BadAtGender Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Good think it looks like the number is in the 80s. I dunno how people would have reacted had the true Friday number come in below F7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Even Gitesh himself noted that it's 'super early'. So basically, guy just wanted to be the first to throw out some numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would be fine with $85m It's a great number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 See you tomorrow for these numbers guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Hoping it comes closer to 90M, but unless it drastically exceeds this early projection, the movie will probably wind up on par with the first Avengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I love Iron Man 3 but I hate that role and his performance. That's a villain I didn't want to watch. Trevor ftw Oh, come on now, gotta love the Guy. The only instance with him that irked me was him surviving Stark self-destructing his last suit on him and proclaiming himself "the real Mandarin."

Neo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 F7 on OD was hinted at 140M OW by Variety and went up 7M with actuals. Also was pegged at 58M-60M OD. Looking at AOU we can assume the actual OD (using 89M est) will be 71M non-previews for an OD of 98M+ http://variety.com/2015/film/news/furious-7-soaring-to-125-million-opening-weekend-in-u-s-1201466113/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyLL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 School day... not every parent will pull their kid out of school to see a Marvel movie like I did. I assume the early predictors are taking that into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would be fine with $85m It's a great number 85 would actually be kinda bad, it would mean a Friday well below TA1. That being said, I think it's still targeting low-90s at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Keeps you free for your 2am adventures. Speaking of 2 AM, I checked and the fight starts at 2 AM but I don't have the cable channel that will transmit it over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Looks like an opening weekend just below TA1's. Hey, I'm happy. That means my BSG predicts are already lining up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it pretty impossible for it to match the Friday-only gross of Avengers? Edited May 1, 2015 by CJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there was a question about whether it will do more or less than TA1's opening weekend, unless I am forgetting something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using estimates from another source, from another franchise, on a different weekend. We can't even assume a 7m underestimate based on Disney's estimates for TA1. Each run is its own, unique thing. If anything, we have to assume that Disney is now a bit better at tracking one of their own mega-openers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
