Can't see it sustaining this weekend too, MI:6 is looking too hot ATM. Think it'll top out at ~90M DOM. OS is also not going to be too different. 175M WW is my prediction for this.

I hope Peyton Reed has purged his twitter a/c clear of old unwanted tweets so that he can become the 1st MCU director to direct a trilogy

sorry ... wrong thread

Ant Man And The Wasp has scored at the box office with a pretty good first day of 5.25-5.50 crore nett which is similar to the collections of Black Panther which had more hype though the release in India of Ant Man And The Wasp was a little wider than Black Panther. The Hollywood released had the highest collections on the Friday beating Soorma and Sanju. There is big growth for this Marvel branded cinema in India as the last Ant Man released in 2015 grossed 8 crore nett and this one will beat that one in 2 days flat. It still remains to be seen if the film actually works with the audience but with a start like this it is pretty much assured success from a purely commercial point of view. https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4107 Massive success for MCU in India once again. It did double of what I thought it would do on Friday. Absolutely Humungous.

We are really grasping at straws here . I really like Daddario and especially love "THE DADDARIOS" *cough True Detective cough*. But she's not a star who can sell a movie. If she did , her movie with Kate Upton wouldn't have tanked. Moreover she was with Rock in Baywatch as well and we all know how that turned out.

Great start for AMATW in OS markets. Locks up atleast 450M and may even do ~500 depending on China. So-so start in US-CAN but Summer weekdays will definitely help just like they helped first Ant Man and SMH . Expecting 2.7-2.8 Multiplier for ~210M DOM finish.

Sanju Heads Towards Becoming Biggest HIT Of 2018 Sanju is heading to becoming the biggest HIT of the year as it grosses 39 crore nett on Saturday as per early estimates. This takes its two day business to 73 crore nett but its the demographics of the collections which suggest the biggest HIT of 2018. The tests will come on Monday and second Friday but the trend suggests it is set for a huge run. The growth is 15% but that is not an issue as its more about where its coming from since yesterday morning. Some places opened with shows at 8-9k and now are treble that. The film is the sort where its not expected to get 2 crore nett in Rajasthan on Saturday but that is what has happened. If not 2 crore nett then very close which for this film is simply crazy. The metros where it was expected to be huge are huge but the bonus is the B centre multiplexes which normally do not come on board so fast for these type of social dramas. It started with Sanju on day one. A similar genre like Dangal started behaving well in these places post the weekend in the Xmas period. Mumbai city was a huge 3.15 crore nett on day one while Delhi city was 2.85 crore nett. These are non Bahubali records for day one. https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4072

The opening of SANJU is absolutely gigantic. ~35cr Friday won't surprise me. This is going to be the biggest Blockbuster of Ranbir Kapoor's career. WOM and reviews are not as good as previous Hirani films but even that is still better than 99% Bollywood movies so it should still cross 300cr nett at the Indian B.O and 20M+ foreign. This 20M doesn't include China because I have no idea how it'll do there.

Very solid for O8 too. I2 jumped 50% plus from yesterday which doesn't happen often for movies in summer. AIW took a bit of a hit but that was expected with JW:FK opening.

so 2.5*146 is ~300 as per deadline. Deadline and maths - still a better love story than Twilight 2.6*146 = 380M should happen

Fallen Kingdom Strong - Incredibles 2 Decent Start Jurassic World - Fallen Kingdom is doing very well at the box office and has performed better at the box office than the recent Hindi films be it Parmanu - The Story Of Pokhran, Veere Di Wedding or Race 3. Its the same story in terms of appreciation well with Jurassic World - Fallen Kingdom sustaining well despite Race 3 releasing in its second week. The business will 20 crore nett better than Parmanu - the Story Of Pokhran and around 5 crore nett better than Veere Di Wedding as it probably finish in the 82-84 crore nett range for its lifetime business. The business will be lower than Race 3 but that is an under performer and not been liked by the audience The collections of Jurassic World - Fallen Kingdom till date are as follows Week One - 52,18,00,000 Second Week - 17,50,00,000 apprx Friday - 1,25,00,000 apprx TOTAL - 70,93,00,000 apprx The Hollywood animation film Incredibles 2 took a good start with business in the 3.75-4 crore nett range. The Incredibles which was released in 2004 and had Shahrukh Khan dubbing for a character did 2.50 crore lifetime business. https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4050 Edit - I2's 1st day business = 1.5x TI's Lifetime total.

The Hollywood film Incredibles 2 has done pretty well and could notch up a higher number than Race 3 at around 4 crore nett which is good for an animation film in India. https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4048 4cr nett ~5.2cr gross = $0.8M TI did .75M lifetime total in India so it has flown past that in 1 day. Highest grossing animated movie in India is Tintin with $5M (data may vary slightly). I2 will become the highest grossing animated in India as WOM is through the roof. Jack-jack is an absolute crowd favorite.

Me after reading last 4-5 pages of this thread :-

First bad number for I2 relatively speaking. @baumer may win his under 87.5M I2 2nd weekend bet. The force is with him with this thursday number.

That's a great number for JW2. 9x previews is pretty much given considering how walk up friendly these movies are, so I am going ahead with 140M OW prediction.

Even the sex thread? His comments there are hillarious

It is the dumbest movie I have ever seen, period and that includes F&F and Transformer movies. Some of the decisions that characters take at different times in this movie is mind numbing and beggars belief. Those who have seen this movie probably know what I am talking about. Having said this, the opening 10 minutes are tremendous and there's one other moment in this movie which is very sad. It's going to move you a bit. Overall , I'll blame the writers more than anything else.
