  1. You guys are all doing a helluva job marketing this movie. I haven't actually read any of the spoiler tags but the clear debate going on is making me want to go see this and join the discussion.
  2. If Rogue One behaves exactly as Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows did during its New Years 3-day weekend, it would up with about $49.74M. However, I tend to think Rogue One, being the movie it is, will rise on Sunday a little more than the 7% SH2 did. Even a 15% Saturday to Sunday rise would give R1 just under a $51M 3rd weekend.
  3. As others have said, a softer increase than I was expecting for Rogue One. I figured we'd see between $20M and $22M. Ah well, it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I had just hoped that the 3rd weekend would top the $55.64M 3rd weekend of The Avengers.
  4. If word of mouth is starting to kick into gear for Sing, I'm not surprised. I REALLY enjoyed it when I saw it the other night. It was one of those movies that just had me beaming after. That's why I love good animated movies these days. They just make you feel so good. It's a good break from the seriousness or violence and other mature content that make up most movies nowadays.
  5. Hmm, I would have expected much more than that for Rogue One. I was thinking a little over $20M for today on the way to a $56M-$58M 3-day weekend.
  6. So, about time to get the Dec. 30-Jan. 2 4-day weekend thread started?
  7. Cinema has become about the big franchises and film universes, while television has improved immensely in terms of your dramatic entertainment. The thing is, I can't say I mind. If I have money to see a movie and I have to pick between La La Land and Rogue One, well, I'm going to go with Rogue One. Believe me, I try to see as many movies in theatres as possible, and not all of them franchises or tentpoles. It's just that the smaller movies sometimes don't make the cut. This is actually where the discount theatre comes in real handy. I had one near me when I was living in Edmonton and that's usually where I'd catch all the smaller movies, Oscar bait movies etc.
  8. So after factoring in Thursday's gross, looks like Rogue One is going to come in just a hair under $376M domestic. It'll just miss hitting $400M on its 15th day (can't imagine it'll do $24M today) but will hit it on its 16th day. Either way, it will again bump out The Dark Knight for 4th fastest to $400M.
  9. Just moved to the interior of beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I was in Edmonton for about 4 years prior.
  10. I figure next weekend will be a bit more than that. $33M to $36M.
  11. I had this weekend pegged for about $56M but was starting to think that was too low. Maybe not....
  12. So do you guys think Rogue One will remain relatively flat tomorrow or drop? I'm going to predict it drops 20% like Avatar did at the same point for between $14.4M and $14.5M. Too low?
  13. Okay, what is the point of this movie? This is coming from someone who has a pretty open mind and is pretty lenient with Hollywood. This is too much though. Ima pass.
  14. I don't know, maybe I'm just old fashioned. I read actual books and newspapers rather than stare at my phone or an iPad. I actually go to the cinema - and I make a very modest living at the moment - and buy blu-rays. I'm not judging anyone who is any different, I just personally can't stand the "everything digital and at your fingertips" lifestyle that people seem to be living nowadays.
  15. Can't wait for this! Laughed heartily at the trailer. I'm surprised at people saying Despicable Me 2 is the peak at the domestic box office. Due to crowded summer schedule, yes, but The Secret Life of Pets just made $368M domestically. Illumination is on a roll right now! Why cap the domestic gross at DM2 level?
  16. Exactly, or just wait patiently until it does come down in price. What I do is look at around at all kinds of stores and buy the movies I want wherever they're the best price. You'd be surprised at the big differences I find sometimes. For instance, when I bought the Star Wars blu ray set last year at HMV it was $89.99. Everywhere else it was $99.99 or even as high as $119.99. It was weird because usually HMV is usually the expensive one! I also happen to be a blu-ray collector so I have this stuff down to a science.
  17. Absolutely there's always a time and place for staying at home and watching a movie. I watch a ton of movies at home. What I meant is that a lot of people would rather pirate a new release than go to the theatre and watch it, or those who support new releases on VOD. I wasn't condemning movie watching at home in general. Of course not.
