It means Before Anyone Else, it's a fairly new phrase created by black culture in America.

So for me to call you my bae, it means you're my favourite girl. In this context the favourite girl on BOT.

The Episodes and the Spin Offs shouldn't be compared.   This wasn't an "Event" Star Wars film but ironically it's performing like one anyway.   The brand name of "Star Wars" will always fill seats period.   If estimates hold, Disney should be very happy because this film doesn't feature really any "Fan Favorites".   Yes there are plenty of "Callbacks, fan service" for original Star Wars fans but no "Huge" Characters outside of a few cameos (Vader is clearly the biggest call back for original fans)   So 100 Million less OW than "Awakens" after all it's built up hype is great.   Christmas should sustain it's legs.  "Star Wars" films do 3x mutipler's in it's sleep as well.   Also this is the first time in film history that a new Star Wars film was released Theatrically in back to back years.

Pretty awesome movie...just got back from a late night show in Diego.  Half full, start at 1145.  Favorite part, prob the baze and chirrut team.

Lol never heard that description. Bae just means babe, it's an annoying abbreviation and pet word for someone. Like calling your girlfriend bae. Extremely stupid and painful in every respect. Think Twilight audience, they would use that term.

Interesting.

Well I just got back from my Saturday night IMAX showing, it was pretty full (I saw people in the very front row. Yikes @ the thought of that), and afterwards people clapped a bit, so that was cool.

 

@AABATTERY

Still the same crappy previews I got at the midnight showing, so yeah, they're not changing them for at least a few weeks. Why these morons aren't putting the second GotG Vol 2 trailer before the film is beyond me.

Where do you live? Australia? Its saturday morning here

3000 comments before official Sat numbers... Impressive.

[Lordmandeep]

Well with The Big Short last year, La La Land this year, and Blade Runner he seems to finally be adding some well known films to his resume beyond the Notebook. 

What about Drive?

Half my theater laughed hysterically at the end of the Cars 3 trailer. Only thing that got a bigger reaction was the last joke in Guardians trailer

This one dude said out loud "Lightning McQueen doesn't die, he becomes a meth addict" to which his female friend yelled a few seats over "OMG WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!1"

 

At first I was wondering why these people were freaking out over the Cars 3 trailer, but then it dawned on me that they were around 8 when the first Cars came out.

[JonathanLB]

I've never seen Cars. They all looked bad to me but I guess I should give them a chance!

Don't forget The Nice Guys as well! That scene with him on the toilet still makes me laugh every time I think about it.

New Zealand. We're far ahead of the rest of the world (with timezones anyway ).

17 hours ahead of where you live I believe.

Paging @James and @SteveJaros!!  Where ya'll at??

 

I've been around all day ... Saw R1 Friday morning, was very impressed. Enjoyed it a lot.

[MCKillswitch123]

OMG I MADE IT TO THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

^{_{(*disclaimer to new members* I'm not a girl, I just surround myself in female stuff because hot chicks, so... don't hit on me... unless YOU'RE a girl)}}

 

And, GOOD, I CAN FEEL YOUR MONEY, Rogue One. 73M OD is damn good and right in line w/my 150M+ prediction.

That's True.  I don't watch enough of his rom-coms but Drive.  Yea, drive.  He was amazing as a quiet spoken hero. 

[filmlover]

Fences looking at a $108K weekend from 4 theaters for a PTA of $27K. Should do much better in wide release on Christmas Day, it feels like this limited start was added at the 11th hour.

[Quigley]

After the results of Friday, it is now very likely that Disney will finish the year with a domestic BO north of $3B, the first time ever in cinematic history that a studio has achieved this.
