K1stpierre Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I saw big legs and figured this would maybe get 180M OW due to the fact it's opening in December. It's crazy to think how high it opened despite the busy time of year it is with shopping and holiday traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerMike Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anyone have reports from major cities? How are sell outs looking? Sorry for asking. I have been out of box office for a while now. Use to be apart of Mojo back in the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthdevidem01 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Prequel negativity is an internet bubble Imo! (Ofc there may be a biiiit of truth to it) in real life it is rare that I meet someone who hates the prequels, I have met people sure. But I have met far far far more people who like them...and okay fewer who love em. But the idea that the majority of audiences found em offensive doesn't hold true in my experience. I met a girl today at the star wars screening who's favorite is TPM and loves jar jar for example...

redfirebird2008 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 7 minutes ago, doublejack said: In hindsight, we all should have seen this weekend coming. JW was a good indicator. That was a continuation, after quite a gap, of an older franchise with a new installment. Like SW, the first JP is fondly remembered and the newer ones not so much. Nostalgia played a huge role in JW capturing the opening weekend record. TFA has several advantages, though. The built-in fan base is way larger. Years of Clone Wars cartoons have brought in younger fans, and older fans that were kids when the original movies came out in the late 70's / early 80's pre-date JP. We did see it coming. Average prediction for the film was enormous opening and $800m total. Only thing holding it back on the opening was Christmas shopping, traveling, and possible winter weather.

RobinHood26 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Just wrapped up TPM (which I enjoyed way less now even), popping in Clones now.

Were these predictions before or after pre sales kicked off? I honestly don't remember these OW predictions when Jurassic World opened. Maybe I just missed them.

Those two came out of nowhere. JW doubled expectations and Sniper probably quadrupled expectations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Updated Numbers. Opening weekend record broken by 20% in Canada. 18.6 million vs 15.5 million For TA. No Jw does not have the opening weekend record. Canada is a leggy market TA legs would be 70+ million here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, the little language details that make the differences. I am aware about your posts, gave likes for those. But I didn't look too closely to be aware about which region(s) those told about, also you were away dor some hours (sleeping I guess), and based on that not sure about if you've seen the other user's reports.
