If deadline is short by 1.5m like Monday, it would put this more at what I expected, 19m. I was originally thinking in the range of -3% to +1%. Where is Rth so I can go to bed, haha.

This might be a slightly bigger case of what happened with TFA. Core fanbase divided over it, but GA loves it. Although this time around, the small backlash might be a bit bigger this time, and combined with this having less hype than the once in a generation TFA, these numbers seem about right.
My favorite responses to both TFA and TLJ, they both had plenty, are the "This movie ruined my childhood!" I laugh like crazy and wonder how horrible their childhood was for a movie to be able to ruin it.

I don't want to name the horrible movie (a few fit and you can fill in the blank yourself), but this feels like a bizarro week.
Then: Bad movie, hated by critics and general audience, fans/trolls insisting like crazy that it's the best movie ever and that it will have great legs.
Now: Good movie, loved by critics and general audience, haters/trolls insisting like crazy that it's the worst movie ever and that it will have horrible legs.
On a side note, saw TLJ again tonight. Amazing the first time, even better the second. I missed so much the first time due to being overwhelmed. Big Imax, 7 story screen biggest in the state, 550 seat theater, about 50% full hard to judge. Made sure I was out of the theater first. Not a scientific study, but I stood there to listen to people's conversations as they exited. Not one bad thing mentioned just pure love and admiration for the movie.

Am I the only one who remembers the backlash from fanatics with TFA? I heard more bad WOM about that then TLJ. People wouldn't stop complaining how it was just a remake of ANH.

I honestly think the WoM isn't that great.
It isn't just some "trolls" who genuinely dislike the movie.
I have so many friends who are SW fans who posted how much they disliked the movie on social media. I am in Singapore so I doubt my friends care much about Rotten Tomatoes or Trolling.
And my Facebook feed is full of friends that loved it and are saying it's their favorite Star Wars movie. Both of our experiences are anecdotal and don't matter. Odds are, we're going to be friends with people with similar interests and opinions.
The actual scientific polling done on this movie is showing that people overwhelmingly love it.

3D is worth it for big blockbusters in my opinion. Even converted ones. Marvel has really gotten better at the process. Doctor Strange was totally worth it. I really enjoyed GotG2 in 3D as well. Transformers movies have been amazing too. Only reason I saw TLJ in Imax 2D is cause the theater I go to was bought out and stopped all imax 3D showings. I'll be going to the MN Zoo Imax screen, biggest screen in MN, to see in 3D there.

Yes, it does matter. As an example, DOS's 3rd set of weekdays (Mon-Thu) were about the same size as its first set of weekdays. Good luck seeing $20m grosses in 2 weeks. Not going to happen with such high figures.
Wait, you don't think Saturday the 30th will be above 20m?

I'm thinking that the legs are going to be better than my 3.69x that I was thinking. Mainly due to the way the holidays are lining up. Probably 3.8-4.0

Thinking actuals bump it to 222M and will have a 3.69 multiplier for 819.18M
I was going to go with just 3.6x but 799.2 would be "sad".

Let me rephrase...if someone is afraid to change their opinions on movies then they're spineless and need to reevaluate their weak personality.

Funny to think that many Star Wars fans will actually welcome the return of J..J. Abrams to the franchise for Episode IX.
Some people just can't get enough lens flares.

I remember when I was younger. Use to be out late Saturday nights, drinking, partying. You are all a bad influence on me.

What if I like a Tele post where he's talking about how Thor Ragnarok wouldn't have sucked if Depp was in it?

It's bad enough to just upset a Wookie. Imagine upsetting one with mod powers.

Speaking of theaters being different. Any of you familiar with CMX? They're new here. Bought out a theater recently, nothing new yet, and are apparently building a new "first of it's kind" movie theater in the Mall of America.

That's going to need a quote. While attention-grabbing headlines say one thing, his actual quotes say another.

Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi is eyeing between $16.8M-$17M today, which puts its Friday-Wednesday run at $278.8M. Industry estimates believe that over the Wednesday through Christmas run that The Last Jedi will mint $110M which will take its running domestic total to $371.8M.
Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is coming in around $7.4M today and the industry continues to remain bullish that the Jake Kasdan film will get into the high $50Ms, with a shot at $60M by the end of Christmas Day. After dinner, that’s when everyone is expected to head to the cinema. Sneaks for Jumanji for Amazon Prime members grossed $2M on December 8, and that cash will be rolled into its total cume. CinemaScore audiences gave the Jumanji reboot an A- tonight.
