Curious to see the Monday gross for TFA and Revenant

[POTUS 2020]

wow, those revisions cost me 3 points on the derby

[spizzer]

Revenant WTH that's impressive.  

[department store basement]

How was The Big Short's budget only 28m? Did the 4 big stars all take pay cuts?

Thanks for your job, it´s really good and all the visitors enjoy a lot with it, at least me for sure!

Meant to point out, to help the understanding of future posts:

why did you think I added 17 January to it?

In a lot of countries its already either evening, or, see e.g. in Wellington it's already Tuesday morning, in this case ~ 5:30 o'clock.

No it isn't. The $1.869b figure includes Monday domestic estimates (see boxofficemojo).

It's not adding an overseas Monday either because 1) it's far too early, and 2) overseas minus China grossed $7m on Monday last week. Given that China's about $2.5m today, I highly doubt overseas without China actually increased from last week to make the $7.5m needed for a $10m overseas gross.

 

1a. NOw it includes the correct Monday estimates, see my earlier post pointing out the then missing ammount)

1b. Wrong, see my world-time hint you seem to have missed

The exact ammount we will see when they release the details, sometimes they do write rounded numbers...

 

Btw, it's rather typical that they add tidbits like that in tweets like that, the source is generally very reliable,... and those kind of early tweets are also typical by other sources, especially for big grossers, as in, that are the Mondays as far as known / already to estimate.

Probably. Pitt and Bale have done even smaller projects in the past, Carell and Gosling are famous but not exactly big paycheck movie stars.

The Big Short offers highest rate of return for credit-crunch genre

Right. Michael Bay making a bad movie but one that's not a TOTAL piece of shit = decent reviews. Expectations are that low for that hack.

I think Disney is lowballing the sunday drop, which will also result in a bigger monday as a side-effect. 

 

I think Sunday is looking at ~8.2, and then monday 6.2M for 1 additional million over the 4-day.

 

Well, I called it! And I thought I was being audacious with that 8.2, it ended up being 9! What I didn't expect though was that REVENANT bump holy shit.

 

I also think that they're low-balling Monday AGAIN now, but only TFA (it will have a drop similar to The Revenant, so closer to 6.6M)

 

All in all, good hold for TFA, now a 37,7% 3-day drop and 23,1% 4-day drop. Not incredible, but not bad.

 

The Revenant showing us what 12 oscar nominations does to business.

 

random comment but my dad is going to see TFA alone on Wednesday. He hasn't gone to the cinema without my mom since LOTR in 2001.

It's a MB movie, it should be pulling at least $20m in his name alone

Bay isn't really a draw on his own. Most of his movies are sold on concepts/star power foremost. He's a director you pick when you want to deliver on those types of movies

Yeah, no. Spielberg is pretty much the only director who you can sell a movie on with his name alone. Directors like Nolan, Bay, or whoever else, are all "From the director of" guys.
