The same have been said for any other record breaker for only their record to be broken and for a new bench mark to be set for blockbusters.
Theaters will expand and more screens will be introduced and ticket prices will rise and their will be more premium screens with higher prices. All these will pave the road for the next mega hit.
I mean everywhere else too.
Where I am from originally 99% of the population in my country know about him and his movies and it’s with a population around 15m-20m in an Africa country.
Isn't there a chance it's meant to be that he is disappointed by the numbers and not the way you guys in here perceived it to be? Correct me if I am wrong, because English is not my native language. It's like my 4th language.
I really don’t see how it can avoid sub 30m now, with the way it’s doing against AIW which had a rather big competition. For it to avoid another -50% drop it’s needs to do better than AIW, which looks unlikely now.
AIW had -30,2% drop on the comparable day.
That’s just too risky and optimistic. But if you choose BP, the next target is of course Avatars 760m, but if you make the club about Avatars numbers then the next target is too far away to consider.
Do I make any sense?
But some fans from both sides of the aisle in here might turn it to a lengthy exchange of angry or abusive messages between them. We can never have a tranquil discourse of MCU vs SW.
He isn’t that far off. His early numbers aren’t supposed to be taken the way some people do here. It’s more a projection and he never stated they will come true.
And how far off is that from the estimates we have? And I was actually suggesting to lower our expectations regarding this movie. We can’t just base our predictions on AIW willy nilly. AIW box office wasn’t unique except for it’s OW. This movie is doing far more than that and is in unique territory of its own.
People back to overestimating AEG again and comparing it to a movie that opened with 100m less on OW. This is not going to behave like other megahits, because it’s on a league of its own right now and it really doesn’t matter what opens this weekend or the next, it has burned off so much demand on its first two weeks that no matter what CS it got. It will keep dropping because the diehard fans with the many repeat viewings are already done.
It’s not disappointing legs, because you really don’t have anything to measure the legs on a scale. This is the first 300m OW opener and it beat the previous OW record holder by over 100m.
AEG will be the first of many to come, but no clue when they will arrive. But when they do AEG will be the scale to determine the healthiness of a such movies legs.
