    "  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may end up taking in about $80M to $88M for the three-day weekend with a possible $130M for four day "

     

    :jeb!:

     

    It's not even funny at this point.

     

    Why are ALL the box office websites being dumb on this? :rofl:

     

    NO WAY this hits $130M 4-day

    "Rogue One: a projected Friday-Monday gross of more than $110 million "

     

    -------------

     

    Hmm... I highly doubt it's going that far. Here's a somewhat regular projection.

     

    FRI: $23.4M (+40%)

    SAT: $14.1M (-40%)

    SUN: $28M (+100%)

    MON: $32.2M (+15%)

     

    $98M. Quite far off $110M

     

    SUN jump could be a bit bigger, Monday you never know I guess.

     

    I'd be curious to see their daily increases and drops :ph34r: 

     

    Pretty certain they never made any :ph34r:

    Dr Strange may make it to 232-233 depending on how it plays over the next week. Good total since it looked like 220 was a stretch at one point.

     

    No kidding, it won't end far behind Winter Soldier, which was 1. a sequel, 2. benefiting from the Post-Avengers effect that all phase 2 marvel sequels got, and 3. had Black Widow crossing over for added inter-connectivity.

     

    Disney should be pretty happy with Doctor Strange

  4. 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 :ph34r:

     

    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 :qotd:

    On that subject, I also recall last year lots of people (myself included) falling into the trap of comparing TFA dailies with LOTR dailies. :ph34r: LOTR is just too old, movies perform differently now.

    $70m is probably the high bar at this point, but it's not impossible considering how terribly AC and Passengers are doing. Somewhere in the $65m range would be my guess at this point. 

     

    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...

     

    :apocalypse: confirmed

    I think the problem with video game movies is that 

     

    1.Story is typically secondary, and when it's not, it's typically an interactive kind of story.

     

    2.A lot of the charm in the story of games like Elder Scrolls, Legend of Zelda and Warcraft is the expansive universe, and discovering it for yourself.  The lore is really fun, but you can't really cram what makes some of those games great into a two hour movie.

     

    3.Most studios try to do a direct adaption of a 40 hour+ video game and fit it into a two hour movie.  If they really want to make a good video game movie then they need to do an original story in the universe.

     

    4.95% of video games (even if they're great games) just aren't going to translate well into a movie, even with the best talent involved.  The material just doesn't adapt well.

     

    It's probably possible to make a solid video game movie, I just don't think anybody in Hollywood has really figured out how, nor do I think it's really worth the investment to figure that out.  At best, I think some video games (might) be able to translate into a solid TV Show, but even then I'd probably recommend letting games stay games.

     

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

     

    ...

    I saw passengers today and pretty much loved it. And then I saw Rogue one for a second time and I liked it a hell of a lot more than I did the first time. I think I just needed a second viewing to take it all in and it actually helps that I watched a new hope last night again. Part of the problem the first time I saw it was that I was completely taken out of it right from the beginning when it didn't follow a typical Star Wars kind of Direction. But this time I just got it a lot more. It really is a fantastic movie.
