I was going to mention you but unfortunately you're Rallax, not Omega Boner.

 

The PSN chats tho...

What a depressive summer. Only two or three movies are going to pass the 100m mark.

I think you meant only two or three will pass "200m" this summer.

Maybe 100M OW?

Like he was lamenting only 2 or 3 movies having a 100M+ OW. CA:CW, FD, and Suicide Squad. Though, maybe, Pets can do it.

TC2...why does it have to be you too?

If Jungle Book can get to 1B (still several Asian markets), and Dory can too... thats 4 billion-dollar movies for Disney...

Lionsgate's plan for La La Land is genius and they're finally making a good move for once:

 

Opening Weekend: 20M. Strong counterprogramming for Rogue One.

Christmas: 20M. It'll increase or decrease slightly.

New Year's: 17M. There are no new releases so it doesn't lose any theaters.

Jan 6: 11M. Strong WOM keeps it over 10M, and with only two new releases theaters will sooner get rid of stuff like Collateral Beauty or Why Him before this.

Jan 13: 8.5M. With four new releases (and no, I'm not counting Friday the 13th  ) the TC drop could be harsh but that didn't hurt The Big Short on MLK.

Jan 20: 6.5M. Oscar nominations will likely be out and there are only two new releases so no major drop.

Jan 27: 4M. This weekend will be where the harsher drops start coming in. There are four new releases and this is the movie's 7th weekend.

Feb 3: 3.5M. Fortunately it'll rebound with only two minor new releases.

Feb 10: 2M. Three big new openers this weekend, but Valentines is during the week so a nice weekday will be there.

Feb 17: 1.2M. President's Day will save it from 50%.

Feb 24: 700k. One last push before the Oscars.

 

That's 94.4M from weekends alone.

 

I'm really really looking forward to this one. Stone and Gosling's chemistry is insane.

Jungle Book may not make $1B. But Dory, Civil War, Zootopia & Rogue One

(unless...those re-shoots..)  will give Disney a quartet of $1B WW movies

in a single year.  That's gotta be a record.

Jungle Book's hopes of reaching 1B rest almost solely on Japan now. It will get achingly close if it unfortunately misses it. Poor Disney execs will just have to make do with the other 4 $1B 2016 movies and hope that Moana overperforms too.

Wow. Guess I was wrong about Dory. No idea what is so appealing about it.

 

...people love the original, really love Ellen, and really, REALLY love Dory?

 

I mean, it's not that hard to see the objective reason.

[MCKillswitch123]

Oh, that's nice, an increase from early estimates. Hopefully later updates will have it even closer to 60M.

 

I guess it's safe to say that audiences just couldn't have enough when Dory came...... out of the ocean

Of course it's a record. Billion dollar films were unheard of until about 2010. Then China and market expansion came along.

Don't you mean four or five? 

 

Pets, SS and Bourne 5 all have a good chance to do so. Even Ghostbusters could if WOM ends up being decent.

There'll be 6 past this mark by July 4th 

 

And another 6-8 by Labor Day. 

 

Do you mean OW?

At my local AMC theater all eight 3D showings today were sold out yesterday.
