They can just turn Indiana Jones into a James Bond type character. It's the same character, he doesn't have to age, there's no necessary sense of continuity, its just various actors playing the character in different adventures.

His reaction means absolutely nothing. If he is NDA'd then he is NDA'd, and he could be in talks for the role, he could already have the role, or he could not have the role. Remember this clip of Ford and Cumberbatch? They both have the same reaction, similar to Pratt's, and one of them is in the film and one of them isn't.

I changed my mind, Starship Troopers isn't the best film of 1997; it's the best film of the 90s full stop.

No way.

Minions > OW record

Yes, definitely.

I was about to say 85M is very low given that it opens next week, but then I remembered it opens in like 3 weeks in Murica... so I guess 85 is pretty solid atm.

Outpacing it in the first day in two countries...

I love the people involved and I thought Prisoners was one of the best films of 2013. This looks fine, but did Lions have to make the thumbnail Emily Blunt in the shower?

You say Urban, I hear DREDD 2

Home video sales are not tracked to anywhere near the accuracy or level of detail of box office. They are sold through many different websites and stores, not to mention preowned sales, rentals etc. It should be pointed out that home video sales are not ignored on the forum. People often bring them up as evidence for their points for how well loved a movie is.

Jurassic World isn't as good as The Godfather? Shocking.

Really? It's not like Kung Fu Panda has some massive fanbase that's going to be all upset that they can't watch it at the earliest moment. Plenty of family-oriented movies are delayed by many weeks/months and they are fine. Big Hero 6 got delayed 3 months after US release this year, and it still performed really well at the box office.

If you think it's a waste of time to talk about box office why are you on this forum?

Is the Chinese teaser officially uploaded anywhere?

As witty as I'm sure you think your post is, this is a box office forum not a JLaw fangirl forum, so yes, some of us are interested in whether she is a box office draw.

Yes, but there are plenty of stars who can sell movies and the movies are successful because of them. Look at Great Gatsby, you think it'd have made 150M with some C-lister in the role? I haven't seen any evidence from Pratt or Lawrence that they have managed to improve a movie's success based on their involvement in the film. No one knew who Pratt was before last year so it's a little early to be saying he's a major A-lister.

JLaw has yet to prove a box office draw. Her CHARACTER in THG may be a draw but that doesn't mean people will turn up to watch her In other things. I know both actors have a hefty amount of online buzz, but that doesn't necessarily translate to actual box office success, which is what matters.

DM2 5-day: 143M Shrek 2 5-day (adj): 169M Shrek 3 3-day (adj): 145M Similar drop would put Minions at roughly 122M. However, Shrek 2 made $200M more than DM2 overall - its legs were far stronger. So an opening at the level of Shrek 3 seems really, really unlikely. I think it will do 110M tops.

Everyone I know who has seen it has loved it. WOM is strong as far as I can tell, and obviously the fantastic Monday and Tuesday numbers support that line of thinking. I'm beginning to think some of the users on the forum live in caves in the middle of a desert.

It may not do amazingly well in the US, but it is going to do ridiculous numbers overseas, especially in Asia. Hell, it could do 150M in the US and still crack 1B. WoW is a huge brand in China and this has a strong shot at being the #1 film ever, over there. Similar story for Korea. You'll see I'm right closer to release.
