Weekend estimates: 15.90 M THE MARTIAN | 15.50 M GOOSEBUMPS | 11.37 M BOS | 10.83 M TLWH | 9.00 M HT II | 8.20 M PA: TGD | 7.27 M STEVE JOBS

I really don't know where the high tracking for Jobs came from. (apparently it does not get as controversial about his life as it could have)

But yeah-I figured it be around 12M-15M but people on here were saying 30M on the weekend predicts thread.

[Infernus]

Looks like martian wins the weekend while Jobs absolutely screws everyone's winter game this weekend.

[baumer]

So it looks like PA6 will make about 13-14 million fort OW.  Probably finish with 35 million.

Or Goosebumps-remember family films get bigger bumps on Saturday.

[baumer]

Yep, Goosebumps should win the weekend, maybe even easily.

[Impact]

Well these were predictions I made from October 10th:

For the heck of it-OW's for upcoming films:

 

Our Brand is Crisis: 10.5

Scouts vs. Zombies: 6.5

 

Spectre: 100.5

Peanuts: 45.5

The Outskirts: 2.5

 

The 33: 15.0

By the Sea: 14.5

Love the Coopers: 10.1

My All American: 10.0

 

Mockingjay 2: 189.0

The Night Before: 7.5

Secret is in Their Eyes: 6.8

 

Good Dinosaur: 65.5/94.5

Creed: 15.0/22.5

Victor Frankenstein: 7.5/11.0

 

Krampus: 7.0

 

In the Heart of the Sea: 36.0

Legend: 10.0

 

Star Wars: 165.5 (Tough one to guess to be honest-it is December where OW's are not that big-but it is Star Wars!)

Sisters: 28.0

 

 

 

I now have a MUCH higher number for E7

Well glad that the Martian keeps on rolling in money.

I definitely failed on the Steve Jobs prediction.  However, that Jem prediction I had of $2.2 million might end up being on the high end of the box office estimates.

Variety has a $1.6 to $2.2 million range for Jem now.  If the Jem opening weekend falls below $1.6 million, then it will be below "Back to the Future Day."  The irony is that the Jem animated series debuted in October 1985.  That would fit the description of "truly outrageous" if it happened, wouldn't it?

[Impact]

Well I already mentioned on this page what I think of Jem's number

[Ethan Hunt]

Never ever did I think that Steve Jobs would open under 20M

[Impact]

Wow didn't think it be that much of a surprise for it to open at this number. Even if I did have it at 23M a week ago-only because of other people on the forum.

I'd been thinking since the first trailer released that it would open to 30M or close to it.

[Impact]

I'll just blame it on the troll known as Seth Rogan

[Impact]

Goosebumps is the biggest horror of 2015!

I wasn't sure how well that do-as it seem to come out 20 years too late. I kind of want to see it though.

[baumer]

Maybe no one cares about Steve Jobs.  It's a little too soon, the guy just died in 2011.

[Impact]

Very true Baumer, also I've read people are saying how it does not seem to go as controversial as it could and not wanting to see it for that.

You think they would of learned from the last Jobs film.

 

Edit: Its not quite like Walk the Line or Ray either-where yes they just died but there was more of a interest.

ok, i can post on firefox but not chrome. not sure why

[Lestranger]

Damn... Jobs is in free fall, Variety says with friday afternoon numbers, 7.4-8.3 million. That's terrible. Called it, sort of, but not this bad.

"Despite strong reviews, “Steve Jobs” is falling short of expectations, which had gone as high as $19 million in recent days. The biopic is expanding from 60 to 2,493 North American theaters, and is expected to take in $7.4 million to $8.3 million after grossing a solid $2.6 million in its first 13 days of release."

[Impact]

The only thing that really stood out for me in the trailer was how odd it was to hear young Magneto with an American accent.

[moviesRus]

Yeah, this just tells you how little the initial platform release means in the long run. This probably would've benefited from a later release date so it could use its awards nominations to advertise it to the general audience, but then Dec/Jan will be insane this year with SW. It also didn't get the kind of once in a blue moon raves that The Social Network got.
