Cheddar Please

I've always been of the opinion that this film is being affected by its runtime, so it's gonna be more weekend heavy than RO. That's why I predicted a $67m 2nd weekend yet still believe anything north of $650m is strictly off the table at this point

I thought his prediction was 57m lol that wouldn't be surprising

well if XXR is correct, this post is well...

The prediction pendulum is gonna swing back again

My boldest prediction of 2023 is that TFA is going down to some movie that no one is predicting as of yet

For reference, TGM is sitting at $256m

I don't like it when BOT promises me nice round numbers and I don't get them

not disagreeing, I was talking about the 29.5m sunday estimate, b/c BOT was tracking 30m+ last night

I still remember Charlie's $38m monday for NWH that ppl were sure would correct with the actuals and never materialized

Based on my experience with holiday estimates, they have this weird thing where they keep issuing "estimates" through the entire holiday period and only correct to actuals after the New Year. I remember NWH estimates coming in below BOT numbers and ppl were like "it'll come up with the actuals" and behold the actuals come New Year were basically the same as the estimates

Disney just go home

Is $29.5 close to the final number? b/c I remember ppl saying that it was definitely coming over $30m

All I can say is that my $67m weekend prediction was looking pretty toast on Friday, but I'm glad I stuck to it!

Indeed they are

Given the Saturday figure we just got this seems ridiculously low

While I agree that NWH was the high water mark in terms of Spider-Man BO, I feel like the one-two punch of Spiderverse and NWH has really elevated the Spider-Man brand to new heights in terms of popular reception. Combined with Sony's push for cinemas (due to their lack of a proper streaming service), I do see future Spider-Man titles easily gunning for some of the highest grosses of the year going forwards

yeah but this guy is blatantly trolling

I'm not sure if you noticed, but this is a Box Office forum, so if you want to keep talking about how cinema's days are numbered, this ain't the forum for you

14.5 lives

I agree, people forget just how atrocious ROs post holiday legs were. This film couldn't even manage 5 full weeks above $1m, not to mention falling $11m behind TLK despite being ahead coming out of the holidays

I want numbers, not weather forecasts

I'm sorry to tell you, but

I'm personally bearish on OS and bullish on DOM for A2. I feel like 600m is still reasonably likely if it can continue to outpace RO in dallies given how awful RO's post holiday legs were, and even 700m is on the cards at this time given the uncertainty. On the other hand, it's still tracking about the same as NWH in OS dallies atm, and that movie had really good legs overseas on account of Omicron spacing out its grosses in several countries, so I don't see more than 1.1B overseas. Ultimately, I think you'll see this movie get much closer to JW numbers and DOM/OS split than people think

Charlie said 14 based on presales so kinda, it's mostly just recycling yesterday joke prediction cuz it's coincidentally close enough
