Why is it so hard to find preview grosses on BOM?

 

You have to look in the news articles, mainly the "weekend preview" articles. They update them Friday morning to report the preview grosses. Here is an example:

They don't exist there.

Just genuinely curious (I respect your opinion, and I am not gonna condemn you for bucking the trend in terms of SW-related conventional wisdom): what do you dislike about Star Wars: A New Hope ?

Cheesy dialogue, awful acting ( vader and leia phahaha), awful vfx.

 That's just patently not true.

Im out of the loop, whats this i just saw about 200m weekend?

no numbers gor released, one thingie that gor posted might be based on deadline's very wide range of 'prediction', people think about theoretical possibilities, but do not belief in that unconfirmed by recognised outlets, number. Not even early shooter deadline has it.

Thanks! 

I enjoy SW:ANH tremendously, but those are certainly valid complaints.

There is a topic on this forum listing the biggest preview numbers.

I only found this:

James was born in 2006.  He has not idea how groundbreaking the visual effects were in ANH because his point of reference starts in 2009.

I don't have much hope for 40m in previews, but I think 35 could happen.

 

But you know what they say. Great OW's are built on HOPE

The early HP movies had horrible acting... and awful CGI in the quidditch scenes and those were made in 2001.

Disney's trying to torment everyone here. They won't release the preview numbers at all and we'll all have to wait until tomorrow morning. Back to the early 2000s we go!

 

Still better than waiting for the latest Entertainment Weekly mag just to get the top 10 weekend estimates (mid 90's).

I'm sorry dude, I don't like to judge opinions, but the VFX complaint is just ridiculous. It was 1977 for Christ's sake, did you expect Avatar effects out of a movie from that year? Hell, The Phantom Menace looked legit MINDBLOWING back in 1999. Context.

My guess is some media outlet latched onto the high end of DHD's absurd 25-40m "estimate".

Yep, same happened with 300M OW by CJohn.

[misafeco]

I'm hoping for a 39.9M number. I have to win the O/U 40M bet.

 ANH has better effects than most movies today.
