stripe Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 After the best wednesday drop in the top10, it manages to have a solid Thursday increase... Man, AS is going to smash people's expectations! 60m second weekend here we go! 18m friday is the floor, IMHO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I said it in the Wednesday thread...even if it follows a shitty film like Jack Ryan it will do close to 60 mill this weekend. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This ain't going below $50 million this weekend. $60 million seems likely tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killimano3 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) If this gets a 7.8M on Thursday then assuming it follows the jumps and drops of the films below it will end up at these numbers for the weekend: Ride Along - 95.2M Cloverfield - 59.5M Taken 3 - 65.8M Lone Survivor - 60.8M The Devil Inside - 72.6M Green Hornet - 86.1M Book of Eli - 60.0M Paul Blart - 131.9M (lol) Gran Torino - 60.8M Black Hawk Down - 65.8M Mama - 92.9M Big Momma's House 2 - 105.9M Along Came Polly - 87.2M Underworld: Evolution - 63.9M Underworld: Awakening - 62.6M Taken - 79.5M Zero Dark Thirty - 67.3M Contraband - 59.6M So from the top 20 openers for January there are only 2 examples where it misses 60M and it would only miss by 500K obviously could hold worse but history seems to show it should be somewhere above 60M Edited January 23, 2015 by killimano3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I said it in the Wednesday thread...even if it follows a shitty film like Jack Ryan it will do close to 60 mill this weekend. Leave Jack Ryan alone. It was OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not particularly surprising news According to Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, "American Sniper" continues to stay on target, with this weekend's top ticket sales and a surefire 87 out of 100 points on Fandango's Fanticipation movie buzz indicator. "Sniper" is on track to see landmark weekend sales, marking: · The biggest second weekend of any January wide release in Fandango history; · Second weekend sales that are bigger than the first weekend sales of the previous top January openers ("Lone Survivor" and "Ride Along") on Fandango. "‘American Sniper' is unstoppable and its hot daily ticket sales show no signs of letting up," says Fandango Chief Correspondent Dave Karger. "Clint Eastwood's award-nominated film is currently on track for an historic second weekend, as it continues to smash January records." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Not to go overboard, and a $50-$60m 2nd weekend is stunning, but there is an outside shot that this can make $70-80m this weekend which would be absolutely insane. It's not likely, but one can't completely rule it out. Edited January 23, 2015 by Clavius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not likely, but one can't completely rule it out. I really doubt 70m+, but if that happened this would be on track to be the most surprising/impressive domestic BO run in my lifetime with the exception of Titanic.

Gokai Red Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) What would a hypothetical $70m weekend put it on track for? $400m? $450m? Edited January 23, 2015 by Gokai Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So the line I thought was for the Kingsman early screening was actually for American Sniper. My god 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What would a hypothetical $70m weekend put it on track for? $400m? $450m? Star Wars 7 under American Sniper... I like the thought of that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Well, it's 100% a lock to hold the top 2 weekends in January. The 2nd will be bigger then any previous OW by a pretty solid margin. I'm calling over $62.30m so it will be 50% over Ride Along's OW. EDIT: Forgot about Avatar. How could I forget about Avatar?
