Moviedweeb Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 There is nothing remotely dissapointng about TFA's performance so far. Not a single thing no matter how subtle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sunday's hold will be a bit stronger than historical holds. It's first Sunday was historically strong, as was NYE. I'm thinking this goes 36-39-26 for $101 million. My derby prediction was a little over $98 million so I'm feeling pretty good about it so far Unfortunately, Hateful 8 is killing me this weekend Avatar had much better Sunday holds in its first two weekends, and even Avatar was down almost 33% in its third Sunday (which was the lowest drop by almost 10% in the Top 12 that year). I don't really see Star Wars doing much better than a 40% drop on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narniadis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well, glad to know that the pot smokers with 20M+ for Hateful 8 were wrong... if it had opened in wide from the get go maybe (as seen by the total of 26-27m) but not the last minute crazy ass release they ended up with. And 35m is just fine - goes well with my 94m prediction.... FOR ITS 3rd Fing Weekend!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 4 minutes ago, Wilfred said: Hateful Eight will not have anywhere near the legs Django or Basterds did. It lacks the star power and is frankly, nowhere near as good as those two films were. QT had his fanbase turn out for the Roadshow but I imagine mainstream audiences will find the film needlessly overlong. That is definitely good news for The Revenant, though that is still going to be a tough sell. I agree that it won't have near the legs of those two films. However, I for one think it is better than both of those films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanLB Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hateful Eight was legitimately one of the worst movies of the year. I think "pile of shit" is actually too nice of a phrase to use to describe it. No stars, F-, garbage filmmaking. Pretentious, overly long, pointless, and I'm glad to see it underperforming. I hope nobody gets suckered into seeing that turd. Every other Tarantino movie is at least a B+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hateful Eight is almost as long as Return of the King... theres no fucking way I'm sitting in a theater more than 3 hours for a fucking Tarantino picture. Netflix/Redboxing this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE Basterds but only Tolerated Django so I am hoping when I finally get a chance to see this that I like it - if its more akin to Kill Bill in scope such as a couple friends of mine have said then it sounds like I will.... But I don't see it being a 100m hit (sadly.) Even thought we need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking 65m finish, which would be respectable considering the budget is lower than Tarantino's previous films (44 million).

baumer Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Last "perspective post" before I turn in for the night. Remember this number? 84,617 Mill Yep, that was the previous December opening weekend record. SW is going to smash that number in its third weekend. This film is a monster. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, put it in the Kill Bill range gross wise but we would still be talking his lowest ticket seller since Jackie Brown (not counting Grindhouse of course.)
