    So, that's a 29% increase on Saturday minus previews? That's crazy good. I may have overpredicted the OW a bit but I never expected such a big Saturday jump. Initially, I though 25% was too optimistic. I'm incredibly confident actuals will go up. Fantastic OS performance as well! I'm just shooting for 600M WW right now and I don't think that will be a problem.

    35 would be a great #. Pretty sure it can reach 100 no problem with that #, if barely squeaking by. A 3X multi is a tall order for any superhero film in the summer, no matter how positive the buzz, but I'm still hopeful for a 300M finish. I don't know why but 300M has always felt like my weird arbitrary goal for this movie. It's just like, no matter what you may have expected, nobody can fuck with that kind of gross for a non-sequel. Thank goodness it doesn't have much competition next weekend! ?

    I would love for this to happen just so we can finally normalize female led comic book movies. Hopefully, in a couple years, it won't be treated like this freak of nature film that we all need to put some much pressure on. I'm honestly glad the film is out now and is doing well critically and commercially because I had this stupid fear that if this film somehow disappoints we won't get another like it. And, frankly, that's just absurd.

    So, some of us got a little carried away with our predictions (which always happens anyway), but 38.8M is a VERY good opening day #. My final prediction in the derby was 115M and the average was slightly below that, so this film will not end up over predicted the way some make it sound. Plus the A CinemaScore is very encouraging. I'm incredibly hopeful for a sequel. I'm finally seeing it myself later today. I hope I love it as much as everyone else!

    The feminist in me is kinda annoyed that Harley Quinn is so much more popular than WW because she's so unbelievably hyper sexualized compared to WW. Whatev. She's still a badass.

    Scott Pilgrim was my worst box office call of all time. I remember I had a terrible doomed to fail Scott Pilgrim over Expendables thread back on BOM. ? Although lets see see if this really does 33M. Maybe WW can be my second worst call ever.

    I hope you're right.

    I want Gitesh to be wrong, but I've followed him for so many years and he's usually pretty reliable. And there's such a huge difference between 33 and 38.5, so I definitely can't get my hopes up that it'll end up too high.
  9. nomyth
    I'm just shocked 33 is even on the table. I don't think it'll get more than 80 for the weekend with that. This film just seemed like the ultimate breakout to me. Don't get me wrong 80M is solid enough and since the reviews are so good, should still justify a sequel. But I'm honestly shocked interest in this isn't higher. Particularly with how huge CBM's have been lately. Still early on the west coast so who knows but I'm not getting my hopes up for anything more than 33 until we get some real #'s.
  10. nomyth
    Why the #'s for this always all over the place?? As soon as I was content with that 38.5M figure too, lol.
  11. nomyth
    Damn! As soon as I posted, I was wondering if I missed the sarcasm. ?
  12. nomyth
    Well, we've gone from 34-37.5 to now 38.5. Lets see if we can go higher! (At this point, I'd be so pleased with that 38.5 #, that I'm just crossing my fingers it doesn't fall any)

    I hate Christopher Nolan. But just because every box office conversation I've had since 2008 has somehow come back to him.
  14. nomyth
    You think so? Nolan's huge weakness imo is that he doesn't know how to write an interesting female character to save his life.

    I don't see Orient Express doing too well. The audience it appeals to primarily probably mostly know how it ends and I don't think the cast will do much to draw them in.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one predicting breakout for All Eyez. I've been eyeing 30M for a while now. It pops up on Pulse fairly frequently. I think the marketing has really focused on the right demographics and should surprise people.
  17. nomyth
    I hate these early #'s because I have such a different reaction to the high vs low end. Can't lie, considering I've been so certain this was heading towards a breakout, 34M would be a bit disappointing. 37.5 on the other hand would be a lot easier to feel good about. Either way, it's still early. Hoping the #'s trend upwards.

    The problem with Avatar is that it didn't have iconic characters in it. Sure, the blue aliens themselves are iconic. But I hardly even remember the characters names at this point. I think this is a big reason why people debate the film's cultural impact.

    I'm just so glad we can finally stop with the 65-75M talk. That was really starting to psych me out, lol.
  20. nomyth
    I'm pleased by this. After last night, I was a bit worried it was only gonna pull like 8M. This makes 11M makes 100M OW still a possibility. Not to mention, its #'s were definitely muted by the NBA finals.
  21. nomyth
    Well, WW is up to 23.6% on MT vs POTC5's 27.1%. The #'s will probably only update once more today so WW will probably come up just short of #1 today. Not that it matters all that much. WW is #1, 4 and 5 on Pulse.
  22. nomyth
    MT 1. POTC5 - 28.2% 2. WW - 21.5% 3. Baywatch - 12.6% 4. GOTG2 - 8.1% 5. AC - 5.2% WW has seen some great gains today but I really hope it's at #1 by the end of the day. MT's #'s freeze pretty early in the night so it probably just has a couple hours left.
  23. nomyth
    I think Cars 3 and All Eyez are gonna do more than people expect. That could be a pretty huge weekend.
  24. nomyth
    WW is #1, #3 and #5 on Pulse now. Very curious to see if it can climb to #1 on MT by tomorrow's end.
  25. nomyth
    MT 1. POTC - 37.6% 2. GOTG2 - 12.9% 3. Baywatch - 10.3% 4. WW - 6.1% 5. AC - 5.5%
