So... 200M OW incoming?

 

 

[redfirebird2008]

So if the day business is bigger than TA (and growing), are we looking at $82-85m? Bloody fucking insane!!!

[Kalo]

That's not necessarily true.  I know lots who loved it.  I don't think it's mixed at all.  Just Gopher (he doesn't count) and a few others hated it.

 

I loved it.

No one's villainizing you for anything. Your reasoning was a bit dubious, but whatever, we all have our ways of estimating. What I find bizarre is your steady downplaying of the numbers (using the lowest of the estimates, using weak multipliers, etc) all through the day, even saying you were hoping the movie wouldn't beat MJ2 because you were worried it might be sexist -- in other words, you were prejudging it and spinning the numbers as negatively as you could. But you suddenly proclaim that you should get credit for accurately predicting the highest of the numbers?... All along you've done nothing of the sort.

As a counterpoint to your approach, people like Grim similarly put out a fairly low OW prediction when the Thurs night numbers came out, but he steadily adjusted his predictions upwards as the new information came in.

There's nothing wrong with being wrong about predicting an OW or having a movie over/under-perform beyond your wildest expectations. What's confusing is the seeming lack of self-reflection in what you're actually posting.

 

Can we ban people for being annoying?  I'm going to have to talk to Shawn about this one....hang on one sec......  

 

I'm kidding of course.

100m OD

 

Its gotta happen at some point right?

[Kalo]

Star Wars is going to be interesting to follow... I think preview numbers will be nothing short of massive, mid-December be damned. $30 million plus for sure, maybe even DH2 range if it starts at 7pm. Then I could see Friday day business suppressed more, with a big jump Saturday and great holds through the week.

 

I have a feeling Star Wars is going to explode. maybe even $200m in Dec. yeah I know.

[baumer]

Baumer you're building my hype too high!

 

Don't just take my word for it.....Water Bottle, Panda and a few others loved it too.

[Mango]

And to think Universal just got their first $100 million opener a few months ago.

[grey ghost]

I knew this was gonna cross 400 m when I saw Chris Pratt racing raptors on a dirt bike.

Said no one ever.

[Blankments]

Holy Jesus Christ ass butt insanity.

I don't know what else to say here.

Guys, remember on Avengers 2 OW, Sam was saying she wished she was here on an Avengers 1 level of insanity on the boards?

 

[Tower]

Star Wars now has a legit shot at OW record, I could be wrong but what else could this massive opening mean?

 

That JW has done incredibly well. Regarding SW, nothing really, those are different films with no particular connection.

This line of thinking is exactly what led people to overpredict AOU to compensate for FF7.

You don't go from 76-79 to 100. Lol

It had the same previews, so we are aren't we?

it's possible but B Is right with the holidays coming up right after that could be a negative effect on OW

Universal is like suck it other studios. This is our year. 

[Warmaster506]

BKB is going to love this.

[Dementeleus]

The holidays will dampen SW's OW and strengthen the legs.

[Blankments]

Fuck... how early should I get to the theater tomorrow? LOLOL

why not up the ante with $200 2 months later
