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

Saw Moana and it was surprisingly emotional.

So many changed colours of members.... still so many without a colour. 

 

Come to the dark side ... aehm gold side. Or silver. Or Green... or copper

Only a Star Wars movie could have made me switch from copper to gold right in the middle of my copper month

Moana is not going to just make $30 million by the end of the year.  Considering how well it's performing and how parallel its performance is to TS2, I think anything north of $50 million is a possibility if not a given.

Box office bombs don't come much more deserving than Collateral Beauty

Really? 

 

Why?

 

I liked it immensely.

I'm going to make a BOT Fanfiction where Water Bottle is the Emperor, and CJohn and Baumer are having a little power squabble about their new fully operational Mod Battle Station.

 

Tele of course is...

 

I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THOSE WHATSAPP CHATS

 Well you see, it's Oscar baity, therefore it should do bad. Please understand. 

[EmpireCity]

I still think $160m+ is in play for Rogue One.  If it gets to $50m today has a good chance.

Awful trailer, awful reviews, I'm feeling pretty confident in my schadenfreude.

 

You liked it, great. But let's just say you're not exactly someone I consult for movies that match my taste.

Weather looking bad might screw it over, but could happen.

The Manchester increase is perfectly fine. It added 800+ theaters and is now getting overshadowed by both RO and La La Land. Should have a $4.5m weekend which is right where I expected it, and it's only just getting started really.

Is $50m plausible at this point? Pure Friday gross was $42m, if it plays like TFA it gets to ~$46m. However, we are already seeing signs of backloadedness for RO at this point...we'll see.

Right now, factoring in $72 million for R1 on Friday, Disney is at about $2.6B. How much more are their films going to earn in the next two weeks? Figure maybe $30 million more for Moana, so that would mean R1 has to be at about $430m on 12/31 for Disney to hit $3 Billion. 

Would love to see it but is it really possible? 

 

Up to Thursday, Disney had made $2,530M (not incl. Rogue One's Thu-night gross). Moana is actually expected to make another $45-60M until the year's end. As for Rogue One, based on $152M opening weekend, if it follows the trajectory of SW7 it will make between $400-440M by Dec 31. If it follows Sherlock Holmes 2 (which opened on the same date in 2011 – Dec 16), it will make between $470-480M. These two are the best comparisons I've found. An average brings it to $435-460M. At the low end of these projections: 2,530 + 45 + 435 = 3,010

 

It will be close but I think that Rogue One's OW will actually be higher than $152M and it will have a higher multiple than SW7, so Disney will make it to $3B. And even if it doesn't it will be really close. So to answer your question: YES, it is really possible and indeed probable, but not certain.

Anecdotal, but my best friend, who pretty much never goes to the movies, is going to see RO today. Don't even think he saw TFA in theaters.

Canada is basically extra American states.

 

And had the invasion of Quebec succeeded back in the day, it might actually be! 

 

 

Well it is considered  North America, so I can see that.
