    He didn't actually say the Prequels were better movies though, just that they did more interesting things visually which I don't think anyone can disagree with. We certainly saw more different environments, planets and ship designs in the PT than TFA. That's all he was saying.

    Obviously we saw more, the PT is a film series consisting of 3 movies compared to just one!;)

    Still, we shouldn't underestimate anything with Star Wars in the title.

     

    I can see 160 m OW with 3.7 legs which puts Rogue One close to 600 m.

     

    Just wait till marketing hits it stride.

    The question is whether Rogue One will come close or fall short of the 3.77 multiplier TFA showed last year. I don't think it can hold so well, especially with the holiday constellation this year. Something like 150/ 3.3 multi/ 500

    And Mark_G from insidekino has the feeling - which means he predicts - that both The Conjuring 2 and CI will exceed expectations. The predictions were 130k for the Conjuring 2 and 150k for CI.
    The actual Thursday numbers below are also a little indicator that both films will do better than predicted.
    And the expected multiplier (from insidekino) is nearly 4 for both films (total = 4x this weekend+previews).

    Central Intelligence started in 491 theaters and The Conjuring 2 in 339 theaters.

    The actual numbers from yesterday/Thursday were:

     

    The Conjuring 2: 16k
    Central Intelligence: 14k

    Demoltion: <1k

     

    Warcraft: 5k (last Thursday: 20k, but no reason to worry considering the circumstances)
    Alice 2: 5k (10k).


    PS: If somebody may wonder why I don't post something in the following days: I'm on holiday for the next two weeks. I will look here as often as I can but it's a place (in Italy) with a very bad connection.
    See you :).

    Have a wonderful and less stressful time, Italy is always a great place to be on vacation.

    Really? Where would you place Brave or Monster's University in the Lineup?

    In generell the Pixar movies are better, but yes, some Disney hits were more preferable than Cars 2 or Brave, like Zootopia or Tangled, but the best Pixar movies are definately surpassing the best Disney film, CGI of course.

    What a joke this franchise is.

     

    Pixar should be ashamed of themselves. 

     

    Look at Disney- Tangled, Ralph, Frozen, Hero and Zootopia- have been miles ahead of Pixar since Toy Story 3, even the one I really disliked, BH6, was much better than Good Dinosaur, Cars 2, Monsters Uni.

    Pixar CGI movies (TS to Good Dinosaur) >>>> Disney ones

    oh and Inside Out is better than every Disney film you mentioned

    Domestic:

    1. Star Wars VIII: $600M
    2. Beauty and the Beast: $380M
    3. Guardians of the Galaxy 2: $350M
    4. Spider-Man: Homecoming: $340M
    5. Grinch: $300M
    6. Coco: $230M
    7. Wonder Woman: $220M
    8. The Mummy: $210M
    9. Thor: Ragnarok: $190M
    10. Cars 3: $185M

    This prediction seems to be almost spot-on, but why do you think Ep8 will decrease more from TFA than AotC from TPM?

    But piracy doesn't dramatically affect movies in the North American market. I understand it's a very different story in other markets, but here it just doesn't hurt movies that much. Most people just don't give a shit. The ones who have the know-how and willingness are the same ones who're most invested in seeing movies like this on the big screen. There are very very few who are on the fence about a highly anticipated blockbuster and decide only to watch a pirated version.

    Maybe not the first weekend, but I can imagine that piracy hurts the repeat viewing business. That's why the multipliers are getting worse, of course the "give it to me now" mentality plays a big role, too.
