Call me stupid, sorry, but where on Mojo do you find a list of the all time highest grossing films that opened in October?

I just went to October OW's and scrolled down until I found the highest total gross, which was MTP at $166. Shark Tale was next at $160.

Stunning result. Does anyone know how wealthy David Heyman must be? He probably is the most influential producer in Warner Bros.

Kind of interesting how we have never had a $200M film in October before/

[GiantCALBears]

Shocking how 59% were 35 and older. Thhis is going to have massive legs.

Not at all, Gravity was a critic darling before its release. Avatar didn't get Mostra's praise and so forth. Avatar was that big question-mark more destined to be one of the biggest flops ever made.

 

Before release, Gravity had always that "masterpiece in the making" stamp on it and built its hype on that through festivals and advance screenings presentations setting more and more buzz in motion until the final release. No one had really seen Avatar in its entirety before the release date.

Actually, Avatar had a ton of buzz before its release. Everyone in the industry was dying to see it. It might not have had the best reviews ever but it was the talk of town. Heck, it had over 1000 pages before its release, if I remember correctly. You don't open a film to $77m in December and be an original film unless you have some hype going on.

Why? It makes perfect sense honestly lol

[CJohn]

I don't think this is locked to do 200M, but it has a good chance.

[The Futurist]

Blake Lively was considered for Gravity.

 

[Blankments]

What how?

For limited release movies, I looked at opening weekend in wide release plus any previous gross

Those demo splits lock this in for huge legs, 3.5x+ I'm thinking

[RichWS]

It's nearly impossible to imagine it not breaking 200.

[Heretic]

Anything above $150m is just gravy anyway. The fact 200m is even on the table is astounding

[Jack Nevada]

Do we have a horror movie coming out for halloween?

[CloneWars]

I think $200M is assured. The real question mark is $250M and upwards.

Unfortunately, no Paranormal Activity, only Carrie.
