    I really wish Werner Herzog could narrate my life.

    Every couple of years, one of my best friends corners me and makes me go through each Pixar movie and rank them. It used to be a lot of fun. The last time he tried, I was just like... I'm over it.

    Ha ha, for serious. As an adult, I can always at least appreciate that they're a step above when it comes to kids offerings. Having said that, I had to watch Cars every day for about a year when I babysat my cousins kids. So, the entire franchise is like needles in my brain now.

    I always play devil's advocate with Pixar movies. Every time I'm around folks who are going apeshit over them, I tend to think... are they really that good? But every time I talk to Pixar haters, I'm like... you're crazy! They're great! Truth is, their brand is largely synonymous with quality in terms of family offerings for the GP. They're definitely doing something right. And I, personally, can't wait for Coco. They need to fucking stop the sequels tho. Jeez.

    Yeah, I don't really trust any WW projections yet. I wanna see a Friday #. For all we know, they could have WW at 35 based off of a 10-11 Fri. But if it does over 10, 40 is definitely in play.

    Jealous! Hope you have a great time!

    Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor ?. But I was a huge fan.

    I'm very curious about this one as well. I was never fully on board with SBC as Mercury but I totally agreed with what he said about leaving the film. If what he said was true and the band members do try to make it more about the band itself rather than specifically about Freddie, then I don't expect great things. I definitely get the vibe that the rest of Queen do want it to be more sanitized.

    The last trailer for Rough Night was just so bad. I'm a fan of literally everyone in the movie but I have no plans to see it. It's just way too zany. The real turning point for me was the whole Kate McKinnon Australian accent gag. Like... ugh. That's not even that funny for an SNL gag much less for an entire movie. I think she is so so funny but she seems totally wasted in the movie.

    Good to hear regarding Gopher! Wish him all the best for sure. I remember he was up there with xiayun around the time the derbies closed down. Yeah, xiayun has always been the gold standard for predictions imo. He really has an understanding for the ebb and flow of the market.
  11. nomyth
    Ah, well good to know he's still in it. He was absolutely on fire for a couple years there. I wonder if he still predicts. But I'm glad to see so many familiar names still posting here. Pretty much all the regulars in fact! I was glad to see posters like 8wombi and rolling thunder still predicting. Gopher is the only other poster off the top of my head who I haven't seen around.

    Wish I could pretend I was really a newbie but I used to predict in the BOM derby all the time as The Tramp/Avery Gentle. And, not to toot my own horn, but I used to be up there with king xiayun (anybody know if he's still around?). Getting back into predicting recently reminded me how hard and time consuming making accurate predictions can actually be. I've definitely gotten off to a shaky start but it's fun getting back into it again. I'm really glad this site kept the derby going. I used to be all about it in 09-10.

    Ugh. I knew I should have kept my All Eyez prediction higher. All the nay saying around here got to me and I lowered it to 24M. Always knew it should be good for 25-30 tho. And it could go higher, although this will certainly have one of the smallest IM for it's OW this year. Super curious to see the Father's Day effect this year. And even with all these openers, I'm most excited to see WW's #.
  14. nomyth
    MT 1. Cars 3 - 27% 2. WW - 26.9% 3. All Eyez on Me - 13.5% 4. CU - 5.5% 5. The Mummy - 4.6% The Mummy is gonna be in for an epic drop this weekend. Lucky it'll get a Father's Day boost. Although, that may just mean two 60%+ drops two weeks in a row.
  15. nomyth
    The fact that WW is still #1 on MT with 30% bodes very well for its hold this weekend. All Eyez is still poised to outperform expectations imo. I think it can match or top Notorious's adjusted 24M OW. Not really feeling the 30+ I was thinking a couple weeks ago but I'm expecting a big Friday gross with a weekend total close to 30.
  16. nomyth
    Better than I expected. Curious to see if audience WOM is as bad as it is with critics.
  17. nomyth
    Fantastic drop! 60M second week confirmed?!
  18. nomyth
    Double post
  19. nomyth
    Yeah, that 60M # is wacky. Don't know how they come up with that. I still think there's a chance it comes close to 50% drop for the weekend. But my guess is that it has a slightly underwhelming Friday followed by a larger than expected Sat jump on strong Sun hold. My (optimistic) expectation has been about Fri - 13.76 (up about 55% over an 8.6M Thurs) Sat - 21.33 (+55%) Sun - 15.36 (-28%) 50.45 weekend and down just 51%
  20. nomyth
    My prediction for this weekend haven't changed at all. Wasn't a 35% drop always expected?
  21. nomyth
    Agreed. I wasn't sure for a while if Rough Night had some potential but it's shaping up to be another comedy misfire at the box office.
  22. nomyth
    I've been saying things are looking good for All Eyez but it seems to be flying under the radar here. I've been thinking it could get 30M or so for a while. It's been popping up fairly consistently on Pulse for some time. I bet it blows up on ticket sales next week.
  23. nomyth
    Lol, well that's where I'm currently at. Mega or regular? We'll have to see how buzz builds (if any) this week.
  24. nomyth
    Thanks guys! I don't really know what to make of The Mummy yet. I've always smelled a disappointment for it but it's tough to gauge just exactly how far the brand recognition and Cruise's star power will get it. Tbh, I could see it making sub 30M.
  25. nomyth
    I'm very curious to see how The Mummy builds on presales this week. It barely pops up on Pulse. I'm pretty sure it's selling like a ticket a minute. It's crazy it's gonna be in 4000 theaters tho. Does anyone know the lowest opening for a film in 4,000+ theaters?
