This opening is all on Leo. He is pretty much the only movie star in the US that can open any movie to a big number.

The Revenant looks amazing, glad it's breaking out. Can't wait to see it.

Unless it's J Edgar.

 

Denzel can also do it.

I've been saying this is breaking out for OW, for ages... YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME GUYS. I'M ALWAYS GODDAMN RIGHT. 

I knew it would do "well" (by that I mean at least better than WrathofHan's 12M  but I was too scared to predict a breakout.

Yeah, I was trying to think of anyone else, but you're right Denzel opens well with pretty much anything. Although Leo tends to have much tougher sells.

Who else predicted above 40M in the derby or in predictions threads? I can't be the only one.

[MovieMan89]

Speaking of Denzel, The Magnificent Seven is going to kill it later this year even if it sucks. Denzel and Pratt in a mostly dead September and October slate? Yeah, 150+ is very likely.

Welp, I was wrong. This is going to blow past the rest of Inarritu's filmography. 

Me too. Was thinking mid 20s

 

They shouldn't call it a western, it doesn't have that feel, that has a negative connotation for some, especially overseas. Tarrentino was calling Django a "southern"

It doesn't take place in the late 1800s with repeating rifles, cowboy hats, ranchers and gun slingers. It's out west but in the 1830s

You may be. I dunno why but I haven't made any predicts in the derby (yet).

 

But my official prediction was around 29M I think. Hats off to you Tree;)

Don't forget Pizzaman.

Leo is the only star with real star power in Hollywood.

 

 

And this is the proof, again.

[Damianport1]

Its still early...i hope it makes 30M+ on weekend but we have to wait.

This January is going to be massive. This weekend is going to be great, and next weekend is shaping up to be insanity.

I told you all DiCaprio + Revenge Story + Epic Visuals would sell. Nobody cared.

13 Hours is getting dumped so I guess you are betting big on Ride Along 2?

TFA, RA2, and 13H should all combine to 100 easily next weekend. And that's before Monday grosses.

We'll see. I bet it still pulls 20 at least. And RA and TFA should both pull 35-40.
