Kinda like the Super 8 teaser, then. 

The Super 8 teaser was a lie. Made it look like a Cloverfield type movie

Well, Star Wars is sure to be the least polarizing (and the shortest) choice, so there's that.

I explained that to them however I think my brother wants to wait till he finishes the rest of the series (he has 3 left). He's 16 and usually doesn't enjoy movies over the 2 and a half hour mark . However he enjoyed Django so he feels like the run time won't bother him when it comes to Revenant and Hateful Eight.

In that case, HATEFUL EIGHT.

[A District 3 Engineer]

"The Revenant, starring DiCaprio and directed by Alejandro G. Inarritu, is doing huge business for a possible debut of $35m" 

 

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens is tipped to stay at No. 1 for the weekend with a gross in the $50 million range, but could potentially come in No. 2 on Friday"

 

"Daddy's Home is expected place No. 3 with an estimated $13 million to $14 million"

 

"The Forest , opening nationwide this weekend, may place No. 4 with $11 million"

 

"The Hateful Eight looks to gross $9 million-$10 million"

 

"The Big Short, the financial dramedy directed by Adam McKay, is expanding its footprint timed to the Golden Globes for an expected $6 million-$7 million weekend"

Crazy for Revenant.  Low 40M pace for TFA.

Well, $1 billion definitely isn't happening with that kind of number.

I'm just glad it beat Avatar. Anything else is just icing on the cake.

That's Lone Survivor numbers on the low end for Revenant. So 40m OW wouldn't be a surprise. If it's 16 it's pushing 45.

 

As for TFA, Avatar's SatSun bump and drop was +60%/-26%. Tron: Legacy, the LOTR films, and the Hobbit films all had stronger Saturday bumps, in the 70-80% range, with bigger drops in the 35-40% range. Regardless it looks to be pretty good to get to 40m at a minimum, and possibly as high as 45.

 

Looks like a tight race for #1 for the weekend.

 

[BoxOfficeZ]

That's impressive for Revenant!

Star Wars will have a better overall multiplier this weekend than The Revenant will though, so it's still got a chance at being #1.
