I’m not a big fan of Rian Johnson (not because of TLJ fyi before y’all jumping on me), but since he identified himself as a diehard Agatha Christie fan, and drawing influence from her works for this movie, I’m inclined to stan now.

4PM? What the fuck?! These studios are just too much, keep getting more and more ridiculous with these Thu releases. At this rate, soon we’ll be like UK and have 7-day Opening weekend lol.

Wait what? Isn’t Cocho perma-banned?

Watched it today. It’s a cute movie. My little cousins enjoyed it and all had a good time so that’s enough for me. Hope it’s holding solid enough in the upcoming weeks.

85M would put the sequel jump from original for AM2 in the same ballpark as GOTG>GOTG2, but 95M would be an incredible increase, easily MCU best. Both JW2 and I2 holding well. Gonna be a good weekend.

Should be around $925-935M by this Sunday. So 1B sometimes next weekend, Sat most likely.

Same. Don’t listen to @aabattery and co. We are the ones who have the right opinion about JP3. And they know it, they just don’t want to accept it.

The cast is a delight! They made the movie less boring than it actually was. Major work needs to be put on the script and directions. Hopefully they’ll do that with the sequel. B-

This movie is just really...inert and boring. I don’t ask for much with human characters in creatures/monsters movies; but they should be at least serviceable. All the human characters in FK ranged from annoying to nonsensical. Script was mediocre, and actions were subpar. Only highlight was some good tension building in the mansion, but then it also fizzled out pretty quickly. Not much worse or better than its predecessor JW, but that one at least had an novelty hook of an operating park. This one is just empty and void of excitement. C- I guess (JP3 remains the best JP sequel and seems like that won’t change anytime soon)

9.2M total with 3M in previews means 6.2M debut weekend, around what @Fullbuster projected. $25M+ finish?

I think Dom can manage to get to 215M. And OS-Japan 155M. Needs ~30M from Japan.

106.7M OS this weekend is including China’s second weekend. OS-China should be around 70M or so. And considering it just opened in some new markets, 2.5x that 70M should be doable. So you’re not really that far off with the projection (just off of the wrong number lol)

I am ready for more mustache modeling!

That’s simply not true. Aside from different in exchange rates, unlike US, many countries actually track BO both in monetary gross and admissions. We have actual figures in several countries where admissions increase (some substantially) going from TA to IW. And how does BO growth in China over the years means IW is staying flat from TA? That doesn’t make any sense.

Oh wow this thread... We do desperately need numbers

According to BOM, it’s at 466M OS up to Thursday. 170M China 296M OS-China With domestic weekend and openings in Latin America countries, worldwide total by Sunday should be within the range of 680M-720M

Looks like the most exciting thing I missed in this thread since yesterday night was the Tree’s ban. Dude seems to have issues lol. The numbers all seem seem pretty standard. Nothing exciting.

It’s pretty incredible how the previews and FSS numbers for TA and JW running almost identical to each other. But yeah, you’re right. All the 200M+ opener have great Sunday holds. Spillover effects and them record headlines on early Sundays sure help.

Denial and confusion is still deep with you on this one huh? It’s ok. We’ll keep working on it. I got you.

So is Fallen Kingdom better/worse than JP3 (aka best JP sequel)?@4815162342 @aabattery

12M would be eh. I think it’ll end closer to 14M.

One simply doesn’t consider JL. Actually, seems like everyone didn’t consider JL.

What’s the worst drop off in OW for a direct sequel to 150M+ opener? Was it the Mockingjay Part 1 drop from Catching Fire?

It’s ok. Don’t shout. You know I love ya lol.
