AJG Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I wonder how many stories I'll hear of people getting killed at this movie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 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 30m is locked and yes you can quote me on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travod Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I did not just see this movie so I wouldn't know if it felt a little too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 If it opens to 30 that'll be about 30% higher than any other musical biopic. But i think it will too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Saw the trailer before the Amy Winehouse doc, people were really feeling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser3 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 There is enough awareness out there enough to get this around 25-30 million OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I did not just see this movie so I wouldn't know if it felt a little too long. Holy shit this has a 150 minute runtime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Holy shit this has a 150 minute runtime? Again, I didn't see it today. But if I were to guess I would say that there's probably a lot of fat that could be cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Goddamn. I mean I know it's a biopic and there's a lot of stuff to be covered about NWA (especially with Eazy-E) but that's long as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) My prediction is opening day: 15 Saturday: 10 Sunday: 7 34 OW Total: 60 Edited July 24, 2015 by baumer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TStechnij Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 My prediction is opening day: 15 Saturday: 10 Sunday: 7 34 OW Total: 60 Is this a joke? I think I might be too dense lol. A 1.76 multiplier would be pitiful especially since most of us think this will score with critics. It is probably a joke and I fell for the trap. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Its not a joke. Im basing it off Notorious and giving it a bit better multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Its not a joke. Im basing it off Notorious and giving it a bit better multiplier. I'd bet you anything it'll have at least a 2, probably 2.5. I see this being more in the 8 Mile form then Notorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Just out of curiosity, Matt, why? Do u think the audience for this will be more diverse? Im not criticizing, im curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Just out of curiosity, Matt, why? Do u think the audience for this will be more diverse? Im not criticizing, im curious. There hasn't been an African American centric film all summer long. Usually by now there's been a Tyler Perry movie or at least something to satisfy the audience. Also I expect this to receive really good reviews so even if it doesn't diversify its audience much, people will go again. I've been saying this for months, but this movie is exactly in the right place at the right time as Fahrenheit 9/11 was. With all the racial tensions in the US between police and people of colour this is one of those movies to capitalize on the zeitgeist of emotions right now. I don't even view this as an autobiography and I'm pretty sure most others don't either just by watching the trailer Those are my thoughts anyways. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
