Calling 60 million plus. Sicario might hit 30 million. Great weekend.

Lol.

[zackzack]

Excellent. Positions it well for $50m+.

'How do you figure?

[Mojoguy]

Martian isn't beating Gravity's OW.

 

Gravity had a 80% 3D share and one hour shorter run time. Gravity has too much of an advantage.

[zackzack]

Third comeback in a row

 

I thought Gladiator is the only comeback

[DAR]

Very good start.  I'm hearing reports that Joaqauin might miss thankfully so weather might not factor in.

[zackzack]

Please beat Gravity! That movie is pretty overrated, I I would rather have The Martian have the Oct record!

 

Not likely, unless....

[Mojoguy]

Gravity did $55m OW, with only $1.4m previews.

Compared to Martian's $2.5 previews, it could do $80m OW.

WHAT the hell is this I don't even...

Great preview number.

While wearing my Realism Hat: $45-50M opening looking good!

 

While wearing my Fangirl Hat: Come on, $90M!

Let's rather say $100M !

50m should happen. Can reach 190-200m with good word of mouth

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

This weekend should be fun. Hopefully Sicario does well in wide expansion. Thinking of seeing The Martian tonight and Sicario tomorrow morning.

word of mouth will be great judging from the reactions from all the screenings I've seen + reports online. The film really is a crowdpleaser. 3.5x multi will be no problem.

Really nice number! WOM also looking to be very strong

 

If it grosses 55M this year is definitely gorgeous. Sixth month with new OW record! December is also a given and November can be reached also with Mockingjay 2. Incredible!

October is shit! - CJohn

San Andreas had an ow of 54.6 off of 3.1m in previews and this should be more front loaded so I'm thinking mid 40s

After The Martian all I see is death.

Eh, San Andreas was a summer movie with a younger audience because it was a disaster movie. This is a hard-science adult movie released in october. Not the best comp.

[La Binoche]

Go Ridley Scott and go Jessica Chastain!

75 mil ow. The book is so popular!
