Ahhh, Prince of Persia. The movie that set back video game adaptations a whole decade.

 

People were unironically predicting it to be the next POTC.

What were they saying before 

A couple of days ago they said $150M-$162M second weekend.

So it seems from that estimate ($170M-$180M second weekend), Star Wars is heading to the mid-high 50s today.

Wasnt the Christmas day the third biggest day for Star Wars presales at fandango after Thursday night and Friday the 18th?

 

Walk up bussiness should be bigger than usual this weekend because of people who thought that all tickets where sold out last weekend.

[spizzer]

Avatars had a 3.27 IM this weekend.  That should be the high-end from whatever the Friday number is.

I don't believe anything deadline says. But the sell out reports are definitely encouraging. I'm still sticking with 55m Friday.

You guys going to create a Christmas weekend thread yet? We do have a DHD #.

If you read through closley = not one new word about SW 7 (the rest I dind't even read), nothing specific

Boxofficemojo's predicition by 24 Dec. is $178.54m (they had 1 day more details)

BoxOffice.com 1 day earlier (before the Wednrsday / X-Mas Eve surprise) gave $163m

$170m ... and somewhere else $178m (forgot where, someone 'known' I read repeatedly in the net since the Wednesday & X-Mas Eve details become known.

= nothing new

Unless you're in line.

They should delay the Blu Ray release to the May the 4th, that's enough time to let it have a complete run and capitalize on Blu ray sales.

LOL every single movie is selling out at my theater except for Point Break lolololol.

Those are basically predictions. I mean, this is their number for Daddy's Home: 20-30M  I can do that as well.

Too late anyways, already started.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Spotlight was fantastic. Honestly the perfect Christmas movie from a certain point of view. Definitely not light-hearted though.

 

Theater was a madhouse. Temperature is nice but it's pouring out so that should drive more people to the theater.

To be fair, theater space is on the limited side with Star Wars consuming so many screens still (and getting all of the biggest ones, of course). But yeah, the openers are looking like they'll open at an at least "acceptable" level. Except for Point Break lol.

[POTUS 2020]

Rth was racking up the angels wings with mulled wine last nite and posted late. Mite be even later tonight.

Hoping for a huge number, 55-60, will not be disappointed with 50m
