    Weekend Estimates: JW: 102 IO 91...RTH: Sun JW 38.3 | IO 25.3 with possible upsides PG 287, possible 107M for JW weekend

    I hope IO doesn't drop from estimates. What's the likelyhood it crosses $300m? MU got to nearly $270 from an $82 OW. I would guess it should be able to make it to $315 but Minions could cut off some of its late legs.

    And JW performs incredibly again!

    What? 300m+ is sure. Infact there is no way in hell this doesn't pass 325m. This is way better than MU. Peiple are loving it. Everyone. Even Baumer loved it!! And it got such an unbelievably huge OW. Its not gonna stop before 350m in my opinion. Minions, as average as it seems, should be afraid of this now.

    Star Wars and BvS will gross about 1B total each and will be seen as disappointments on this forum. Everyone else in the world will be stunned and happy,

    Well, thats the very thing and the very difference though, isn't it? People all over the world don't know about box office - we do. That's why they will have the primitive view while we will have the smarter and more intelligent view born out of real actual knowledge of the thing! So I believe whatever our view will be and whatever their view will be...our view is to be respected for thats the superior one.

    With JW locked to pass the 100 crore mark here in India, we have 3 Hollywood Movies doing before even half the year's over. For comparison, before this year we only had a single hollywood movie crossing this mark (Avatar in 2009)! This is a clear indication that the Indian Market has finally started to open to hollwood movies and the youth audience has become a lot more receptive to it than before. Maybe slowly the market will be divided 50:50 between bollywood and Hollywood, which in my opinion would be a very good thing since most bollywood mpvies these days suck and also because 90% of Indians are very ignorant of the world outside and maybe this will help increase awareness...

    Make the time. The original trilogy is pretty much the best thing ever.

    Yeah, I know. I am definitely gonna see all 6 of them before december.

    But I also wanted to show that the franchise is not at all popular in Asia. Except the eastern countries (East of China that is) maybe. Thats coz except for them (like japan) most of them didnt have well enough developed film markets back then and also most of them were not really open enough to foreign movies until recently. Thus while Avengers is so popular in Asia we can not count SW7 to be a massive hit in asia just because of the nostalgia or 'Star Wars' factor. Only if it actually turns out great in its own right will it become a hit here.

    On the topic of Star Wars, well, if i be honest....the truth is - I haven't seen any single one of the star wars movies. Yes thats true. Neither has anyone else in my class. Few may have in my whole school and still i dont think even anyone among them has nay idea about its influence or cultural significance in US or the world. I am really looking forward to seeing them though, I just don't get the time.

    When will PIXAR do an animation with only human characters? I liked Andy scenes in TS3 more than the entire movie. And I only care about Inside Out because of the Riley. :huh:

    Nah they do animals and inanimate objects better. Just like all other american studios even they can't animate human characters well.

    You wanna see films with quality and well animated human characters that really feel real and with whom you can actually connect? See anime movies. Especially Ghibli Works. Depending on your taste you may like them better than Pixar stuff. For superb character portrayals watch Whisper of the Heart and Grave of the Fireflies.

    Btw through your profile pic, i think you may already be an anime fan and maybe thats why you want Pixar to do that too. In that case let this post just be for anyone wanting to watch good human-character-focused movies.

    Kung Fu Panda 3 | 362m Overseas | 504m Worldwide

    Btw here's the first post of my KungFuPanda3 ovr 1B WW club -

    Ok, so this is my 1st club here please correct me if I may have done something wrong.

    This club may come as a surprise but I believe that Kung Fu Panda 3 has genuine high chances to reach this landmark. The trump card for this is China. The previous part was very, very big in China. KFP1 made 27m there in 2009 and 2 years later KFP2 made 93m there in compliance with the enormous growth in the market. Now the market has been growing at a rate of around 30% for a good number of years and the rate of growth is only increasing (this year, as of now, is currently 60% ahead of last year). As such this is expected to do minimum 400m in China next year and its almost certain that this will break the all time record whatever it is at the time of its release. A big bonus is that this may get released on Chinese New Year in China (the reason they are opening this in January DOM). If it does then only sky is the limit. Here some posts from Johnny Storm/Olive in the Chinese thread -

    Now then so here is what I think -

    450m China (can be much more, min is 380m)

    450m OS (can be both more or less but definitely Not by much)

    200m DOM (Can be 30-40m less. Can be slightly more too if turns out good)

    So - 1.1B WW

    Also, I had a debate on this in the "record no. of billion dollar movies" thread and here is a post I made there, with my reasoning for all three - China, OS and DOM grosses -

    So who's with the Warriors of Legends? :)

    Yeah yeah... keep saying that to yourself as if you knew this one was coming.

    What the hell? I and many others were much closer than you. We failed too but in the avg manner you failed by totally underestimating this even after others all tried to show or tell you otherwise. At least admit yourself being wrong...

    Moreover you are still not learning, what with your Kung Fu Panda 3 OS predictions.... At least now increase them. I am not asking you to succumb to the public view but please stop underestimating movies this way. Its sure ti make atleast 400m in China. Atleast consider 350m or even 300m!

    900M OS with 440m out of that from China. If this manages to open on Chinese new year there, then 500m-540m there. 160-210m Dom. Shouldn't go below 160. This will possibly be very good and culturally exotic (even moreso than the previous installments) for it to go below that. It still has a lot of fans. The 2nd part was recieved well and the tv series has maintained awareness. So 1.05 To 1.2B WW.
