+35% to +45% for Rogue One today would be considered a "standard" jump I guess. So.. what are the boundaries for... 1. ? 2. ? 3. ?

Rogue One:

Jesus guys, when I said as a joke that the low end for Rogue One this week-end was 50M... I didn't mean for real The GA are digging this movie, it's not dropping 68% suddenly on Christmas week-end with that kind of reception.

I guess we'll see this week-end whether those huge presales were only for OW or more spaced out.

MovieMan you can't just handpick the worst days from King Kong's run and say Rogue One will perform like that, and then completely ignore the other days and say the end multiplier will suck. If Rogue One follows King Kong it's gonna end up with a 4.36 multiplier. Of course I don't think it will reach a 4.36 multiplier, but if you select one particular week-end, or a set of weekdays, where King Kong underperformed for some reason, apply that to Rogue One, and then proceed to ignore the rest of the run... it just doesn't work that way Plus, you know, the whole King Kong is 11 years old so maybe its daily patterns don't apply to a 2016 movie anymore... kinda thing On that subject, I also recall last year lots of people (myself included) falling into the trap of comparing TFA dailies with LOTR dailies. LOTR is just too old, movies perform differently now.

Judging from the posts in this thread so far, the range for the 4-day week-end is about 50M - 100M Got it! 3-day, it's even better. A nice 1M - 75M range

Well, thing is, considering Rogue One is grossing really high numbers right now, I don't think it can display the huge % increases that smaller movies can. +40% FRI, -40% SAT, +100% SUN is where it is headed, I think, and depending on Thursday, that would result in about a $63-64M week-end. If it does increase like crazy though... confirmed

What is it with BOM and the-numbers and many websites predicting 70+ 3-day for Rogue One 2nd week-end? They're only setting themselves up for disappointment I think.

I read that as "4.95% of video games" and thought... wait that's so few of them wtf! ...

so about a 14.5% drop, not bad all things considered. Sure TFA didn't drop at all last year, but the week didn't play the same way, it was closer to Christmas. For reference, Sherlock Holmes 2 dropped 17% in 2011, so somewhat in the same range. @Grand Moff Tele what kind of drop did you have setup for Wed?

That's the strongest point of this movie for me. I have faith in Lucasfilm now after 7 and R1. Really curious to see how the franchise moves forward.

The increase! Moana is on fire edit: Up 73.5% from last Tuesday. Jesus!

me when I see new posts on BOT

Inside Out came short of getting a Best Picture nomination for no real reason except that it's an animated movie, it should have gotten one (and there were 2 available spots). It was close to being the best-reviewed title of the year overall. It even got nominated for best screenplay... I love the 2015 Best Picture nominees, I watched them all except Brooklyn and think they were great, but Inside Out was at least as good.

So I went to see my ENT specialist this morning, and apparently my ears suck for my age, so I have to wear special earplugs for all loud events now, like Shows... and Cinema I told her I went to the cinema last week and she said Cinema can cause permanent ear damage to sensitive ears, so no more unprotected cinema 10 years of drumming does that to your ears. BUT the doctor said I could test my new earplugs to see if they are a correct fit, and that I could go at the exact same cinema to test them if I want Apparently it's safe with them on, as long as I wear them properly. Oh well, guess who's going to watch Rogue One again since it's the only movie at his local Imax for the next 2 weeks?

On reddit: 4 points So is this when the sub [read: box office subreddit] going to come to terms with the fact that this film isn't going to be as leggy as TFA? I think they might be in for a surprise. It might not reach TFA multiplier... but I think it's gonna be a lot closer than they think. Certainly not below 3. Then again, it could even have better legs than TFA for all we know since it opened lower. That would require the movie to be an event though
