Who is BJ, then?

Former Mojo guy who migrated over to KJ. He posts here occasionally too.

Paper Towns at 15% of Fault in Our Stars.

It shouldn't be quite as.front loaded as TFIOS though

Yep, dull weekend incoming indeed.

Until Vacation does $60m 5 day and MI5 does $75m OW

Yeah late July kinda died off. Ant-Man and Trainwreck performed as expected. Minions hasnt had amazing holds, Pixels/Paper Towns potentially missing 25m. Finding Dory, BvS and even Pan were sorely missed this summer..

At least Sep-Dec 2015 is looking huge (for that time of year)

Okay, I get it.

[Dementeleus]

Oh shit, I found my original AVATAR prediction at KJ.

What the hell, here's mine:

Opening Weekend: $81 million

Total Domestic: $340 million

Total Overseas: $520 million

Total Worldwide: $860 million

Just $110m away, lol.

Definitely not, but it'll still be decently front loaded. I wouldn't hope for much more than $15m this weekend, at this rate.

[Asyulus]

No midnights number yet as of now.

[Biggestgeekever]

My first reaction to gopher's comment on paper towns is that it'll fail to hit $10M. Truly awful preview performance. Anyone know what kind of preview numbers The Host had?

[Mattrek]

World's most optimistic BO predictor and I mean that in a good way. He's a genuine fan of many big properties and is not afraid to go out on a limb. He also provided very detailed predictions.

You make it sound like he's gone. He still pops in from time to time.

[Ethan Hunt]

The budget is only 12M so it'll definitely make money but a sub-20M OW wouldn't create confidence for the future of John Green adaptions. (Though LFA could still probably do 100M)

Well yeah, meant to put provides. Oops. 

[Mattrek]

Well yeah, meant to put provides. Oops.

You're fired.

No preview numbers yet? They must be really bad.

Spoke a wee bit too late.
