Holding the same as TA after this weekend gets BP to $697m with an $11.5m weekend. Now granted it will start having some real competition and it lacks the summer weekdays TA had by that point, but it still has held way stronger than TA so far so it should be able to get to 700. Hoping for a 707m finish personally, just cause it's kind of a cool number and it gets the 3.5x multi on the dot. Will be interesting to see what it does IW weekend. Have a feeling that could help it not hurt it since I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being a lot of people's first backup choice for IW sell out spillover. Or Disney could do IW/BP double features that weekend.

It's unlikely to beat SA's total because of IW and it being a frontloaded genre anyways, but I can see a bigger OW. -
Well that's true, the pop culture references themselves skew very 80's, which could be a bit odd for a concept that otherwise seems like it would be a teen boy's fangasm. The movies are his ones I'd consider popcorn flicks, blockbusters in the spirit of the term not necessarily in budget or success. Saving Private Ryan or Lincoln were huge successes, but definitely wouldn't group them in that category.

If RPO isn't a teenage boy's fangasm turned into a $200 million dollar film, than I don't know what it is. Not that I'm knocking it for being that mind you, but yeah wide casual appeal will be very surprising to me. Anyways, Spielberg blockbuster/popcorn flicks rankings anyone? 1. Raiders of the Lost Ark 2. Jurassic Park 3. Jaws 4. E.T. 5. Minority Report 6. Temple of Doom 7. Ready Player One 8. The Last Crusade 9. Tintin 10. Close Encounters 11. The BFG 12. War of the Worlds 13. The Lost World 14. Hook 15. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Back from RPO. Movie is a lot of fun for anyone that probably fits the demo that we all do here (movie/pop culture buffs). Spielberg’s most enjoyable big budget flick for me since Minority Report, no contest. Wasn’t convinced however that the movie is widely appealing to a casual audience - or more importantly, females in general. Ive said the marketing has looked so geeky, and that’s because the film absolutely is through and through. One of the geekiest big budget films I’ve ever seen, and I’m including the Wachowski’s films in that statement. Will be interesting to see what kind f a multi it has.

It's Black Adam or bust as far as that goes. -
Top Grossing Movies of 2019 Predicts

That's way too high of expectations. 325-425 should be the range depending on which way the WOM goes. I fail to see how or why it would beat the first adjusted by that much. It will be virtually impossible to replicate the cultural imprint the first built as its run went on. OW frontloading could be big as far as animation goes. Btw, the Frozen short in front of Coco is what I mean by a lot of non-kids at least being tired of the whole thing these days. That got a nasty backlash with the GA. And I do agree the whole craze has become too female centric for a lot of little boys to be as interested in it as they may have been the first. -
Its fate is pretty up in the air at this point. It's already acting more frontloaded with previews than G.I. Joe, which had a 4 day multi of 2.39x. Even something like 55-60m for the 4 day would give it $130-145m with G.I. Joe's multi. From that it would need a solid $300m OS to be profitable with that budget. At this point it could still be a bomb, breakeven, or be a big breakout success. Way too soon to tell.
