What people don't understand is, that for movies like JW, a movie board like us is unimportant.

JW now looks like the movie, people visit after not having seen a theater for a couple of years and they definetely won't talk about character development or sexism afterwards, but about having a great time and that's what happens here and that's what happend with movies like Transformers 2, that a called the biggest stinkers ever over here. But it just doesn't matter. Movies like those are just bigger than that.

 

The end of the film will get  people talking.  

The last 15 minutes is going to blow people away.  TREX is the bomb, then you have Blue and TREX kind of nodding to each other after I-Rex gets eaten by the water beast, I mean, you can't make it any better than that, you just can't.

first of all like i explained twice my reasoning for being worried has NOTHING to do with mj2. i literally said, no i'm not worried about mj2, i'm worried about a movie that might be sexist making a lot of money.

 

second of all, there's not a lot of need for self-reflection. i've made like 10 posts in this thread total and read them all back before making this post. the only prediction i posted was 140-200. after that i kept getting asked how 140 could happen and i explained how. this all occurred AFTER rth's 5pm pst prediction (71-75) and BEFORE his 8pm pst (76-79). there was no "steady uptick" it was one single data point and as soon as the higher numbers came in i reminded everyone i had also said that they could go up (200) instead of down (140). excuse me if i didn't do it 100% politely

Fair enough. You do realize that offering up a projection with a 60m range and then wanting to get credit for that is a bit ridiculous, though, right? Or that putting up 140 as a legitimate low-end *after* you have the 71-75m update looks dubious too? (Especially since that 71-75 was already an uptick -- twice over! -- from the very first numbers that came in (in the 65m range).)

DH2's Friday sample wouldn't be the top one at all. It only did 42m and change during Friday biz.

 

No, more like 47 and change. 43.5 midnight and 91 total. He already mentioned it's bigger than TA1's 62 day business. That would put it over 80 total and possibly headed for mid-80's if the thing keeps going up. Just crazy stuff.

yep 140 and 200 were both "ridiculous" based on 71-75 and now look one of them is actually a possibility. i just threw out a broad range that was based vaguely on rth's revisions during recent big ows (down like aou or up like f7) and no i don't actually want credit
