CJohn Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 This is currently trending on Twitter. Dunno why. Most tweets are a variant of "Wanna see Straight Outta Compton" It has been heavily marketed during tonight's RAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terrific Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The well-behaved, college-town dad demographic will be unusually strong for this. This wasn't just the music of the inner city. This was the music of dudes like me who had no real rebellion in them but recognized Ice Cube as a total genius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC1987 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yeah, the marketing is already pretty much in full swing. This is gonna play like F7 is SoCal as well. They'll probably never say as much, but I bet Universal wants a $50 million OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find me another biopic about any musical group that opened anywhere close to that. In fact, I'm willing to bet that no film about musicians has opened to more than about 20 mill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(http://www.boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=musicbio.htm&sort=opengross&order=DESC&p=.htm) I think this could open to like 30 or something though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the racial tensions with police in America right now this is the right movie at the right time to make huge bucks. 100m+ is coming, bank on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Fixed. I wouldn't go that far, but I can definitely see half that at a 50m OW, though right now I have it in the high 30's, low 40's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Fixed. $100 million+ OW? The best I think Compton can do OW is 8 Mile's OW adjusted. So $65-70 million OW is best case scenario for this IMO. Maybe $75-80 million since Universal's had a great year so far and 2015 has been host to multiple insane breakouts $100 million+ OW would just be ridiculous, though... Even with a 2.3x-2.4x, that would be at least $230-240 million DOM finish! I'd love to see that happen, though, because August looks like it'll be quite sleepy without a breakout.

Jandrew Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Wow mahhayamama, I know you tend to be bullish, on everything, but you're reaching insane territory with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatebiu Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I'd be happy with a $20M OW honestly. Anything above would be great. I'm looking forward to this and anyone who thinks their story is not interesting watch this http://www.youtube.com/embed/lYXOAgO2U_A Edited July 22, 2015 by theultimatebiu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Wow mahhayamama, I know you tend to be bullish, on everything, but you're reaching insane territory with this. I didn't say $65-70 million OW was my predict I just compared it to 8 Mile's OW adjusted , and said that's really the absolute best it can do OW. I know anything over $20 million is a great result for this. I'm thinking $40-45 million OW personally. Maybe $30-35 million if F4 or UNCLE break out somehow. I wouldn't be shocked or upset by $18 million, but I also wouldn't be super-surprised by $58 million, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 This will break out. High 30s OW, maybe even 100m total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
