I want the Thor guy back. He was interesting.

Wow. Can't believe we know the same bizarre troll-ish guy.

 

Yeah, he stanned Thor and hated all the other Avengers. It was fun to watch.

I mean, is there any info about presales amounts? If so, how does that compare to Tarzan and Godzilla. Maybe it'll be somwhere in the middle.

 

This has got to beat Pacific Rim opening numbers. If not, something's wrong. Reviews are positive for the most part... And marketing has really really picked up. If it hits 50m OW, I'll be happy... But obviously want this to do more.

 

If they go beyond GvsKong, budgets will definitely be in check. Overseas and Home Video will easily save the film thank goodness.

He's pretty hard to miss. I want him to be show up for Thor Ragnarok.

Split is the worst 2017 release I've seen (out of five) but even that wasn't half bad, just overhyped (HANNNNN!) Been a pretty good year for movies so far. Last year had a good Feb-April too, though, and summer turned out to be ass. Still, hopefully this adds to the good list!

Not sure if this means anything. By the way, sales have increased to 4%.

 

Still expecting less than $50 million opening though. I checked the website. The Shack has more presales than Kong: Skull Island. Ugh...

40M is the floor for this.  65M is probably the absolute highest it can go though.

[Cookson]

Idk... It's getting a crap load of new Facebook likes today.

 

Truly a unpredictable movie...

[Heat Vision]

I say ends up low 70s on Rotten Tomatoes and makes 450-500 million worldwide.

That would secure Godzilla v Kong, IMO.

I think it's pretty telling that this can't stay on Pulse when Split was on Pulse all day the Tuesday of release. This isn't hitting 40M.

[filmlover]

The 11th hour ad push has been really strong. Still think it could cross $40M for the weekend, even if barely so.

Having seen this last night I can say it's a fun movie, it's never boring, the action is well shot, the action set pieces are well done and there are some impressive monsters. However the plot and characters feel a little dry, John Goodman, Samuel L Jackson and John C Reilly feel like the only ones that get fleshed out. Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson are good but their characters are kind of flat. One problem I feel is that there are way too many characters, you kind of forget who is who. If they weren't played by actors you know, you'd forget who was who.

i still don't think that issue will ruin the overall enjoyment of the movie. It's a shame it's being released around movies like Logan, Get Out and Beauty And The Beast as I'd say people will probably rather see those again than this.

What is this budget? Like $170 million?

Wikipedia has it listed as $190 million, but the source of this information came from Scified....so there's a notable possibility that it's incorrect.

Gotta take the marketplace into account. First Tuesday after a blockbuster opens, with GO performing extraordinarily well, is very different than SPLIT's pre-release week. 

[Lavochkin]

I think Kong is going to be one of those easy to walk into movies. Sure pre-sales might be low, but I'm betting the amount of walk ins will be high. If word of mouth is good it will also help in this regard. 

[Arlborn]

Don't overhype yourself guys, this is staying in the 40-50m range for OW.

Don't tell me what to do.

 

Official prediction: 90M OW 320M total.
