Damn I did not see it being this bad. I was thinking $120m opening weekend and it’s gonna be 30% less than that.
Its crazy to think this movie will do literally half of Rogue One, worldwide.
When she said it wouldn't do $200m opening I said she didn't understand box office very well. Then yesterday I tweeted her a screenshot of Gavin saying it had made $148m the first 2 days.
1) It borders China.
2) It's box office is small and mostly unnoticed.
3) Did you see the comment I replied to? It's about using a smaller country to fudge the numbers to make sure we get over $200m
RTH says $27m and Empire says $28.5m so I'm gonna hope for the latter but go with the former until I know better lol
16 + 27 + 18 = 61m
$547m in 17 days. If it follow AOU from here out we get to $675m. CW gets us to $643m. GOTG2 takes us to $707m and TA1 leads us to $746m.
I'm sticking with my $660m prediction given the onslaught of huge openers thats coming.
From one country? Definitely not. I believe the record is either FF8 Saturday or IW yesterday (including MN). It's very close between them depending on IW's actuals.
Just going off last weekend which had a lighter Saturday (most likely due to Cinco de Mayo) and a stronger Sunday, it's held pretty close to BP so far. I'm think roughly $28m Saturday and $18m Sunday for about $62m.
Seems about right but I'm hoping for a bit more. BP did $16.2m Friday and finished at $66.3 million for the weekend. If it holds at $15.5m then I'm hoping for about $63m on the weekend.
