Wknd Estimates: Nolan = 50M | BH6 = 56M+(pg 72) (who cares, our forum lives!)

[Heretic]

Really? I thought with Nolan's name attached that 50M was possible with Latin America underperforming big time as well than 400M OS might not be possible. 

Well, it is opening just a tad lower than Gravity and Inception,  but I highly doubt it's gonna have the legs those films had.

lol...so now we're going after MM's Lincoln ads?

 

Guys, this is a good opening.  

Repeat...it is a good opening.

It's the Noloonies who had ridiculous expectations.  

 

I agree it's a good opening but people were looking for great opening, hence the doom and gloom.

Obviously the GA sees him as a mere mortal, but Nolanites beg to differ.

 

Doubt the GA even sees him. Certainly not by name alone. He's still a "From the director of Batman" director, and not, say, "From James Cameron" or "From Steven Spielberg" director.

[baumer]

Sure, but when you're a fan you prefer to assume the best-case scenario

 

Yes, I get this.  My original prediction for Crystal Skull was 300 mill.  I even had the logic down to a science.  I stated that IJ was never quite as popular as SW so there is no way it would gross what a SW did.  Then about a month before it opened, I got all loonie and predicted 400 mill.  When the OD number came in, i was reaching for the defibrillator.

I disagree.  People know Nolan's name.  They know who he is.

@TheShawnRobbins: #Interstellar Friday box office includes $4.6m from IMAX (27% share); $1.9m from other large format screens (11%) ... "B+" CinemaScore

@TheShawnRobbins: #Interstellar audience skewed considerably adult... only 25% aged 25 and under. 52% male/48% female

 

That is a most impressive male/female ratio. Cynics proven wrong that this was heavily skewed towards males. The high female ratio will be interesting for legs.

 

Also a very massive IMAX ratio. IMAX could be the key factor for legs too.

You know what? F**k Interstellar!

 

On to the next one. May 15, 2015.

Only my movie loving friends know who he is. I most adults have no idea who he is.

Well, a lot of my friends, none of whom are movie nerds, know the name.

All movies until end of June should move out of there way for the Avengers 2.

I'm thinking Mad Max will do poorly regardless of the release date, unfortunately. But yeah, it'd be wise to stay as far away from TA2 as possible.

That's the spirit!

[GuardiaStar]

Do you think Jurassic World will be affected by TA2? It comes out in June right?

[Kvikk Lunsj]

So Avengers 2 OD > Interstellar Domestically?

Mad Max is a flop in the making. It would be best just move out of summer. I think September will be a good release date for it. 

[baumer]

OD?  That's impossible.  

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Do you think Jurassic World will be affected by TA2? It comes out in June right?

Yes

Avengers will still be huge and people will be comparing to TA2. 

[Dementeleus]

OD?  That's impossible.

Even for a computer.
