Dean on celly?

[GuardianDevil]

Legs are more important than opening weekend even when you have the fifth biggest opening all time.

 

Relax,BKB. It's still a huge success.

 

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Wouldn't be surprised if Disney skimmed from Jungle Book to keep Civil War above 180m.

 

Why, it's not like 180 matters in terms of any milestones. It'll be fifth biggest OW either way

Are you referring to a Pirated Copy of this movie already on the streets??? I just can't imagine why on fucking earth some cheap Motherfucker would want to watch something like this on a Pirated Fucking Copy with some Dude's head in the way instead of prying the fucking wallet out of your pocket and paying to see it the way it was meant to be seen, on the Silver Screen/IMAX???

 

No dude's head in the way, no bad audio either. This is almost a DVD quality copy which has leaked out. I'm shocked such a good quality rip of a big release has hit the web this quickly.

It's a clean copy. Not a cam so I've read

[Chaz]

I'm downloading when I get home. Naming the file "BKBtears.mov."

Pirating never really matters, people always act like it will but it never does. People who are going to pirate never woulda bought tickets anyway

That's true, but what of repeat viewers? With a pretty much pristine copy floating around on the net (granted, news has not spread yet like it did for Expendables 3), it could curb some amount of repeat business. We will only know if the news pays this leak any attention, especially since it has come out just 3 days after release.

Downloading when I get home for my parents. 

 

Also, I think it will still have 0 effect. Pirate copies only affect movies when they are released online before the movie.

I suppose but I don't think it's going to matter. People know that every movie will be online within a week of release and people who watch online don't tend to mind quality

180 looks better than 178.

Lol. I base things on past events and extrapolate. Like I did this weekend with some success and calling a bottom on oil 2 months ago. I don't have any data on a leaked copy the weekend after a tentpole is released.  But I will the next time it happens.

I project more than predict. How about you? You won the china OW. Thought you should know. I'll send the gift card tomorrow when actuals are in. Ya never know they could fudge 8m and screw you.

Me? I'm just an asshole.

Always thought that  Sunday hold looked optimistic. Mother's Day is kind to family films and romantic comedies. Not action films

To whom?

 

200 is a number you fudge for. Big, round. 180 is... nothing, really.

 

And Disney didn't even fudge Star Wars to 250 

[JohnnyGossamer]

I expect a similar drop to Iron Man 3 and a better drop sans previews. It will have better WOM. I think $80M+ is in play.

Disney doesn't care about this stuff.  Paramount they are not.

Next weekend drop was will probably be about -57-58%. Even WS dropped 56%

Ticket sales have dropped over the last 14 years. Everyone blames piracy for that.

PIRACY WATCH

CA2, IM3 and AoU held -56-59%. 

CA3 is well reviewed and good WoM.  Let's see where it falls

Next year I see Barbie posting a 50M+ OW on Mothers Day. The Sunday box office take will be huge.
