BadAtGender Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Great for Sisters, Daddy's Home, Concussion, Point Break. Hateful Eight is weaker than I'd expect. Not even going to clear 20m, unless there's something really weird with the weekend IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said the 1 billion dream is going to relying on TFA finding a point where its drops stabilize soon. A 40% drop next weekend and 25% drop (MLK) the next should be enough to keep it on a path to 1 bil. lol "only" The meltdowns this week are going to be hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 40% drop next weekend would be too much for the film to get to 1 billion. How would the math even work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanLB Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I don't know what there is to melt down about...? I mean once it beats Avatar, after that it's all just gravy. Sure, $1B would be nice, but $900M is a lock and it'll probably land somewhere between those two numbers. It really doesn't make THAT big of a difference, as we're just talking about the gravy at this point. I'm rooting like heck for it to get to $1B but I just wanted it to beat Avatar from the start. I'm a happy camper in a few short days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the morning, I sleep alone. Sweep the streets that I used to own." lol But, but... Avatar will remain ruler of the world. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

We will need a nasty tumble next weekend for that to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanLB Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 That's true, I doubt it will beat it either. My guess is $500 million away frankly. I think Titanic worldwide is in sight, which for me would be pretty awesome. I like Avatar, it had favorable exchange rates, and I don't really care if it keeps the WW title. Product of the times. Although it would be cool to beat it WW, it won't happen most likely. Beating Titanic WW though would be pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 17 minutes ago, straggler said: Films like Joy are very dependent on reviews. Couple mixed reviews with an extremely competitive market right now and its not surprising that it is lagging behind American Hustle, which had really great reviews in a less competitive market. But this movie will keep making money through March. Personally I liked it better than American Hustle. But I'm not sure what easy sell means in this case. It was not a broad commercial film (DOR films tend to be off center), it has divisive reviews and it is odd. More I Heart Huckabees than The Fighter or Silver Linings. It's an easy sell because it's a true story about a self made success, those types of stories sell well, which is why it had a good OD (in fact after its OD many on here were declaring how big of a success it was and suggesting that it would do American Hustle numbers). The fact that the movie immediately began having worse holds than all of its comparable movies and has continued that pattern throughout its first week shows that it is the WOM reception of the movie that is problem.

At this rate it'll have a 99.7M weekend and a 999M domestic final. I think slightly under $90m is possible since a few days, but put just for that a $99.somehing into ED's thread. Now I am thinking it might be really under $90m... as in missing Amercan Sniper's first full weekend 23 minutes ago, BoxOfficeZ said: if it was within 5 million I bet Disney would just fudge it slowly over. they pulled a top 20 movie, I think based on disc relealse date or so 8 minutes ago, kayumanggi said: Come on. see beneath 3 minutes ago, MovieMan89 said: People that ever thought that low for OW were trolling or simply not thinking.

It depends on which time frame, as in a longer time (remember e.g. the summer 'disappointments'?) before the release date I saw such posts too and they didn't look like trolling, as in at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Holy crap Daddy's Home is a beast! And while Star Wars is starting to slow down at my theatre (made "only" 35M today) it's already at the equivalent of 950M total. Still, the thing I'll remember tonight was the kid that puked his guts out in the bathroom. Not just once. Seriously, there was stuff ALL OVER the floor. Me and the other usher spent 45 minutes cleaning it and we had to put an Out of Order sign on the bathroom door it was awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
