I don't think a 70% drop is out of the question. This is where the critical stench and the bad of mouth are going to do real damage. I think BvS would have had decent legs with at least one of those on its side, but without either of them it's going to fall like a rock. Ahh, I'll still end up buying the bluray. I've got to see the full cut. Even if it contains more TrollLuthor.

I completely ignored FF7 when it was released. Was it released during Spring Breaks? Most of the school districts around me are off. I have no idea if FF7 had that kind of help.

Saw it yesterday and I was pretty impressed. Not a huge fan of the character, but I have read a couple of graphic novels. I don't know if this will catapult Reynolds's career the way IM did for RDJ, but at least he's finally got a hit. I really think the low expectations for this movie helped it in so many ways. It seems like Reynolds and company made a film with little to no studio interference. I can't imagine a rated R CMB getting made under Disney/Marvel or WB/DC. Both universes have their own characters that could use this kind of approach. I wouldn't mind seeing a rated R Lobo flick. After what XMen Origins did to the character, this movie is friggin' miraculous. I've seen a couple of rips at Sin City while I was going through the thread. I loved Sin City, but SC:ADtKF was a friggin' trainwreck. It was just as bad as The Spirit. But back to Deadpool, I'll always love the character for this panel:

Snow, HA! Men care nothing of snow! We would kill local wildlife with our bare hands and use their pelts to clothe us and from their skeletons we would fashion sleds to traverse the puny snow. Our children and wives would pull our sleds while we watched Star Wars blu rays. Our devices would be powered by our firm pecs and buttocks and of course, the tears of our enemies. But yeah, this storm is brutal. It's probably cost everyone 10-20% across the board. I do think it saved a lot of parents from suffering through the 5th wave. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This storm has got to be brutal on the numbers this weekend. We may not be back in school here in SW, Virginia until Wed. But, the main roads should be in great shape by Monday so maybe I'll be able to sneak in a quick trip to the movies. Anything to get out of the house! But tomorrow belongs to football. I'm hoping Manning can ride off into the sunset with a win.

Wow... spent the day shoveling snow and trapped in the house watching blurays and the Cavs welcome their new coach by laying an egg. I check in for some numbers and it's nothing but wrestling and, and, and.... so much man love.... Yeah, I'm going to grab and an ax from the garage, go out into the snow and start chopping down trees. Then I'll carry in the firewood and start watching every Stallone and Arnold movie I have. If any of the women in the house complain about my not showering or shaving I'll put them in their place Connery style with a quick back hand and order them to fix me something to eat. Like a man, a real man!

This storm is not going to do any film favors this weekend. We expect to be stuck in the house all weekend. I doubt my kids will even be able to go back to school on Monday.

You've got way stronger holds than I do. I have TFA's last million dollar days around the weekend of Mar.18-20 and that's when it crawls past $930M. This December news is very interesting. December belongs to Star Wars for at least the next few years. Will any other blockbuster even try to go toe to toe with SW?

I think that milestone might be later into February, maybe even ~ middle? Only to make it clear, only bcs I am so fascinated with the TTT calculation model = waiting for the break of that ~ model, I am not sure about SW7 going as far over $900m as some seem to think. I think a bit more is possible, depending a lot on the market in general for the next ~ 2-3 weeks, but I do not count on it. Beside that, each additional $ is already gravy since some time, even if it would get pulled today.... I'm using a modified Avatar model. I've basically taken most of Avatar days and given TFA weaker holds on most days. It's been pretty stable for the last week or so. By the end of February I think TFA has a shot at $920+M. Not much more. If someone had told me that on Dec. 1st I would have told them they had a drinking problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That drop was pretty close to what I had on my model. I think TFA will hit $900M around Jan 31. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got $900 on Jan 31st with around $930M by the end of Feb. Nice hold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best Original Score as well. They should have thrown in the Best Pic as well. The critical and historic BO success earned it a nomination. I'm not saying it would have deserved the statue when all was said and done, but they could have at least nominated it. Especially now that up to 10 pics can get nominations.

I had expected a slight drop, not a 22% bump. It actually had my model jump from $921M to $945M. Maybe the game took a bigger bite than I thought. I'm hoping for $3.5M and $3.4M to finish the week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm pretty much giving up on $1B. I see between $3-$4M weekdays this week and a $25M weekend with around $6M on MLK day. $900M around Feb 6th... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, much better hold than I was expecting. With another $13M on Sunday we should be looking at $42-$44M and another weekend at #1. Curious to see what we can do from Mon-Thurs this week. Could be anywhere from $14-20M. 1B is looking tough, but $900M is a lock. If anyone had told me we'd be hitting that before Dec. 18 I would have told them they were drunk.

I got my sixth viewing of TFA in last night. The wife and I took my daughters and one of their friends to see DH. TFA was starting 10 minutes later so I did what had to be done, I bought my ticket for TFA! My wife was furious with me, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

1. ESB 2. ANH 3. TFA 4. ROTJ 5. Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars 6. ROTS 7. AOTC 8. SW Holiday Special 9. TPM

This was a much better hold then I was expecting. I thought we'd drop around 12-15%, not 3.8%. I have one model that's looking at a generous $53M for the weekend but I think $45-50M is more likely.

I'm sure Cameron and Fox will have a congratulatory ad out soon. Only a classless jerk and/or bitter studio would let something like this come to pass without giving due credit.

I have no doubt Cameron will have an ad. It's tradition.

Can't wait for Cameron's congratulatory ad.

I have to get into this!!!!! What will always elevate Ruth above Mays and Williams was that he was on his way to becoming a HOF pitcher before he became a full-time hitter and OF. Bonds doesn't even make it into the discussion for me. He disgraced himself and the game. Bonds, McGuire, and Sosa all cheated and I'm glad the only way they'll get into the HOF is as a visitor. But honestly, we're splitting hairs. Mays and Williams were phenomenal ball players. Ways was arguably the greatest 5-tool player ever and Williams the greatest hitter ever. He'd have broken the homerun record if not for his military service. And don't forget DiMaggio. He lost years to the service as well. All great players.

Because he's not done punishing us.

I've got 2 in HS and 1 in MS and they go back on Wed. I teach in a neighboring county and we had to go back today. It's NOT fair!!!! I'm going to load them down with so many chores they'll be BEGGING me to take them to see TFA, BEGGING I SAY!

Don't know what percentage of kids are still on winter break, I just know all of MINE are. While I'm back at work they stay home and send me mocking texts... I should have dropped them off at a movie theater with nothing but TFA tickets!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
