I think it's crazy to automatically assume R1 gets a sub-3.3x multiplier, but obviously I've been wrong before.

I love how plastic surgery fools everyone - including his wife - into believing a man 3 inches shorter and 30lbs lighter is her husband.   Just like MI2 when Tom Cruise becomes 6ft Dougray Scott with just a  mask. 

 

Or, Dougray Scott becomes Tom Cruise with a mask

As a major draw? Yes. I still think he adds value to a project though.

And who is a major draw today?Leo DiCaprio...

I have a hard time imaging this missing a 3x, but 2016 has been weird.

Mr. Pink.

The prologue.

 

It was epic.

 

After the prologue I went to the kiosk to preorder tickets. I was denied.

29M previews is a good number. Not sure why some people are disappointed.

I would report them for awful customer service.

Sure, why not? Movie stars are totally dead.

 

Come on dude you know what I meant. He's done as an A list solo star, I'm not sure even he's unhappy about it but it's been a long time since he carried a blockbuster (well you could say that about all of his recent work).

Some overshot on predictions/opinions. Seems natural for this place.

[Valonqar]

this is going to be such a fun thread. 29M previews = flop! Than it opens with 180M = over 600M Locked! Than it drops like a rock on Monday. Flop! Than, rinse repeat.

Collateral Damage : 

Flop-ssengers : 

 

So what ?

 

Sing ?

Why Him ?

La La Land ?

Assassin s Creed ?

Live by Night ?

J Edgar was more of an outlier than what we've come to expect from him. Not like Smith when all of his starring work lately has brought mixed returns.

This same thing could have been said for Fantastic Beasts like a month ago. 

This is a great point and one I was thinking of myself. Why are some people thinking this will be just as front-loaded, or even more so, than TFA when we've just had a similar example a few weeks ago of more adult oriented spin-off from HP being relatively back-loaded?

 

I'm not saying this will behave similarly to FB or something, but the comp is there.

Not sure why you seem offended.

 

Will Smith isn't as big of a star anymore. We agree on that.

 

I also think that movie stars aren't nearly as important as they used to be.

You're right. Good work.
