Damn it. Above $25 mill might be hard now

Don't expect that much of a contribution from this market in term of OS BO tbh. Still I can see the final total at around $15 mill-$25 mill (I'm more on a conservative-not that bullish side right now). It bit conflicting is 1) All the MCU and hollywood franchise movies post 2015 (thats year when Hollywood tentpoles starting witnessing huge business tipping over coveted 15mill USD mark here, they were few) have been in sorta downward trajectory maybe because of the overperformance of 2015 with Ultron,JW and F7 but anyhow all phase 3 movies they missed that mark and settled with a respectable 10 to 13+/-0.5 mill usd (and most hollywood action imports which have favourable screen count/distribution in general). 2) Fuck it , this the most hyped movie of the decade coz we all know Avatar sequel aint making it before 2020 and every Avengers movie has managed to be the top hollywood grosser here at the time of their respective release date. And going by the infinite hype train and advent of online ticket booking it can go as big as $35-$40 mill and dethroning Jungle Book for the crown(that maybe too far off coz that worked as a 4-quad family film with higher amount of marketing than usual but its only IW that can challenge it)

40-55cr is my bet (or it explodes with 75-85cr)

That was resolved last year

Its the squeaky pipe demon from the first Conjuring movie

Also is there a 1 week delay ?

Right thread ?? https://deadline.com/2018/04/warner-bros-melissa-mccarthy-comedy-superintelligence-michael-b-jordan-just-mercy-1202373177/ In addition, the studio set a date for an untitled ConjuringUniverse film, which will be bow July 3, 2019. No other details on that, but the New Line franchise’s spinoff The Nun will bow September 13 this year.

I am talking about actual tickets availability for the opening weekend but whatever

And what makes you think that the native fans in HK will just rest and let their mainland guest take all their hot seats of the premiere in their own hood like a good guest Hell no

Better , they will milk the cameo in the SHazam trailer there.

Please remind the competition , local or otherwise (Ultron had identical release date iir)

They know that those guys aren't showing them the movie until everybody else has seen it 3 week before right ?

Ok this was the actual reason behind why the Oscar winner Suicide Squad worked. You can botch the story but if you sell the characters and the dynamics right enough you get few more chance to make further amends in cinematic universes. Which is why there is still some hope left with the SS sequel and a Justice League sequel (granted DCEU can mostly work out with solo outing , which looking at the bigger picture they actually have with decent to great results in form of Man of Steel and Wonder Woman)

I'm saying that the hot topic crowd will grow out of it. Your platinum certified music album , your Oscar upset , all record breaking harley hot pants and comics sales and all those accolades will lose relevance and might not provide much momentum to the next installment. I too hope the stigma of the first movie is washed off as soon as the 1st trailer of SS 2 is dropped

It'll be close to midnight here and I can say that I'm 10/10 creeped out just by the snapshot

Thats good but I don't want a pacific rim 2 like situation it take them 5 years to capitalize. It will already be closing to 3 years around fall 2019. The only one ik of with the biggest installment gap in recent CBMs that was able to keep the franchise relevant enough/successful was Logan.

Shit is too lucrative/profitable to not justify a sequel. Suicide Squad is one of the most profitable brands to happen for WB' and their bid to farm IPs in the recent years

We got a Superman-ish movie last year. It was Justice League.

2020 BOP, SS 2/Flashpoint , Batman. AND New Gods, elseworld Joker movie. GL gets slightly delayed from it's 4 years in advance placeholder spot.

Lol Bad Boys with Will Smith ain't happening it's either salvaged as TV show or get the Independence Day sequel treatment.

Its made by Mac from Its always Sunny(also made by him) so maybe.....

It has an A- cinema score I guess people loved it

Its arrival is nearer than you think

this is partly made with Chinese production so my bet is it makes up for that with the extensive creature feature element (China loves big monster, never count that out). So it partially an underwater Jurassic World too imo.

Hardly matters if he's covered from head to toe for the rest of his screen time in the film
