165M is pretty much impossible.

 

kids these days love violence. They will flock to this. lol

[baumer]

Btw, how do you figure that 155m = +350m? Not trying to put you on the spot or anything. Just curious and want to learn.

 

It's just taking the multipliers for other frontloaded sequels, like some of the Potters and Twilights.

Just wanna say the titles of this thread have been hilarious. Bad Tele.

It's going to do about 45-48 mill today.  Naturally there will be matinee sellouts.

What are you thinking for Sunday?

Why can't CF do the same multipler than hunger games? The hunger games had multipler of a sequel no first movie.

I don't think people realize how massive the movie is only because it will end the weekend with 145-155M. Even if only does 40M Sat (which I don't believe, I think it will do at least 45M), it is still a huge number. Of course there will be sellouts!

No, THG had a multiplier of a first movie. Not a sequel. A sequel would end with 340-350M of a 150M OW.

Whatever it does today I think it drops 31.3% on Sunday.

I forgot a out the post Thanksgiving drop. And then of course there is the Hobbit, and then a bunch of films on Christmas...

Post drop won't happen till the 7th of December due to the calendar falling te way it does. John Marsters is being obsessively negative for the sake of negative next weekend will have a big drop because of how high it opened but it's the holiday frame whixh will cushion it somewhat.

[ecstasy]

As long as it increases from THG's opening weekend all will be right with the universe.

Well, DH1 had a multiplier of 2.3, and THG had a multiplier of 2.7. CF obviously will not have the same multiplier as its predecessor, but with a thankgiving boost next weekend, and the holidays coming up. a 2.3 multiplier is pretty much a given I'd say. 2.3 x 155 = 356.5m, which is why, if it opened that high, I don't think it'd fall below 350m.

Hunger games had the same multiple of a Harry potter sequel.

I'm curious to see how much Frozen and CF affect each other. CF opening "under" expectations may be good news for it considering their overlapping female audiences.

[Jim Shorts]

Ray says $165m is possible so I say $165m is possible!!

 

Ray is such a hipster.  I bet he wears slim fit jeans.

[B J]

Hoping for 50m or more today. Finger crossed

[Heretic]

Ray is worse than deadline with calculations. 

[narniadis]

So that 70.5 is awesome - particularly compared to some numbers from yesterday. Great for Frozen as well - hoping it can out open Tangled. Terrible for delivery man .

[CoolioD1]

He's also a massive racist. No one trust Ray!
