[Weekend Prediction thread 6/14-6/16 Play the Derby]

here is my prediction for the last jedi:

 

Since the movie is ok-to well recived I expect a similar run as for AOTC (even though TLJ wil be much more frontloaded and has 3D):

 

so: 477M "adjusted" + 150M 3D,IMAX... + 100M "frontloaded"

 

OW: 223,658M

DOM 727M

 

 

 

will start awesome but the legs will just be decent

I try to watch Chasing Amy again. Back then I really loved the movie, but now I find it just unwatchable...To a lesser degree this also applies to U-turn and as good as it gets- but they still manage to make my list
