#ED Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 BTW, I would be shocked if BvS opens above 200M next month. The marketing has been great and its literally opening everywhere in the world on the weekend of March 24th, so perhaps a WW OW record can be broken, however I don't see it doing Avengers numbers. I fully expect an OW of about 170M. This forum is going to erupt in disappointment if we go by discussions in the BvS thread(Which put to shame the old TASM threads.). So nothing "surprising" with a number below 200M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intergalactic Ping Pong Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) I need Star Wars to start dropping 25%* or less weekly, on average. $936 million, please and thank you e gracias. *Figure based on normalized weeks with no holiday. For example, this week's normalized earnings would have been around $6.6 million with holiday earnings excluded. I need next week to be around $4.97 million (which would really be a 45.4% drop from this week's actuals.)

eddyxx Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The time between March 25th and May 6th is going to be trollapalooza. I hope the mods have their battle shields ready to go because Deadpool's opening was just the warm up act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT Lets not forget that TDKR was released when the exchange rates were much better. Edited February 18, 2016 by TommyA10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpireCity Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) 5 hours ago, Baumer said: Yeah, predicting something to do the number is that it does, 3 or 4 days before it gets released, those aren't predictions that is going with tracking. Nobody expected Star Wars to do what it did. You might have predicted it once the tracking numbers came out and once the sellouts came out....that's not predicting, that's just reading the news. If you tell me that more than 10% of the people thought that it would beat avatar 3 months before it was released then I'll call you a freaking liar. Completely disagree. There were quite a few calling for it to break the opening record and the all time domestic. This was 5 months before it came out. It is verified on other sites if you want to look back that far.

department store basement Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Sony's adding 275 theaters to Spectre so it can make it to 200m. AFTER it's come out on DVD. They must be REALLY desperate. Edited February 18, 2016 by department store basement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with ancillary revenue and such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries like China, France, Germany, scandinavia, Mexico, Japan all came later. BvS is opening in 51 territories according to IMDB. Including China. (and the others I mentioned) Not really a fair comparison. Edited February 18, 2016 by Total Treecall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
