    You know Tele, I'd like to personally thank you for this. It just now dawned on me that the metric you're using to describe an event (overall pop culture impact) is one that R1 has absolutely zero percent chance of ever reaching no matter what it grosses. Thank you for winning my R1 not an event argument for me, as always you are eternally wise. :)

    I'm not up on the internet crackpot campaigns.  What exactly are Mike et al rebelling against?

     

    Trump supporters created #DumpStarWars because one of the movie's writers said on twitter that the Empire were White Supremacist, which explains why there are so many humans within their ranks. Of course he meant that as an objective fact, and in a non-political way, but Trump Supporters went crazy and said Rogue One was anti-Trump propaganda, and thus decided to boycott the movie.

     

    It didn't seem to dawn on them that the tweet was old and has nothing to do with Trump's campaign. Whatever.

     

    Then this guy says that since R1 opened below BvS, their campaign is a success, while we all know he's full of shit because Rogue One's total will blow BvS's total out of the water by the end of next week-end or so.

     

    So, their campaign was, in the end, inconsequential, as we all said it would be here.

     

    second time I write this btw, website crashed on me :ph34r:

    As every time it happens, Rth's numbers really do unleash mayhem in these parts...

     

     

    What additional surprises does MovieMan's Event-O-Meter have in stock for us? How will @Jayhawk and @cannastop react to the next rack of Box Office History #DumpLings offered to us dearly by @CJohn?

     

    Tune in on the next episode of the "Rogue One - A Star Wars Story week-end thread" to find out!

    So self-assured it's hilarious. You were completely wrong about the opening weekend - I saw you predicting $170m/$180m and you even kept clinging to that belief after the previews and opening day came in. Predicting a huge range of $450-$600m and being right is not an achievement, either, and I'll add that over $450m isn't even assured at this point, so you might not even be right on that front.

     

    Unlike you, I'm not arrogant enough to claim that I'm definitely going to be right about Rogue One's multiplier - I'm very sure of it, but nothing is a certainty. Your self-assuredness will just make it more hilarious if Rogue One doesn't end up having typical holidays legs.

     

    As for clubs, not interested.

     

    Oh noes, some guy on the BOT forums has some grudge against me for some reason !

     

    What am I going to do :ph34r:

     

    For the record, if you go by that logic, a majority of the users on these forums were "completely wrong" about the OW, so pretty much everyone here sucks at predicting box office right? 

     

    That's what makes it a prediction, dude. No one ever said it would become a fact. It's about sticking your guts out there and making a call, which I don't recall you ever doing, anywhere. Easy to criticize and call out people left and right -- which is the only thing you've been doing since joining these forums by the way -- when you have nothing on the line. 

     

    Just look at this post:

     

    A majority of people in here were wrong in this thread, so what? Nobody cares. It's all fun and games.

    By that logic, anyone who predicted anything else than $150-160M OW in there should quit these forums and never come back because they know nothing about box office :redcapes:

    Call me out all you want if Rogue One doesn't make a holiday multiplier, I don't really care you know. These are numbers forums, we discuss numbers, and sometimes that means being right, sometimes that means being wrong. You would do well to remember that. You act like if I have personal stakes in this... I don't.
