If it continues to follow Bucket List's legs from here on out, it'll pass $101.8M. Excluding that film's limited opening numbers, then it's $101.3M. $100M isn't a lock just yet, considering the incoming screen competition, but still very successful.
This will probably be one of the bigger deals to come out of Sundance, so might as well give this a thread.

btw @WrathOfHan I just went to an AMC for the first time seeing Lego. Do they always play these long-ass introductions about the Stubs service? Felt like it lasted 5 minutes (not helped that I was surrounded by screaming toddlers).
Surprised nobody's offered Chris Pine yet. He seems like "Nolan lead" material, and both of his Patty Jenkins productions have wrapped up. It'd also make 2020 the Summer of Pine.
In this movie's defense, one of the biggest faults that GB '16 had overseas was its cast. Wiig and McCarthy only have a domestic pull, while McKinnon and Jones have zero. The biggest draw for overseas audiences was Christ Hemsworth.
While this one will also have no-names and no starpower, at least this film can ride on the coattails of It/Stranger Things rather than rely on its actors.
Still haven't seen the Jump Street movies, but I think this is the Lord/Miller scripted movie I like the least? Haven't seen Cloudy in a long time though. And of course, being last doesn't mean the movie's bad.
Speaking of cameos though, there's one character who appears briefly that has not been spoiled in the marketing that made me and all the adults in the audience howl with laughter. Don't know how it went down at @WrathOfHan's screening, but I'm sure he knows who I'm talking about.
