ecstasy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hey, my final prediction was 43. Over 50? I tip my hat if you had that early. LOL Not that early. A couple of weeks ago. Though I probably never made an official prediction. I made the comment in the buzz and tracking thread somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The soundtrack was huge in building interest. Can't be understated. It's like the Moulin Rouge soundtrack + the huge popularity of a classic book + DiCaprio = Holy crap, how did we not see that opening coming?We all forgot how much of a draw Dicaprio is as a romantic lead. The soundtrack and fans of the book added a lot to this opening but I think Dicaprio was the #1 pull. He's an A-list draw like few others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was solely DiCaprio, all his movies would open to $50m+. And yet only Inception will top this OW for him. The marketing has made this look flashy, intriguing, romantic, dramatic, and showcased the great soundtrack on top of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Nikki reports early numbers: http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/the-great-gatsby-overperforms-for-3-250-late-shows-breaking-record-for-female-driven-films/ FRIDAY 1:30 PM UPDATE: My sources now say Warner Bros‘ The Great Gatsby still “looks great” with today’s opening estimates ranging from $13M-$15M inside the studio to a high of at least $16M from rival majors. The weekend is looking as big as high $40sM. Pic is already is a record-breaker, doing more Thursday 10 PM / Friday midnight business from approximately 2,000 theaters than three other recent female-driven films. I’ve learned that early matinees today are very strong with lots of pre-sales, too, as the lush 3D drama expands into 3,535 locations (including over 3,000 3D locations in the mix) this opening weekend. The studio would be thrilled with a $35M debut but rival studios expect more.“Wouldn’t be surprised with $40+M to make it a horse race with Iron Man 3,” says a rival studio exec. Another thinks it has a “real shot’ at $50M. Edited May 10, 2013 by grim22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 13-16m OD? That's BS, it'll get a 20 OD no problem. Buzz and sellouts are already too big for it not to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 13-16 would still get it to mid 40s this weekend. That's perfectly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I say AT LEAST 18 today, and maybe even up in the low 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
