammoth numbers over Christmas and into early January. It won't behave like Avatar deep into Jan and early Feb, but it'll annihilate Alvin and MI5. Easily a 180+ OW followed by second and third weekends in the 70-90 neighborhood each. It'll be the biggest December release for a very long time. Mark it.

It would be the greatest thing ever if this beat Mockingjay. Shame that it's currently at the top.

What boxoffice runs are unbelievable in retrospect?

Still trying to figure out how Hunger Games opened to 152 a few years ago. Thought it was astoundingly bland for such a colossal hit. Even before I saw it, though... trailer looked weak, female protagonist, obvious Twilight-wannabe. Dumbfounded to this day that 40-45% of its audience was male and that the series has basically become the new Harry Potter. I never looked at the books' sales. I guess the answer is in those. -
Whoa. That could very well be a reality.

No, I wasn't.

This topic has probably already been exhausted on these forums, but these Thursday previews get on my nerves. Don't studios want a high OW number anymore? Do they think they're making more money with Thurs previews?

I literally feel sorry for anyone who thinks this movie is anything more than mediocre.
-
You can't even tell me what the "more deserving animation" is. I happen to agree that Brave was overrated ("strong woman" movies generally bore the hell out of me, anyway), but it likely won the Oscar because it was still the best animated movie of the year. In a mediocre year, Brave won.

Such as?

Are people really hating on Pixar? Seems so wrong. I consider myself an intelligent person, and I find that just about every Pixar release is cinematically better in every way than literally 90% of modern Hollywood movies.

Monday (7/23/12) Numbers: The Dark Knight Rises - 19.5M

The Avengers was a better, smarter movie than The Dark Knight Rises. If what I just said upsets you, you deserve to be upset. -
TDKR Weekend: $160.89M - #3 ALL TIME HIGHEST OW
2041758 replied to Cedarpoint1111's topic in Numbers and Data
There's a very fine line between joking to make awkward situations better and joking to make awkward situations better when it involves innocent people being murdered. Absolutely none of you who make jokes about this are worth the space your body occupies. -
I don't have any idea how anyone could say this could do any less than 200 OW in 2014. The case can certainly be made for a less overall DOM, but I just can't see how this does anything less than 200 out of the gate. If it comes out in December of 2014, I'm saying 250 OW.
