Furious 7 Weekend Numbers: Revised Official Estimate - 146.5M (Sunday underestimated) | Official OS Estimate - 240.4M

[baumer]

As someone who loves fast and furious movies, i am not asking this to be a troll. Whats the difference between Michael Bay movies and fast and furious??

 

I love you buddy, but can we keep the Bay stuff out of this.  I don't want another 10 pages of debate about Bay.

[CJohn]

Hunger Games 5?

You know what I meant to say I am going to edit it now. 

[Incarnadine]

I'm gonna laugh if the Jurassic World trailer comes with Unfriended

Weirdly, the only time I've seen a trailer for Jurassic World (and I see a lot of movies), is in front of It Follows of all movies.   I was actually expecting to see it in front of FF7, but we got 3 underwhelming trailers, Tomorrowland, Hitman: Agent 47 and some other movie I can't even remember.

[Maxmoser3]

No matter what it makes this weekend, it will pass the original by Monday.

yeah I'm predicting a 5-6 million each day then next weekend it makes it way close to 200 million

[baumer]

Remember when I said Fifty Shades was gonna have a bigger OW than SW? I should have said F7 

 

But it didn't and it won't.  I don't get what you are saying.  50SOG didn't hit open bigger than F7 and it won't open bigger than SW.

I got a little nervous at the opening of FF7. There were huge 4-quadrant crowds (young old male female). Very diverse culturally too. I thought of Ep7 and wondered if SW could and would command that type of appeal across the masses in the same way. Time will tell but i am not sure.

SW7, if people are realistic, will open to very good/record December numbers but not ungodly record breaking numbers as we all know Christmas films are about legs, not openings.

Ok sounds good

Off a 30 mill Sunday or a 27 mill Sunday, it will drop by about 72% on Monday.  Then it will increase on Tuesday.  Your weekday numbers are way too low. Also, with a lot of people being off school and work tomorrow, the drops should be less than 60%.

Not sure what others think is realistic or not, but I think min $150m ow is happening for SW7.

i think it's because Jurassic Park franchise appeals to the horror audiences because of monsters

im not good predicting box office in general

No way Star Wars opens less than Furious 7

No. Damn. Before 50SoG opened, I was saying that his OW would be bigger than the OW of Star Wars (that is not gonna happen, of course, because I expected 50SoG to open with 120-140M over the 4 day weekend). I am now saying that instead of having said that, I should have said that F7 would have a bigger OW than Star Wars.

 

My english is fucking with me right now

You don't have to be good in this case, just look at past years numbers on Easter Monday.

Yeah there is. The opening is gonna be in the same general vicinity.

ill increase on Tuesday.  Your weekday numbers are way too low.

Monday:-52%/-55%

Tuesday:-22%/-25%

[baumer]

Sorry, that chart is messed up but the first box there is the Easter Monday.

Monday:-52%/-55%
Tuesday:-22%/-25%

 

Yea, I made a mistake about Tuesday.  You're right.

 

But then again the two openers increased last year on Tuesday.

[kayumanggi]

There is no corelation between these 2 movies. F7 had a very good reason to increase. AOU doesn't have that.

You know this because?

That overseas number without China, Russia and Japan is INSANE!

[baumer]

You know this because?

 

But I think James is right.  F7 does have a very good and logical reason to increase.

 

Avengers 2 doesn't because Avengers was already the zeitgeist.  The sequel doesn't have the same curiosity factor and imo is bound to decrease.

[Andy]

Damn, these WW numbers.

Not same curiosity factor but been hyped big for years and months now and everyone knows its coming  out in a month.
