    "Captain Pirate: Piracy War - 72.5M"

     

    That's an interesting name choice for a Gokaiger movie.  I didn't even know there was a Gokaiger movie released this weekend.  But shouldn't it be "Captain Marvelous: Piracy War" and not "Captain Pirate?" :D

     

    But really, Disney makes billions off not just from the movie itself, but the merchandise from it too.  They will be fine of course.  Around here, you'd think a movie's box office take is the one and only way to profitability for Disney.

    I like this reference :jeb!:

    This will be the Iron Man 3 to The Force Awakens' Avengers.

     

    I'm predicting 180/700/1550 for TFA and 140/400/1200 for RO.

    Changing my prediction to 175/550/1400. I feel like that multiplier is too low (3.143 vs TFA's 3.774), but I just can't bring myself to predict such massive numbers like 600+. It just doesn't feel right. 

  3. My 6pm crowd was not as hype as I though it would either. The reviews might have had something to do with it. But overall, my theater seemed to enjoy it a lot. I live in Kansas, so every time something Kansas-related was said or showed up on screen, I heard slight chuckles. Theater was sold out, with a 645 showing getting ready as well. I think this movie will do low-mid 20m in previews.

  4. I haven't read the spoilers, but this talk of this movie not being a Cloverfield sequel is disappointing to me. The original is the film that got me into following box office, and I remember going through the viral marketing for it, which was amazing, and hoping for years now, for the sequel. I'll go, because of my love for the original, and hopefully I'll end up liking the movie for what it is, but I was really hoping to see those lingering plot threads resolved.

  5. I think it's safe to say that China will have a 1B (USD) film before DOM will at this point. TFA had a perfect storm of factors and will finish around 935-950, which is an amazing number of course, but the DOM market is largely stagnant. Yes, we have up years like 2012, 13 and 15, but China's market is still growing, and still at a very rapid pace. It's looking extremely likely that China's highest grossing film in 2016 will outgross DOM's highest grossing 2016 film, and China is still growing. Yeah we can argue Avatar or Star Wars sequels, but we know sequels to mega-blockbusters decrease DOM, so it's looking highly unlikely any film within the next 5-10 years can do it. It is almost a mathematical certainty that China will reach 1B before DOM does it.
