BATMOOSEMIKE

After seeing the trailer(s) for this movie I feel like the special effects are actually kind of lackluster, especially considering the budget. Don't get me wrong, the scenes in space with all the ships and the lasers are beautiful, but that opening scene with the weird monster thing looked like something out of spy kids to me.

How bad is SpiderMan Homecoming's drop? I know it's technically the second biggest MCU drop, but there was the new Apes movie that came out. Any chance it'll drop sub 55 next weekend?

What about Star wars: Rogue one? Remember when Star wars VII made a trillion gazillion dollars?

I just saw zootopia again (in China, since I'm on vacation). The zootopia showing was nearly full, more people than the batman v superman showing. And this is in a "3rd tier city", where less people usually watch animation movies.

15 million Friday???!! Are you guys sure RTH isn't making an April Fools joke?

So, I just went to the washroom and came back, and I see that we have the official number. Damn, 82m is pretty decent. I don't think the drops are going to be as harsh as everyone says they'll be, and personally, I just watched this movie this evening and I thought it wasn't as bad as the critics say it was. It definitely dragged in the beginning, and the dream sequences were overdone, but the fight scenes were epic!

So what are your estimates in USD for Kung fu panda?

I really hope this can break 50M this weekend. 8M on tuesday is great, although so far this week it's 1 million lower than my projections.

My take on whether Star Wars:TFA can crack a billion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_escVKrmYs Thoughts?

Despite this movie's mind-blowingly huge boxoffice, everyone still thinks its disappointing lol. Still, it would be amazing if it could get a 100M 3rd weekend and end up with 1B domestic. Although for some reason, this movie keeps missing out on milestones by a tiny little bit. At this rate it'll have a 99.7M weekend and a 999M domestic final. By the way, I heard some people say that some studios "fudge" or falsify numbers, but how do they do that? Subtract money from later in the run of the same movie? Subtract money from another one of their own movies? Or just pretend the movie made more money than it actually did? Like where does the extra money added come from.

Didn't some people in the Thursday thread say this had to get 40M today to make 100M weekend? So 100M weekend is still likely?

LOL noooo shruth why'd you impersonate Rth. We have lost our oracle/seer, Now we are all blind like everyone else.

??? Star wars's Xmas day increase is less than half of most other movies increases? I find that hard to believe lol.

If this makes 180-190M, so basically staying flat from its first true weekend, wouldn't that mean it would have the same legs as Avatar? So it could make 2.5B billion domestic? Although I feel like it'll drop a lot from predictions, since Deadline overpredicted the opening weekend on Friday by quite a lot if I recall correctly.

Near Metrotown in Burnaby :). That's the theater I usually go to.
