And Wednesday increase will be softer. In the end, it's mostly assured FB will be in the 109-110M range before 2nd weekend. +150M for 10 day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Pretty good holds since the preview number, looks like it can be a bit more leggy than traditional Potter films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Quote Standalone film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story — one of the biggest box-office curiosities of the year — is projected to open to $130 million-plus in North America over the Dec. 16-18 weekend, which would mark the second-biggest December opening of all time after last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The movie came on tracking Tuesday morning, with some services suggesting it could even approach $150 million. The pre-Christmas corridor isn't known for huge openings, since consumers are distracted by holiday preparations. Prior to Force Awakens, no December film had ever launched north of $85 million, and that includes Avatar. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/rogue-one-a-star-wars-story-tracking-huge-130m-us-debut-949896?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumos Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) That is an extremely good number for Fantastic Beasts. Anything over 6m yesterday would have been a big win in my books. This film WILL have legs people.... Edited November 22, 2016 by Lumos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 If it's at $150M by Sunday that will guarantee $200M+. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisman0606 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Fantastic Beasts, Moana, and Doctor Strange may be the only movies this year to be in the 200 million area domestic, unless Passengers and Sings both go crazy and hit 200 million also.

Heretic Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 That is excellent for FB. This is acting the polar opposite to the later Potter films. 200m so far is looking good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Sing looks like a hard pass from me. I'd say it's a kids movie but that's not true as many kids movies have sprinkled elements adults will/can enjoy. The whole premise just isn't appealing to me but maybe the masses will eat it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 ^^^^ I don't know, did they? I recall something to the effect of, "It's got limited appeal due to not everyone being pet people", or something like that. I'm just not a fan of the reality tv singing show(which I know the masses eat up) so maybe singing animals will light up the box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHepBurn Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Good hold. Like I said in the weekend thread, I really don't think FB is going to be front loaded. It's a HP spinoff but tangentially connected, contains none of the main characters and has no large connection to the main book series. It's simply not built as something HP fans will absolutely have to see first day/week but is set up as something that should pull in enough casual interest that should bode well for a solid run. It'll do well overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I expected it to have a better hold than most Harry Potter films being much less family audiences turning up. Likely to have weaker weekend increases but still I think a solid number. Edited November 22, 2016 by eXtacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
