Fantastic Beasts  ￥10.5M /510M (-71%)

 TGW is opening on the third weekend of Your Name ,and its not the only big local release for pre-Christmas weekend.  

Your Name won't make much after the 15th, it may be lucky to retain 8% screens for that weekend.

TGW?

nice prediction for Fantastic Beasts!!  You won that category this week out of 36 people

Thanks. I guess I am lucky when it comes to Harry Potter.

Lol, my worst derby ever.

Great, I go up 2 spots.

FWIW, I do think GG2 might miss $200m DOM. The first movie was very enjoyable but seemed like a one-shot kind of novelty thing to me, not sure they can recapture that same magic. Sure, the OW will be strong as it rides the wave of goodwill created by the first movie, but legs might shrivel quickly.

 

Might make a club on that but not sure yet. 

Iron Man 2 would like to have a word with you.

[Weekend Estimates: Ant-Man 58.04 | Minions 50.24 | Trainwreck 30.24 | IO 11.66 | JW 11.36 (Page 88)]

I am confused here. 56M is low? How?

[Monday Actuals: Minions 12.9M (-58%)]

Agree. And don't forget, IO was the first Pixar film, not to hit #1 on OW.

Basing judgement on ranking is a fallacy, since ranking is entirely based on competition, and there are many more factors to box office gross than competition.

[Monday Actuals: Minions 12.9M (-58%)]

I think IMDB and Cinemascore are more reliable because they measure feedback of those who actually saw the movie (cinemascore is a better polling system though not such a huge sample)

You are wrong about Imbd, you can vote there months before a film is released and it'd count.

[The Anime Thread- Summer 2015]

I implore any anime watchers here to watch Steins;Gate. Probably the best time travel story I've seen anywhere including books and other media. It just requires a lot of patience to go through for the first half, when it is basically setting things up. After you finish the series though, probability that it'll be in your top 10 list is over 95%.

[Tuesday Actuals: Jurassic World - 13.13M | Inside Out 13.04M]

Ah, long time no see, BOT. 

 

Btw, people who are thinking 900m+ OS is the floor for SW7, you are mistaken. Obviously its possible it can make that much, but considering SW is nowhere near as popular as some franchises like the Avengers and even Transformers and they also just barely managed near 900m with recent titles, 900m is nowhere near locked for SW.

They're all populist movies, I'm pretty sure everyone here has seen at least 90 of them.

 

 

I've seen 91 I think. 

Yep, me 91 too.

I propose a top 10 movies by decade. At least a lot of good ol' movies will show their faces.

Mockingjay 100%

I'd like to invest in Mockingjay, but this is using money? (Such as Paypal, credit card, etc?)

No, virtual and fake money, you start with 100m. Think of Monopoly. You gain nothing in return in the real world from this game except the satisfaction playing.

No Nov investment threads, so I'm posting here for now.
