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

[Orestes]

Seems like its still a good number for BH6.

[grim22]

But hasn't that been BH6's number pretty much all day? It was good earlier. Now its disappointing? LOL

 

I was expecting it to grow and reach around 17.5 or so because that was what Lorax did. With a 16M Friday, I think a 55-58M weekend is in store which is middle of the road in terms of animated movies, and actually puts WDAS back around WiR levels post Frozen. Thanksgiving weekend competition for BH6 is much higher than what WiR faced, Rise of Guardians had flopped but doesn't look like Penguins will be a disaster.

Good for BH6, but sucks Interstellar # went down.

Hopefully, Rth gives us a better # later.

[kitik]

@giteshpandya: Source puts #BigHero6 at about $16M FRI, #Interstellar at $17M. Wknd shd be high 50s for #Baymax, near $50M for space pic.

 

 

RIP Interstellar

That INTERSTELLAR number doesn't seem… awful? It seems decent if you didn't have high expectations.

what would a nolanite be without high expectations?

Well okay. Don't know what to say about this, lol.

Dunno. This movie was being touted as being a billion dollar grosser. I myself couldn't get behind the hype because the trailers looked boring as fuck, and the movie itself looked to be too preachy.

Literally only a few people actually believed that and most of them were doing it for the sake of doing it, not because they actually thought that Interstellar could make that much.

 

Most expectations were around 500 to 600m worldwide.

I'm just going to go ahead and prematurely admit big time defeat BO-prediction wise. Tele's club has a very realistic chance of succeeding, and clearly my hopes for a big, 4-quad film are pure fantasy.

[Warhorse]

So does that mean then when there is a military film and they are like "we hit the base at 15:00 hours guys", are Americans all like "wtf time is that!?" lol

No! Americans do know how to tell those times, since when punching in and out of work goes by those times!

[AniNate]

"Preachiness" really isn't an issue as far as the film's content goes. But it is far more cerebral than I was expecting it to be.

 

I can definitely understand why more may have decided to see Big Hero 6, having seen both.

[rockNrollaDIM]

So it's a race for the weekend? Or does BH6 come on top handily?

[#ED]

Well 50M+ was the goal. We were just hoping 60M+.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Ohhhh... Seeing new numbers, Hero runs away with it.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I just hope Interstellar can at least make a 150m domestic finish. It such a good movie. 

[kitik]

Well 50M+ was the goal.

 

 

[teardropmina]

still waiting for Rth though, will he bring in the last nail?
