Regardless of WOM, those previews pretty much guarantee a double digit opening for Hereditary. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Friday close to 6-7

 

Given the weird times, I’d say that Oceans number puts it in the same position as Ghostbusters going into the weekend. Obviously comps aren’t easy but I’m going to guess 43M until we get a Friday number

I feel like Oceans will skew older and be a bit less frontloaded than Ghostbusters. I think high 40’s could happen.

The preview number pretty much guarantees that Oceans opens above 40 million and most likely in the same range as Ghostbusters. I knew people were getting carried away with the sub 40 predictions.

Not since Black Panther have I left something and gone "People are gonna LOVE this movie," but here we go

Yep, I think WOM on this will be great. I see it being very leggy.

Blake Lively's career is interesting, she keeps getting lead roles without any marquee hits on her resume. A rarity these days

 

The Shallows and Age of Adeline were modest hits, no?

I’d argue that Hathaway and Cate are bigger than Damon was when Oceans 11 came out, he’d only had two hits. 

Fair point on Damon, I agree. I don’t think Cate Blanchett is an actual box office draw, though. Probably just Bullock and Hathaway (to a lesser extent) of the cast here.

45 million would be excellent. Bullock is the only megastar here whereas the others had Clooney, Pitt, Damon and Julia Roberts.

I saw this last summer at a test screening and it was fucking awesome. Might be my favorite shark movie since Jaws. I gotta say that I don’t feel like this trailer accurately represented the tone of the film. It’s definifely not Sharkado with a 150 million dollar budget. It’s more Deep Blue Sea than Sharkado.

Most movies based on YA books end up with a few hardcore stans I guess.

I’m a long time browser and a Mandy Moore fan. It just seemed like an appropriate time to join with her current career resurgence.

I don’t know... This was moved from September to summer which I take as a sign of confidence, and the trailer already has nearly 3 million views. I think this may not bomb?
