  1. That is an amazing number for Moana, but, like Tele said, overreaction is the nature of this forum. As amazing as it is, this is still a 2016 and a Tuesday midnight. And WDAS is way more established than it was in 2013, just like Marvel is, so I don't really see the point in saying: it makes double what Frozen did on midnights, so it will clearly do more. Does that take away from what a great number it is? Of course not. But better wait for the OD figure before starting to argue with people about a projection.
  2. Olive, do you know where in it's run did YN have this biggest day? I am curious. Also, does FB have any chance of beating it's OD on one of the weekend days (Sat/Sun)?
  3. I think it will make a bit more than Zootopia. It really was a brilliant move by Disney to move it out of the way of FB and RO. And by the time it opens, the great reception around the world will boost it even more. Japan doesn't have piracy issues anyway.
  4. I'll wait for China's OD, but at this point, if it manages to make 210-215m DOM, then 800m WW should happen.
  5. Well, it might make in it's first 2-3 day more than the last Hobbit in it's entire run so I would say it did more than avoid Hobbit's fate.
  6. Apparently FB is headed for the biggest OD in Japan since 2006's Dead Man's Chest with about 8m!!! It is a holiday opening, but that is still mindlowing.
  7. I don't really think it has a shot at all. I don't think it can replicate the Frozen frenzy and has 0% chance of even making even 1/3 of what Zootopia made in China, with FB breaking out and Your Name the following weekend having huge presales. The key would be Japan and China. China is out. And in Japan I don't think even the most optimistic prognosticators expect it to even make 1/2 of Frozen.
  8. I would agree if not for the reception of that first footage. It was insane. It still is. It is following the BvS/SS trend of constantly appearing on social media charts. I think the OW will actually be even bigger than BvS' with a bit better legs. It also doesn't hurt that Lego Batman and WW precede it. But yes, it will have to have a bit better legs. Thinking a 180m OW and a 2.2x-ish multi.
  9. 1. Star Wars VIII - 640m 2. Justice League - 400m 3. Beauty and the Beast - 390m 4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 - 370m 5. Despicable Me 3 - 350m 6. Lego Batman - 325m 7. Wonder Woman - 320m 8. Spider-Man: Homecoming - 300m 9. Fast 8 - 270m 10. Thor: Ragnarok - 250m Gosh. That's 6/10 being CBMs.
  10. Technically there are 11 people there, but 2 of them are only half shown. So 9 full + 2 halfs = 10m.
  11. 285,959 (at 7PM) Might actually catch on to Yo-Kai's massive OD considering evening shows should be stronger. It will easily beat SW7's OD.
  12. I fully agree. But this will open in the Potter opening range in USD or even come close to DH2. Seeing the signs in the rest of the world, I don't expect it to be more frontloaded than that. And even if it would be, such a weekend would be so massive that even mediocre legs for the Japan market would take it to a huge total. But again, nothing points to bad WOM.
  13. Hmmm... I'm 50/50 on that one. I think it has a shot, but not because of DS. DS, just like SS and Deadpool this year, were outsiders of the superhero genre. A Marvel Avengers movie won't do it anytime soon and if it does it will have awful legs. But Thor has a big mythology/fantasy part to it and those to are as close as you can get to a sure fire winner in this market. Let's not forget the last Thor held the CBM highest grossing record until Deadpool and then Suicide Squad took the title.
  14. The FB presales in Japan exceed the ones of TFA... that one made 98m there.
  15. So 4.5-5.4m $ OD. So how much can it make by Sunday, assuming it is as backloaded as it was in the rest of the world? 15m? TFA made 13m. DH2 made 21.7m. I don't knw exactly on what they they were released though. But at least it confirms it will not have the fate of TH.
  16. Pretty much everything had amazing holds. Damn, Madea was big! Saved Lionsgate... or not. And The Accountant. Lol, that's 3 in a row for Affleck, after The Town and Argo. And Live by Night will likely be a success also.
  17. Nov 22, 2016 Rank Film Release Date Daily Gross (Total) Admissions (Total) Number of Screens Revenue Share 1 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them U.S.,U.K. Nov 16, 2016 $973,761 ($16,266,243) 143,371 (2,237,866) 1,257 60.44% It actually started beating DS in dailies (in admissions at leastș in USD DS has a bit more, probably because of higher ticket prices - IMAX?) Anyway: FB- 143.371 (-9.5% from Monday) (not final) DS- 143.117 (-15% from Monday)
  18. The Tue number will be bigger than both. BO has changed in the last 2 years.
  19. yeah. for the longest time I thought it was dm (direct message). but same shit.
