The Walk https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_walk_2015

ROTS opened on a Thursday and had a 4-day weekend that looked something like ... 108/160 or so. If it opened on traditional Friday like the Twilight movies, maybe it would have done like 150. 60m Friday in 2005, 50m Saturday, 40m Sunday = 150, 2 years before SM3. this is fantasy predictions and speculation though so IDK

has anyone here had a time in there life where they were going to school and 'just focused on that' and then did a lot of movie marathons on the side as a time consuming hobby? I'm wondering if keeping up with the films and the movie market is distracting when one is registered to be responsible for completing certain rigorous information/research units or classes in fixed 2-3 months time and expect to walk away from an undergrad level class with a masters level knowledge of the given material.

and Hotel Artemis is estimated to be in 2,000 theaters next week. This is the third film this year from apparent new distributor Global Road. Hope they do not sink in their debut year. 1 Show Dogs Global Road $12,733,417 3,212 $6,023,972 3,212 5/18/18 2 Midnight Sun Global Road $9,561,064 2,173 $4,003,993 2,173 3/23/18

movietickets.com 1 - Solo - 32.8% 2 - Deadpool - 17.7% 3 - Book Club - 7.9% 4 - Jurassic - 7.3% 5 - Infinity War - 6.8% With Jurassic World appearing in the top 5 and the staying power of The Book Club, I do not see Adrift, Action Point, or Upgrade standing a chance at breaking this top 5.

4.8 for Solo on 4,381 theaters is $1,096 avg. $1,000 avg Thurs gives 4.4 Thurs, 119.5 total. if it can double Wednesday on Friday 9.6 and jump over 50% Saturday,

theater count predictions Solo: Star Wars - 4,381 Deadpool 2 - 4,349 Infinity War - 3,518 (-250) Book Club - 2,800 (-10) Life of the Party - 2,137 (-800) Breaking In - 1,185 (-800) Show Dogs - 2,412 (-800) Overboard - 896 (-300) A Quiet Place - 1,024 (-500) Rampage - 438 (-250) I Feel Pretty - 251 (-300) (-4,010) +2,900 Adrift +2,400 Action Point +1,500 Upgrade Hereditary, Hotel Artemis, Oceans Eight the following week. - predicting theater counts for future weeks is like having a huge hole of -35,000 theater counts, and then finding boulders to fill it with that all match together. Maybe the top ten represents 27-30k of this, or twenty films represent 35,000-40,000. The Greatest Showman was still around 2,500 theaters around 6-8 weeks I assume. This can affect films holding after 3 weeks where they get dropped and the other movies stay, but it works well as a placement like with the following week when Hotel Artemis and Hereditary have yet to be forecasted and this particular film can take up around 7.5%, or 5-10% of the screens in the top twenty films

looking at these box office rankings from last year, I was hoping maybe Solo could get from 10-16 million based on the success of Valerian, The Last Jedi, and Logan. Just glancing at a few of the films OW to final ratio, it seems blockbusters get around 2.0 multiplier and maybe 2.5 with optimistic rounding. 3.0m OW x 2.5 multiplier = 7.5 million. here is the box office from American movies I was drawing comparison from spots #50 - #9 from the 2017 yearly Russia box office

the Roseanne thing seems soo behavior-based the way it gets everyone talking.

what other movie would it be?

In order for me to take this movie seriously, I had to make myself feel like they were not take this movie seriously, and maybe even mocking some older horror movies. if that is the case, then I think the direction was pretty good. the random edits, the range of the shots, they keep a tempo going that feels like it is an all out homage to slasher movies where different cuts of film are just all over the place with a schizophrenic feel to them. in that case, Strangers: Prey at Night delivers but only because of a lack of horror slashers and the campiness feel. The Strangers franchise is heavier with the nerve rendering violence that most in the genre. It has found itself over the low B range for now since it seems like the movie fell apart near the beginning thus lowering my expectations for the remainder. 81/100

Solo: Star Wars - 34.3% Deadpool 2 - 28.5% Infinity War - 9.6% Book Club - 6.9% Life of the Party - 3.3% Will any new opener manage to overcome The Book Club in advanced sales for this upcoming weekend, or will presales start for an epic tentpole weeks away and take over the #4 or #5 spot?

this one has been hard for me to predict. I've just been throwing numbers at this one. 100 tickets Friday + 125 Saturday + 95 Sunday = 320 purchases x $9.16 average = $2,931.2 per/theater average. estimates location count of 2,900. these 2,900 theaters multiply with this average of $2,931.2 for this particular domestic weekend prediction. 2,900 x $2,931.2 = $8,500,480. + previews. for perspective, 100 purchases a day at $9.16 for 3,333 theaters = approx. 3.05m

Deadpool 2 made 12.4m last Tuesday. Saturday was down 60.6%. Applying this to Tuesday gives 4.9m (-52.8% from Mon) DP2 could have stabilized by now though and a number as large as half off during these weekdays would not be surprising. but yet again, in an imperfect world, Solo: Star Wars could always decrease from Thursday to Friday. highly unlikely, but no film can be ruled out.

on initial reaction, I thought this could be a mini breakout. the stunts looked fresh from the trailer. when I was viewing the trailer, I was thinking Bad Grandpa upgrade with Jackass 4.0 stunts added with animals. Jackass 3 was pretty big budget from what I remember because the stunts seemed like they needed a lot of extra support and large sets. the stunts in this trailer looked organic and built around the theme park setting.

Star Wars movies still pull an audience during the weekdays. 30 million should be within reach for weekend #2. looking at about 150 after 30 million. will need 33% drops from then on out most likely to get to 250.

this is a 63.44% drop from Monday. 109.817 domestic total. a 40% decline for Wednesday and Thursday is 4.08 million, 8.16 2-days, 118 after one full week.

perhaps the social-political climate will be lighter come next weekend and will bring up movie attendance. I think having two game 7s of NBA conference finals would have a positive effect on the overall box office. Jurassic World went against game 6 and game 7 on JWs first Sunday and Tuesday. JW seemed unaffected and Solo might have been unaffected too, or even done better.

this is suggesting numbers like 3.2b overseas, 800 million domestic.

so if Lebron James has gone to the final 8 straight years, that means he most likely has played over 100 games a season. will he have to retire early cuz of this? does anyone know where all those extra stats go? there is a ranking of most points scored during a regular season, but I don't think all the postseason minutes is added into that...

also if they don't make a sequel, you might be able to guess what is going to happen from a very very vague knowledge of the expanded universe cartoon shows/episodes, etc.

i have not read any of the previous 15 pages so I do not know if it has been brought up yet. has there been any negative feedback from the way Han kisses her? it seems he going in and stealing or planting a kiss. I was wondering if society thinks this is romantic, unnecessary, or should the character have been formal with his approach?
