I doubt he'll ever do a blockbuster but he'll do more midbudget films with $50-70m budgets, studios will take a risk with him if he delivers with Blade Runner

 

That's pretty much my thinking. I'm positive that Blade Runner 2 will have a 80m dollar budget, and with him making the film, I think it's in good hands.

If people were afraid of riots, they wouldn't bring their kids to Trolls either.

 

Though if they were showing Zootopia right now, even I would be afraid to show up.

 

Many people still go out but some stay behind. With Veterans Day, you would expect those numbers to be higher right? What do I know, maybe the bump will happen on Saturday.....

Good for Amy, she seems like a good person. Unlike everyone else in this video. Yuck! Just horrible. 

 

 

Didn't dawn on me until now that Arrival is an American Hustle reunion between her and Renner.

Good for everything except Doctor Strange.

I think a 55% drop is good, if you compare other drops this year. Actually, it will be the best for a comic book movie this year.

Strange could hit $42M

Arrival ceiling @ $25M

Why did DS take a hit like that. It was well received by both critics and audiences. At least I'm sure audiences liked it.

Ehh I think two other comic book movies opened up on holiday weekends which inflate their OW numbers and have harsher second weekend drops. 

 

I was expecting a much better hold for DS. It doesn't have much competition and it was well received. But I also have to take into account that expectations do not equal reality and a $37M second weekend is pretty good for it.

THR and Variety had it at 36M+ earlier. Deadline's projection was slightly too early. Probably looking at 13-14M Friday. 13 would give it 13-14.5-9.5 for around 37M and 14 would be 14-15.5-10 for 39.5M

 

12-13M for Trolls will be 32-34M. The Trolls hold is unreal.

 

11.5M for Trolls means 11.5-13-7 for 31.5M weekend. Still pretty awesome. Strange headed for the 36-39M range. Arrival most likely 22M.

Blade Runner's budget is 150-200M.

I'm still amazed that we're getting a new Blade Runner movie at all, let alone one with an apparently huge budget.

 

Any thoughts, @filmlover? After all, we are talking about the most sacred of cows for you.

Shit! It's gonna have to get Arrival like reviews, otherwise it could flop hard.

With the talent behind it (Ford, Gosling, Villeneuve), I could not be more excited.

I think the reason why Trolls number is lower is because some of the kid+family audiences went see the Arrival because when I went to one showing, a good amount of the audiences were surprisingly kid and family audiences, which is not the type of movie to attract them.

[AniNate]

Could flop hard even if it does get Arrival level reviews. I think it's big-time "Doing It for the Art"

The Trolls number is huge.

Still with that number estimate for Arrival I think the per theater average might be huge than Trolls.

How did they act?

 

I passed it up temporarily for Trolls which was still extremely crowded. And this was in the middle of the afternoon. What happened to children going to school?
