Inside Out O/U Day After Tomorrow 68m OW in 2nd place?

 

Definitely over.

[Blankments]

There's jizzz in my pants at 76-79

[Talkie]

OOOOOOOOOOOO...the authority has spoken.

Water has a point, though. Rth over-predicted every single day of AOU's OW. Folks round these parts were mighty defensive about that at yhe time and it still seems a touchy subject.

Early numbers are nice but finals are what I'm waiting for. JW has sailed far past the $130M I privately thought it would make, though it seemed others had it pegged much lower. It's nice to watch Chris Pratt's career riding his raptor-pack to the top.

[Poseidon]

Although.... if there's anything that could also be a resurrected franchise on steroids, it's SW.

Definetely. It has Abrams to begin with.

But then, everytime we thought we had a "save" 500m grosser, AOU/TDKR, we epically failed and that's where the spark comes into play. That's nothing, that you can project, it's something that happens on opening day.

[The Futurist]

Most shocking OW since the first Avengers for me.

[cory]

Anything above 130M I would have considered a breakout weekend.

That it's doing nearly 50M more than that is...

I'm truly speechless.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Holy Jesus Christ ass butt insanity.

I don't know what else to say here.

[4815162342]

while you were all talking 170 i'm the only one who saw that 190-200 could happen

 

giving Kal-El ranges doesn't count

[kowhite]

Kong: skull Island will break the OW record..

 

You heard it first here

And last.

[ExcelFTW]

This is Star Wars we're talking about. JP3's entire domestic gross is about to get outdone in a single weekend by JW, previous film grosses don't relate. 

 

Sith was about as close to max potential as SW will get in todays climate. JP3 wasn't even close to JP's.

And how many times has he done that in the 10 years he's been around?  Once out of something like 500 weeks?

Why? KJ's been telling everybody this would happen for weeks.

Rth does get it wrong from time to time but the difference here is the steady uptick in the numbers as the evening wears on. And, of course, the later it gets the more accurate the estimates are.

How would you know that?

[The Futurist]

RTH might be a little off in the end but JW OW will still be fantastic either way.

Sith's WOM wasn't that great though.

[eXtacy]

Seriously. What. The. Fuck.

 

 

I have no words

[Dementeleus]

People here have been pushing a huge OW since last year as well. There were a lot of doubters here too (heck, I was one of them), but it's not like you folks at KJ were the only ones predicting this.

It was the one week a lot of people didn't want to be disappointed (and a lot of others wanted to be), so naturally it will keep getting brought up

To be fair, JW had its main villain back, SW wont.
