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

[PDC1987]

If they were going to fudge they would have done it already. Wednesday was a great candidate. Only $105,000 short of $20m, which would have tied the record for most consecutive days above $20m.

Shhh, you're being a blind fanboy.

Finally!

Movies in this summer are heating up BO-wise.

Not like the boring last summer where we only had one $300M DOM grosser.

ED, CJohn are pretty fair in their predictions & have a lot of experience in tracking the action. You instantly dismiss their points PDC because of how blinded you are sorry but it's the truth.

 

Ed and CJohn have both been conservative throughout the film's entire run. I'm conservative myself and I think it gets to 100. It's not an unreasonable projection at all.

[GiantCALBears]

How so?

Just because it's happened in the past doesn't mean every studio does it nor does it happen often. It's brought up wayyyyyyyyy too much on here as a reason for why movies nearly pass milestones.

100M are still possible. The 2nd weekend record just seems like something impossible. Everything would have to go super right.

I don't see it hitting $100m either but I've underpredicted the whole run as well.

You're the one who started the JW $100 million 2nd weekend thread lmao.

 

It is fact that it is still possible for JW to break the record, that's what I'm saying.

again a few hours before RTH will give us approximate estimates of Saturday, then we will be smarter

another fantastic week at the box office

which for 2015

How do you figure?

IO is a stronger film with the Pixar brand. JW's success was a fluke and it's crumbling against stronger competitors. TA will keep the rest of its records.

Crumbling?

 

And you're honestly saying JW is gong to fall 90% today and not break the 9 day, 10 day and fastest to 350/400/450 etc records?

If it has a chance to hit 100M, I don't think 103 will be that far of a stretch. That being said, I'm guessing it falls JUST short of 100 (98)

Crumbling is a strong word

An important point. It just keeps doing stuff that no one expects.

$100-105 million 2nd weekend is crumbling???

Assuming a reasonable multiplier of 4ish for Inside Out we're going to have four movies above 300 million this year and not one from 200 - 300 million. That's a remarkable distribution.

[CJohn]

$100-105 million 2nd weekend is crumbling??? 

Even if it does 95-100M, it is still not crumbling  

[baumer]

JW has defied all logic and now IO has done the same. Two crazy weeks at the box office.

[grey ghost]

LOL at universal projecting JW to barely take the 2nd weekend record.

Looks like they plan on fudging.

[GiantCALBears]

An important point. It just keeps doing stuff that no one expects.

I'm pretty sure I predicted $75m OW, $200m total (if that) so yeah, wayyyyyyyyyy off lol. I'm fine with it though, always learning about what is truly big in our pop culture. Neglected the massive hype from the original for some reason in figuring this out.

Try more like 10-12 hours.
