    No, just that predictions here were that it would make between 700-750M OS and it will make around 710-720M which is in line with expectations. No surprises either + or -. 

     

    @peludo I think that Fisher Effect didn't happen because a year passed and her role was small and not that significant all things considered, unlike Walker/Ledger. Also, I guess that young actors dying attract more sentiment. There may have been some effect opening weekend but not beyond.

    ya, I didn't hear any BUZZ about Fisher at all during its run.

    TLJ did totally expected OS. It bombed in China as expected. It lost audience in other new markets that were only briefly attracted by TFA hype and then reverted to their old habit of ignoring this franchise. It retained interest in old markets. The only surprise is its rather underwhelming domestic hold. But OS, it did as people projected which is 700-750M. 

     

    TFA's OS run was an anomaly that won't be repeated. IX should make about as much as TLJ OS give or take due to exchange rates.  

     

    I agree! TLJ should have done 700 or more.

     

    Are you saying it should've looked something like 700/750?

    regarding TLJ failing to pass DH2)

     

     

    Intresting thought process! :P

    Was trying to be positive. In all fairness though, the first two tweets are correct. It will not pass TA and HP8 is safe as well.

     

    I didn't want TLJ to fail if that is what your trying to get at. I'm just noting the less than stellar BO run. However, 1.3 Billion is NOT BAD but not what was expected. I think that's where the whole failure thing in the media and some fans come from. 

     

    All good friend ;)

    Box office between their day 25 and 41 (since RO started to make more every day)

     

    Rogue One: 35.214m

    TLJ: 31.539 

     

    Or TLJ made 89.5% of Rogue One past day 25.

     

    Keeping that pace (will probably not), would end up at 621.8m domestic for a 2.826 multiplier.

    not with the theater drop it isn't.

     

    R1 had 2046 at the same date

    TLJ has 1700 at the same date

     

    That's huge. The fact is theaters don't want Star Wars

    T'm not in the liberal crowd and I enjoyed The Post a lot, I thought it was a great movie. But it is a good point that not everyone is in the mood for "something important," and that's kind of the issue. There are a lot of great movies that are artistic and have a message and should be appreciated, but it's a lot easier to say that from a place of comfort where my daily schedule is basically pursuing whatever the fuck I want to do and being creative and just enjoying life. If I worked 8 hours at retail / fast food / soul-crushing corporate job every day, then the last thing I'd want to do is come home and hit up the theater to see some serious movie. No thanks. I'd rather see something funny like Jumanji or something with a lot of explosions, something enjoyable.

     

    I'm going through lately and watching some "classic films" I missed out on and the same is true of most of them. When I watch them, I feel like I'm doing work, like I'm doing homework, and it's an educational experience that I appreciate as a filmmaker and I'm glad to be seeing these movies, but it's very rarely what I'd call "fun" to be honest. Even some of my favorite classics that I think are incredible movies, like Apocalypse Now, are not really that much fun to watch. I still think they're unquestionably great movies, because movies are an art form. But there are times I want to take a break from the Oscar nominees and "acclaimed movies" of the past and just pop in my favorite Arnold action movie or some old Jackie Chan movie and zone out and have fun. 

     

    There are very few movies I think that can make you think a bit and also be a ton of fun. Ones that come to mind would be like Minority Report, Blade Runner, Inception, The Matrix, the Star Wars movies, maybe Fight Club (though I still don't watch it that often), etc. Otherwise, you get to choose between fun (Jumanji) and intelligent (The Post), and even if YOU are very intelligent, that doesn't always mean you're going to be in the mood for something serious. 

     

    The irony is you see critics refer to fun movies as "disposable" entertainment, but I'd actually argue the opposite. Schindler's List is disposable -- see it once, never want to see it again. I have no interest in watching Good Night and Good Luck a second time, though I think it's a really good movie everyone should see once. It's disposable. It has no value beyond that first viewing to me, at all. Whereas fun movies are not disposable, I can keep watching them every year and derive the same enjoyment and fun out of them. 

    I'm lean Liberal, however, I come here to escape Trump, politics and all that jazz. Movie's are my escape....

    Spoiler

    For the record, I hate Trump. Anyone that is for the ethical advancement of ONLY white people should not be President of the United States, IMHO

    $9.9m weekend, including about $0.9m in China, so $9m overseas minus China for the weekend.

    $17m week, including about $1.8m in China, so $15.2m overseas minus China for the week.

    basically, terrible.. crawling to a 1.32 billion finish 

    HP8 is safe

     

    so is TA for DOM

     

    It will finish where its at all-time

    1.5b for Avatar 2 would be a flop considering China. It's doing 500m at the absolute worst there, with 700+ being likely. Less than $1b from the rest of the world would be horrendous considering what a juggernaut the first was in every OS market. Basically requires it to do no more than 300 DOM and then have an equally disappointing drop off in most every other market. 

    so could we be looking at the first 3 billion dollar film WW?
