Weekend Estimates: JW: 102 IO 91...RTH: Sun JW 38.3 | IO 25.3 with possible upsides PG 287, possible 107M for JW weekend

[Dale Cooper]

As for Star Wars winning the year, it's entirely possible, but saying that it can "easily" do it when JW might just gross $700m is a bit pre-mature. Even to reach 600m it would had to sell considerably more tickets than ROTS and to beat Avatar it would need to match Phantom Menace pretty much. It's possible, but let's not pretend it's a certainty.

Fanboyism at its best. My movie is the king of the world.

Why are people being so obtuse?

 

Because "hype" has enough subjectivity that they think they can worm their way into the absurd claim that AVTR was a smaller movie than JW.

 

Despite the subjectivity of "hype", their claim has still been explicitly debunked.

 

They just keep shifting the goalpost.  A few pages back, they were arguing that 'Alvin and the Chipmunks 2' was stiffer competition than IO.  Then they were arguing that AVTR had no "name recognition".  Now, they're arguing it had "no hype".  Every time they get debunked, they concoct a new bullshit theory to try and make the Fox tentpole blockbuster AVTR sound like a little indie movie.

James u suffer from so much hatred that you embarass yourself. with Jurassic world exploding why is it so hard to comprehend at Star Wars could do the same? You hate the French I so much that you let it cloud your judgement. Much to learn you still have. I'm obviously not saying Star Wars will easily when the year but it certainly has a legitimate shot. Even you have to be able to see that.

Yeah, I remember. FF7 made that so AoU has to make more. Is it so hard to comprehend that SW7 will make less than JW? Considering how much JW is doing, there are more chances SW will make less, than it doing more. But its ok, I know you are a fan. I forgive you.

[James]

If you really think sw7 has no chance of making 600m, then I'd like to have whatever you're having

And wtf at the rest, all I was saying is a lot of people don't believe that 237m figure

It was a general post directed at all the people comparing the two.

[JohnnyGossamer]

I want Rth's Inside Out number and not Deadline's.

[Ethan Hunt]

I still have SW in a range of like 510-530M

[Jake Gittes]

You hate the French I so much

 

Lol. Took me a minute to figure out what the hell this meant 

[goldenstate5]

Inside Out's Cinemascore is in. It's "just" an A. So should still have great legs but maybe not Frozen-level WOM.

So basically nobody came out singing Let It Go in one randomly selected screening but instead said, "That was really great!"

Mostly you seem to be vigorously constructing lots of straw men.

I always think of Andy Dufrense when i hear the word obtuse lol.

Sure it could make less. I acknowledged that. But i don't deal in absolutes when making predictions. But u have done that.

[baumer]

I just got a new phone and I'm using voice to text. Apparently voice to text does not understand the word franchise so it said French lol I missed that when I was editing the post lol

That's the memory I was hoping to rekindle.

Nope.

 

I see the reason why.
