When Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within opened to 5M$ on a Wednesday in 2001, I thought it would make 100M$ for sure. Especially since the first showing on that Wednesday was packed.

I can't believe the train crashes before they have time to solve the mystery...

Poll results are in. With 1000+ votes, people were split exactly 50/50 in their excitement for #WonderWoman2 & #StarWars #EpisodeIX.
— Gitesh Pandya (@GiteshPandya) September 14, 2017I'm not interested in EP IX until episode VIII is out.

Next year's going to be another three 400M$ movie year. We still have a good chance to beat the record this year.
I'm thinking IW will win the year, although the last Marvel team ups couldn't crack 500M.

New episode is going to address White Pride. Not surprised by this. I'm wondering if they are going to reference the White and Pissed Off episode.

Looks good. Definitely going to watch this if they show it at my theater.

Never thought this would open this high even after looking at the local presales. I'm baffled!

Presales are monstrous. It has sold about x8 times what Annabelle did. More than Doctor Strange. I think that everything is indicating it will be huge. I mean it's freaking 80% at Movietickets already!!!
80 % coming off the worst weekend in years is not really a good indicator. The comparison to other movies is valid though.

Birmingham Alabama presale analysis
Thursday night previews : 23 showtimes / 0 sellout. I only have major blockbuster comparisons available where the lowest openings were WW (31 shows / 103M$), SMH (35 shows / 117M$) & SS (36 shows / 134M$).
As far as Friday shows, it looks like one major theater has not updated its showtimes yet so it only shows 73 showtimes at the moment while WW had 91, SMH 111 and SS 110. I expect IT will have around 85 showtimes when all theaters have finalized their schedule. EDIT : Can confirm 13 shows are missing from Fandango, so 86 total shows for Friday.
All in all, a very good opening in perspective, but I wouldn't expect an opening in the Super Hero major blockbuster range like some are/were excited for (100M$+).
Still looking at a 75-85M range on my end, but WOM could kick this up in the 90's.

Hangover opened to mid 40's though
Concerning the high OW predictions and clubs, what I'm seeing from the local theaters here in Birmingham AL is not a lot of showtimes. It's not on par with the 100M-120M OW CBM. These movies usually get 30-36 showings on Thursdays to generate their high OW. IT is currently sitting at 12 and should bump up to 20 when all is said and done. As far as Friday showtimes are concerned, only 27 showings have been confirmed so far while CBM that open in the 100-120M range usually have between 90 to 110 showings on Friday. IT should bump up to 70ish when all is said and done.
I'm thinking 65-80M OW at the moment.
So they bumped the Thursday to 14 showings, way under the standard 30+ that 100M$ openers we usually have. As far as Friday, only 68 showings have been confirmed so far, but I don't think every theaters have finalized their schedule.
I'm still thinking 70Mish OW.

That's because theaters don't have their final bookings yet. There will be a massive jump in showtimes next Tuesday/Wednesday.
Yes there is always a bump on Monday-Tuesday in showtimes when they report. I'm just saying the current showtimes are low in comparison to CBM 7 days out.
52 minutes ago, Rumpot said:Is there an argument to put a positive spin on this? That the presales rival CBMs despite fewer listed showings at the moment?
Yeah I guess so although I think that the reports saying this is rivaling CBM presales are probably comparing with mid level CBM like X-Men, Ant Man and Doc Strange.

What's impressive about this list is that WW is the only non December or animated release on this list.
Edit : I just mirrored what @a2knet posted

3D was no where near Avatar tier but it was still good enough not to ruin immersion. For me it was extremely noticeable at first but 10-15mins in I was just watching T2 on the big screen with more depth.
Finally got to see the greatest action film of all time and the second greatest epic in cinema.
To me it was the same level of 3D as TPM re-release on 3D. It was fine, but it was not as good as a movie that was shot specifically for 3D like Avatar or others like that.

Watched it over the weekend. This is the movie that declared the 80's over and defined the 90's. Still looks somewhat good even today with some CGI scenes looking outdated.
3D is fine when it is shot for 3D. Conversion 3D is just gimmicky.

The only reason people are riled up about that theater pulling GWTW out of theater is because of that fanboys club of GWTW Over 200M DOM before 12/15/2019 that Tele started on the 75th anniversary of the movie.
Members of the Out club have been waging a campaign to have the movie pulled out and the In members are afraid they won't win this club.
All's fair in Love and BO.

I'm not trying to start a religious argument, but the existence of Jesus has long been proven to be true. It's apparent to the point where historical evidence exists and digital artists can model a digital bust of Jesus using data in an attempt to see what he looks like. So you can't say this story is completely fictional.
(And I'll ask you a question. If the story was fiction, then why hasn't the name of Jesus Christ faded away into obscurity just like all of the false prophets that came and went?)
Declaring someone a false prophet is a matter of opinion. Is Joseph Smith a false prophet? Do you consider Muhammad to be a false prophet?

Even though I love a good fiction story, I won't see this.

For 2001, I'd like you to include Amelie. 6th biggest foreign language movie ever in the US and biggest French movie. 33M$ DOM and never in more than 300 theaters.

Took the time to watch the trailer. Definitely my type of disaster/monster movie.

I'd say under 250M$ for JL was a strong possibility before WW opened. I just don't see JL opening to less than 125M$ and having worse legs than BvS. There will be too much goodwill from WW.
