Just saw on Deadline Nolan made $90m from Interstellar. Even when his movies don't hit a billion he still makes a crazy amount. Daaaaamn.

MMXXL HAS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE TO EQUAL OR DO BETTER THAN ITS FIRST WEEKEND.

THREE QUESTIONS:

Has any second weekend equal the first weekend?

Has any second weekend better the first weekend?

What is the smallest drop ever from first to second weekend?

[BadAtGender]

People need to get over it. Fury Road was great, but it wasnt the second coming of Christ. We all should be happy Mad Max even made $100M in the first place. $150M is a HUGE overachievement.

 

Well, it wasn't the second coming of Christ because it was better.

October also looks pretty stacked. The Martian seems to be gaining a lot of buzz (even I have to admit the trailer's pretty awesome), and Spielberg and Zemeckis both with new prestige dramas

Id say Fall 2015's attendance would be locked to surpass 2003 if we were getting Jungle Book instead of Pan. And if Vacation stayed in October

You're not serious, I hope

About Minions hitting 1b OS? Well, someone brought that up last night and I thought it was a joke. Then I sent to OS thread and realised it's serious. Minions has already outdone AOU and FF7 in a few international markets.

 

I WISH it's just a joke.

Christmas provides a lot of such examples

Well, it wasn't the second coming of Christ because it was better.

 

So you're saying it was ?

[a2k]

45 (6.2 + 38.8)

39

30 (-23%)

114m

[lab276]

I can't help wondering, could this year challenge the early 00s in tickets?

No.

[KATCH-2D2]

Umm... don't forget Star Wars.

 

SW7 is not locked to do 1b OS. In fact it's expected to do less than AOU OS unless all those predictors change their predictions again..

[a2k]

So looks like MMXXL is gonna be ~50m after a 11m weekend. That puts it on track for 70-75m.

Kids movies are no more sure things than movies aimed at adults. History is littered with examples of kids movies flopping. Of course that was never going to happen here

[TServo2049]

I think the real question is how close this year's ticket sales will get to 2009's.

[LaneFair]

Minions for 130 Million this weekend.

 

Ant Man for 65 next weekend?

Trainwreck for 30?

 

Pixels for 50?
 

MI for 60?

 

F4 for 50?

 

 

Gonna be a good next month.

That number seems a bit crazy to me even though he is the director, writer, producer & owner of the negative probably through Syncopy.

That s really enormous for a 672m ww grosser.

I think Deadline is still guessing with their numbers sometimes.

They have ranges and know people that know things but there s no way someone would give them the exact numbers.

I was kidding about that part. I hate kid movies, well, most of them.

[LaneFair]

Should be beaten if Sept/Oct aren't too bad which doesn't look like they will be. 

Dec should be slightly below 2009's December But this Nov's Spectre, Hunger Games, Good Dinosaur should beat 2009's New Moon, 2012, and Blind Side. We'll see though.

They have a pretty detailed report embedded in this article that lists all of the film's revenue and costs. The article itself discusses Nolan's profit participation deal: supposedly $20m against 20% of the gross.
