The Fast and the Furiosa

Maybe if R1 was SS levels of garbage or worse. Doesn't appear to be the case...

Ayyyy, but American Graffiti got in. #PRIMETIMEEVENT

I hope you have your bag on stand-by. I think you'll be shocked

My 8pm Sunday showing in a dead college town is completely sold out. Not an event

If they don't really behave the same, why bring it up at all?

I follow the dolphins. Disappointed since I started Ajayi as well, but I had literally no other options lol. They stacked the box and forced Moore to beat them. 33% of his completions ended up being TDs, go figure

I'm sorry Commander, I should have told you it was a trap.

That's a Bingo!

Rome wasn't built in a day. This and other ideas I imagine are still on the table

Can anyone give me some insight into Frozen's Friday to Saturday increase in its second weekend? 124% seems abnormally large for a film grossing as much as it did that weekend. Tangled and Toy story 2 only did high 90s that day

Yeah figured it out, that's the 5-day estimate for Almost Christmas that got represented as a 3-day estimate. Should be reflected tomorrow

It's not as bad if you take out Tuesday preview numbers. Frozen 13.9 mil true Wednesday 11 mil Thursday = -20.9% Moana 13 mil true Wednesday 9.8 mil Thursday = -24.7% There is a chance it can come up a bit

Unfortunate that the Arrival Friday and Saturday estimates ended up being lower

Wintersoldier is also a sequel, so slightly different expectations

So The Numbers has 1.9 mil for War Dogs... http://www.the-numbers.com/news/215360830-Thursday-Night-Previews-Dogs-Go-to-War-with-1-9-million-Preemptive-Strike edit: checked other sites, everything else is at 1.25 mil. Strange typo to have

Same happened at my theater

Johnny's thoughts pretty much lines up with my take on the weekend. SS at 18.88 mil. Book it Dano

I don't think Rogue One is going to have much of an effect as noted already, different set of characters in a different place in time. What will be more important though are those early reviews. If they come out saying that Episode 8 does something totally new/ is not a rehash of a previous movie, a lot of the fans that were disappointed in TFA's relatively unoriginal story direction will be willing to give the new trilogy another chance. It wont break TFA's record, but it how close it can get remains to be seen.

Much appreciated, I'm normally a lurker, but I feel like I can add something here and there so I stopped being lazy. This also happens to be my username over at Fantasy Movie League, pretty much the only clever thing I could come up with

I can see the Friday increase going either way for SS. If it follows the mid-late august trend, 70+% increase easily. If guardians, slightly lower. You have to remember that we're playing with the largest August opening ever in a typically frontloaded genre with a rabid fanbase that is split on how much they liked the film; its not going to play by all the rules. SS is going to lose the majority of its IMAX screens and a number of 3D showings which may end up being the difference. I have it pegged at a 60% increase, but it may very well go up more depending on how the new releases stack up this weekend.
