101M. Otherwise not a record, NOT AN EVENT.
-
It needs at least 101m in pre-sales to be an event. Btw, if these pre-sales are exploding to 75m+ numbers, where's all the official announcement and gloating about it like we got last year with TFA's 100m+ figure?
-
But in some cases they still realize quality is necessary for good ROI. The ones where quality doesn't come into play in the decision at all are the cash grabs.
-
Well 70m in pre-sales would certainly be impressive. Have a hard time buying it's only 20% though.
-
I honestly don't get the fuss over the pre-sales though. They're sitting at like 14m right? Compare that to 100m for TFA and we see just how gargantuan the disparity in hype is between the two.
-
Don't worry, I'll be back to stanning for E8. Just don't ask me to be on board that ridiculous 300m OW nonsense.
-
Or is excitement palpatine?
-
What? I'm talking about R1! Who the hell wants to talk about sing right now?
-
I'm clearly having fun dreaming. But do I think 300m is a 100% lock? No. More like 90%.

A $tar war$ ca$h grab Gareth Edwards Queso Not an event
-
Leave Numbers out of this, he's tired of us arguing about him.
-
Nah, give it 20m previews, 20m proper Friday and then a slightly decreased AUJ Sat and Sun.
-
Oh man, missing ESB's 290m gross would be everything I need in life. Mariah, all I want for Christmas is that.
-
All it has to do is open to An Unexpected Journey's OW, or even 5-10m higher and it could miss 300. Unlikely, but hardly impossible.
-
Assuming the cutoff for top 10 ends up around 250m, then that would be disappointing I'll agree. Hardly disastrous though (i.e. unprofitable). Missing the top 8 (<325m) wouldn't be disastrous in the slightest. Still be a huge 700m WW grosser.
-
But in all seriousness though, it can miss the top 8 DOM this year and still be a massive success. Top 9 if Sing still pulls out 300.
-
Lol, it can miss the 2016 top 10 DOM and still be a huge hit for a spin off. That's why expectations for this are way out of whack.
-
If it does more than 30m I'll be willing to talk about 150+ for the weekend. Anything less than that is entirely expected for an SW film and gives us no good indicator of how preview frontloaded it will be.
-
Previews are going to be annoying. No franchise does midnights/previews like Star Wars, and of course this will be no exception. A massive preview number isn't going to tell us jack squat about the rest of the weekend.
-
I didn't realize you were talking SK at first and thought you meant DOM. Was gonna be like it better be doing at least that.
-
Oh god. Now we'll have to deal with the endless "but it would've actually made this" arguments.

Despicable Me 3 | June 30, 2017 | First Trailer on Page 9
MovieMan89 replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Ok, I unabashedly loved that trailer. If it can be that fun and zany throughout then this will easily be Illumination's best to date. Also the lack of Minions in the trailer was a much needed breath of fresh air for the franchise. -
Make a 100m OW feel like 300.
-
I need to see this considering I've been waiting ever since being blown away by Steinfeld in True Grit for her to deliver another amazing performance and it sounds like she does. Hope she sticks to this path instead of the strange Selena Gomez wannabe pop star route she also seems to be going for.
