hmm, does someone open one for Thursday or should I open one, I do not want to 'steel' the early find from WrathOfHan

Go ahead

[Damianport1]

Then why Deadline is predicting 20M+ for Revenant? Clearly looks like 30+ after thursday

I doubt that. SW7 should have a solid hold for sure. its monday to thursday hold is quite good.

I have 50M for.SW7 while Revenant around 45M so certainly close enough for a race.

[Joel M]

Does this number indicates Revenant is def going over 40M or it might just be frontloaded?

[Jandrew]

RA2 and 13H should do the same next week, and KFP3 later.

 

Good to see January starting off scrong. (Yes I meant scrong).

Amazing, my baby Tommy Hardy is becoming a big star

Gotta give credit to Fox and the marketing team on this one, they worked their ass off making sure it had awareness. May land around 35 or so for the weekend (not going to predict higher because I suspect poor WOM to start kicking in quickly).

I just want everyone to remain calm. I understand that best QB of all time will start for the Broncos next weekend. 

 

 

With that said, please remember to not discuss your excitement in this thread but rather in the sports forum. Thanks.

Who could've guessed Inarritu outperforming Tarantino

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I don't want even see what's the numbers for TF, I don't even remember what was the last horror movie opening in January with an OW below $10m

[WrathOfHan]

Forest earned 515k

Again, it all came down to marketing in this case. One movie had a near blockbuster level campaign, and the other was left to hope that people just knew it was coming out. Leo doesn't hurt either of course.

THE REVENANT earned $2.3M from Thursday night shows as it eyes a strong wide opening weekend... #TheRevenant http://fb.me/4c2O01Irt

For now, we're projecting the film will score around $33 million this weekend with potential to go higher. That would land it in a strong second place showing behind the presumed four-peat of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is aiming for another weekend close to $50 million.

Meanwhile, The Forest pulled $515,000 from 1,700 theaters last night, comparing favorably to last year's The Lazarus Effect ($350K Thursday / $10.2 million weekend). A similar weekend finish is probably in store for Forest

Whoo Hoo! I always believed in Leo and Revenant. It will be interesting to see how far this gets. If it reaches 150m, that would be absolutely incredible.

You've been a fan ever since you saw him in Star Trek Nemesis 13 years ago?

I don't think it's reaching 100 even with a 40m OW, but we'll see I guess.

Easy to say that now. They're on opposite ends from their last films

Yeah, I don't think many were predicting Revenant over H8 3 months ago. However, it has seemed pretty obvious for the last month or so given the marketing for each film.
