CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 hey cap yu think sws fans will go crazy and break the single day record right back? Nah, I'm thinking 162 million for Star Wars 7 OW. Still huge, though I wonder if Batman VS Superman will break the opening weekend record? Also, drat, only 85 to 89 mil opening day for Avengers 2?

redfirebird2008 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) However when on the eve of a movie opening weekend record has a studio done a gutsy call such as 200+?? Like to me its confidence? Yes, Paramount said IM2 was very likely to hit 150+. I think this is a different beast from that one and will not leave egg on Disney's face.

Empire Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 helps whem yu got a show like agents of shield and agent Carter tying in and promoting the marvrl unoverse bigtime tp extra millions of people on tv ww Yeah, I am sure a shitty show & a mediocre show will really help its box office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie0808 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) hey mattie! Hello! (Goes back to the five pages that have probably sprouted since this was posted, I read it, and responded.)

BadAtGender Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That range right between 200 and the record is funny. I wonder what Disney will estimate if it looks like it's going to come in around 205m or so. Do they announce that it's at 208 or something so they can claim new record? But then if the actuals come in lower, it looks bad, right? So do they actually go ahead and fudge it to get the record? (I'm not aware of Disney doing any fudging in the past, but who knows.) Similarly, if it seems to be coming in at the high 190s do they announce a 200m estimate? Do they fudge it to get up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will cruise past 210 so it won't even be an issue, but hell yes they are bound to fudge the thing if it gets within a few mill of the record. Paramount has set a trend here lately with two Transformers fudge jobs on opening weekend. Disney has every right to do the same if necessary.

Moviedweeb Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Increasing like TA means around 90m. I'll take it since I believe that the weekend performance will be close to the same as the first in terms of the multiple and that front-loading will be reflected in subsequent weekends and the final gross.
