    It's already at a 2.32 multiplier - by the end of MD it should be around $625m with a 2.42 multi.  There's no reason it should start to behave like movies who's multipliers it's already lapped or soon will.  That and it's not going to just make $22-25m more off a $20m 4 day w/e with summer days coming up.  I think $670m is the low bar

    I agree, I just list all those movies for perspective/comparison; I think Memorial Day weekend will move those numbers up a bit to.

    Maybe? Depends on the person? Just because you think something's an underrated classic masterpiece of cinema, doesn't mean everyone's going to necessarily agree with you. And neither does it mean that they're going to automatically rate it over something that personally brings them a lot of enjoyment just because it's more mainstream and widely popular.

     

    Like Jake Gittes said, it's not really a question you can easily answer unless you get roughly the same amounts of people to watch both. And even then, it's not much of a guarantee. I've seen tons of classic films of all different types and eras, yet my Top 10 still contains two superhero movies and Speed Racer of all things. Because those are the films that have personally most appealed to me and that I've gained the most enjoyment from. Different people enjoy different things and a lot of popular stuff is popular for a reason.

    Definitely agree with this; I've watched several classics as well and hardly any make my top 100 - most are just not my "cup of tea".
