ROGUE ONE WEEKEND THREAD | Actuals R1 155.09m, Moana 12.7m, OCP 8.58m, CB 7.1m, FB 5.07m

So I guess we can cross out Friedman as a credible source in the future.

Obviously a very good #, though surprised it didn't break 30m. Weather could've been a factor (and will be a factor this weekend).

[JohnnyGossamer]

$29M! NOOOOOOO! Hopefully it's backloaded a la Civil War and that still means $175M+ OW. Personally, I had to reschedule my viewing until today at 3PM.

I thought Gravity was a ground breaking film. Those FX were INSANE.

Gravity probably will transcend time like many of the greats.

I've recently watched the OT.  What stands out in not necessarily a good way was all the new flashy additions.  It becomes rather distracting(looking in direction Jedi Rocks).  But the stuff that works is the little additions, like a punch up of a background.

Lol people stop. i am used to how modern movies look. And I love it.  that's it.

 

Alright, then. But guess what? So am I. I'm a teenager too. I'm completely used to the Avengers and Interstellar style VFX festivals. Ain't stopping me from staying the Star Wars OT looks great for the time it came out and the importance it has on modern filmmaking. Without ANH's effects, you wouldn't have the way modern blockbusters look. The effects in your beloved Harry Potter movies kinda owe their existence to Star Wars.

 

That's what I'm (and I guess we're, though I speak for myself) trying to teach you.

4TH UPDATE, Friday 8AM: Disney is calling Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘s preview night at $29M, which is 51% of the record $57M that  Force Awakens made a year ago on its Thursday night. It’s the biggest preview night of the year, slotting ahead of Batman v. Superman ($27.7M) and Captain America: Civil War ($25M).

But you can't compare it to modern movies. The vfx aren't bad, you can't call them bad because 40 years of advancement as occurred, that's a false equivalency.

 

Why not? Some people don't know or don't care what a movie did back in time. They put the disc in, see the Tauntaun moving all herky-jerky and think to himself "that looks bad" and he would actually not be wrong.

Tele was right. Dude just took the high end of the range and ran with it. On a bright note, a superior preview number to BvS($166M OW) and CW($179M OW). There's still hope.

The best graphics in the world when I was in 3rd grade. I couldn't get enough of it.

God, you're old

[GiantCALBears]

$29m is still more than CW & BVS, not bad at all. $180m+/$600m+ predicts are likely dead at this point. 

[water]

im surprised they didn't go with 30 and just take the million from fri-sat-sun

My guess, it's less front loaded than TFA (4.36) but more front loaded than BVS (5.99).
