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

It's also very early everyone. Evening shows haven't even started on the EC much less the WC. Usually rth's first update is much, much later.

[James]

If top end is 65 then it means my 62m Fri prediction might actually come true lol

I think rth is saying the number has gone either up or down from his 65 estimate 3 hours ago, unless I'm misinterpreting his post. 

I think he's saying there's plenty of time for it to go up or down.

He's OK most of the time, but yesterday he posted a Tweet that made it sound like a 20% drop to $46m in previews was somehow a worst case scenario. "Even if it drops 20% from TFA..."

 

Didn't see that, yeah that's pretty bad but I'd doubt that's what he would predict.

But have you done the Ewok movies?  And the Holiday Special?

Were the Ewok movies theatrical? Not theatrical, not worth my time.

No. He still tends to be a bit overwhelmed by the theatrical experience. Any theatrical experience. And I think in particular a movie like this would be tough for him -- not necessarily from the violence, though I think of all things [REDACTED] would make him cry --

but because the flow of all the characters and locations requires you to keep a lot of info active in your head, and he's not quite up for that yet.

 

Episode 8 is touch and go, I'll have to play that one by ear. Tele Jr hasn't seen FORCE AWAKENS yet either, though he knows who Kylo Ren is. (He hasn't seen SITH yet either.)

 

Well, if Episode 8 is no-go, Lord/Miller can give him his first live-action appearance of Han Solo in live-action after they gave it to him four years prior animated

[James]

I thought top end means higher end. So he thought 65 max 3 hrs ago. it remains to be seen whether that changes.

Ah that makes sense. Well 65 " top end" would make me feel comfortable about sub 450 finish. 

[Elessar]

If RO makes $70m today it'll finish with over $500m DOM.

That's very premature. A 70m OD would indicated around a 150m OW. No way we can then assume a 3.4x multi as being a lock off of an OW that high, even if it does in fact have good WOM. 

[baumer]

So if it goes to our God's high end of 65, then it will open to 145. Book it now LOL

Regardless of what he says the high-end is right now it is way too early to give a definitive number. He gave us our range but it could definitely go up and I could definitely go down.

Bernard Fox Dies: ‘Bewitched’, ‘Titanic’ & ‘Hogan’s Heroes’ actor was 89 http://deadline.com/2016/12/bernard-fox-dies-bewitched-hogans-heroes-died-1201870999/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=twitter-deadline …

He had a great career.  Dr. Bombay ties with Uncle Arthur as my favorite Bewitched character. Who can forget that laugh:  "BAH HA! BAH HA HA!"

Hobbit 1&2 had a multi of over 3.5. RO can do that.

Best trailer was first.

uh ex-squeeze me

 

 

[baumer]

Wow Bernard Fox was definitely a very recognizable face and a terrific actor. His line in The Lord of the Rings films, "how did it come to this" is very iconic and of course his turn as the captain in Titanic was also very memorable. RIP to a great actor.

i'll finally see moana on tuesday! been getting kinda hyped for this one though from what i'm hearing.

 

Moana has some of the best animation I've seen. The island/ocean setting just made it "lush" and imo refreshing. 

 

The nighttime scenes were just aweing. Also if you had no problem with Olaf then you wont have a problem with the chicken.

I think that was a typo, as he wrote at the time (some minutes) also tweet like:

if you are born... 21y back films - a few titles - got released, congrats (or so)

Nothing wrong with your tastes. I haven't seen RO yet but i have said for months that i wouldn't be surprised if RO is a better film than TFA.

 

Well I despise Pulp Fiction and really enjoy TF2. I also LOVE Avatar (saw it 10 times in theaters) and really don't like TDK. I know I have weird tastes compared to the vast majority
