Ocean's Eight | June 8, 2018 | WB | Gary Ross directing, Bullock, Blanchett, Hathaway, Rihanna, Bonham Carter, Kaling, Paulson and Awkwafina. Social Media Embargo up

[Lordmandeep]

This movie has a lot of good talent involved, will be fine and avoid any of the MRA nonsense. 

 

[Claire of Themyscira]

Cannot wait for the cross-promotion with Xtina and Demi's new feminist anthem.

 

Men will shart!

[a2k]

Small chance at least that this becomes WB's highest dom 2018 - FB2 is the top contender imo, followed by AQM and O8.

AQM is a leader. Already.

I imagine Ocean’s will be top 3, it’s between Aquaman and FB2 for the top spot, OS it likely won’t come close as RPO and Rampage have done over $400m and $300m respectively but I think $200-250m would be very respectable

Early prediction 45/140

[filmlover]

Tracking for a $30-45M opening.

45 is my prediction. It would be a good number

I think $45m would be great for O8, I think once WB ramps up marketing, it could be closer to $50m

 

At $70m, it doesn’t need to do a huge amount to be profitable 

[AJG]

Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if this does $55m+ OW.

yep. there's no competition for this in june.  also legs should be good

[Barnack]

In comp, adjusted for ticket price gross / opening :

Rank	Title (click to view)	Studio	Adj. Gross / Theaters		Opening / Theaters		Date
1	Ocean's Eleven	WB	$293,804,700	3,075	$61,672,700	3,075	12/7/01
2	Ocean's Twelve	WB	$183,895,600	3,290	$57,752,800	3,290	12/10/04
3	Ocean's Thirteen	WB	$155,979,300	3,565	$48,107,800	3,565	6/8/07

 

 

Annual ranking at the dbo

1960 Ocean's 11: #8

2001 Ocean's 11: #8 ( very similar performance to the original)

2004 Ocean's 12: #14

2007 Ocean's 13: #26

 

For a reference last year number 8 was 315m and #26 was 115m

 

30 would be a bit of a deception for that franchise, 45 would be great. Even if they are franchise affair, those older audience franchise movie can have legs, like Murder on The Orient express had or the Mission Impossible.

[WrathOfHan]

Based on that range, I think this will land in the high-30s on OW.

[cookie]

This got a pretty good reaction in front of my DP2 screening (although one guy assumed it was a prequel by the title)

[Krissykins]

$45m would be excellent. 

 

High 30’s would be fine too, but breaking $40m would be nice. 

[stay-cool]

45 million would be excellent. Bullock is the only megastar here whereas the others had Clooney, Pitt, Damon and Julia Roberts. 

[Valonqar]

It'll go up from 45M for sure. This is a kind of role for Sandy that people love to see her play.

Do not know the details, but that a big franchise assemble comedy movie got that type of budget... really do show how outside animation/superheroes spending on comedy got cut in recent year's, that is less than half Ocean 12 budget (that a bit over 145m in 2018 dollars...).

 

Around 2008 to 2011 that would have been a 100m movie in 2018 dollar easily, an assemble comedy like the Grown up movie's got 94m and 100.5m in 2018 dollar net after credits. And that was without a franchise name on it and without the same level of International appeal.

 

At $70m if true, that is a shoe in to be profitable and extremely easy to greenlight, but if true I imagine that would also suggest a lot of the revenues will go in back end deals here.

And since Gravity it is like she was in no movies (very few saw Our Brand Is Crisis), so that would be a bit the equivalent of a 5 year's break from screen return for her, that could help.

Absolutely. Also, Gravity earned her that sweet, rare spot among actors who had enormous hits with roles that required they spent most of the screen time alone (Will in IAL, Hanks in Castaway, Leo in The Reverent, sorry if I'm missing someone).
