Anyone remember what the preview numbers were for CW and AOU?

AoU - 27.6m

CW - 25m

[The Futurist]

Any significant sporting event in 'Murica happenning this week-end that we should know about ?

 

No Wrestlemania match between Kanye & Trump ?

Those would probably cause meltdowns.   I'm thinking  somewhere in 38-40 range

Easily under lol. Even his WW total will be under R1 previews.

 

You underestimate the POWAH of the Monster Trucks brand.

Pretty free on the sports front.  Only potential hiccup is weather.

I don't know if it will get that high. Let's just keep expectations at 30m+. It's almost certainly getting to 30, 35 wouldn't surprise me though.

I'd say it's pretty likely we see $30m at a minimum.

If it's 30-35 that would be great too.

 

I'm just looking at the rest of the forum, in case they need comforting.  @CJohn

We're here for you

Nah, I don't see it going that high. That total seems very optimistic.

[Plain Old Tele]

28-35m seems like a good range, based on what we're seeing with various tracking. The numbers usually seem to come in a little below what I guess, so my current prediction would be the lower part of that range. 28-31m, maybe.

[Water Bottle]

So if this movie is a box office success, I wonder if any of the characters will show up in Episode 9? I assume it's too late to add them to Episode 8.

[GiantCALBears]

Anything under $25m & palms will start to get a bit sweaty I'm sure even though it would be a solid start.

Lol it was always going to be a "success" right man? I guess you mean with critical and fan support in addition to BO?

Yeah, i'd be worried with a number that 'low.'

I'm not sure my inkling is perhaps a character or two gets a mention in some canon material

Yeah, with critical/fan support. If the characters are popular and sell lots of merchandising, why keep them to one movie and I assume future cartoon appearances? I mean unless they die (haven't seen the movie, just speaking theoretically speaking here)...

So an OW in the 126-139m range using TFA preview-weekend ratio. Let's assume the multi is higher and it hits the upper ceiling which is 150m. That's still a far cry from the 175m+ prediction a lot of people around here are throwing. I'm gonna put my weekend prediction at 132-133m. Let's see how close I get.

The characters would all be too old to have the current actors play em, though.

I wonder how a science fiction franchise with magic The Force could possibly ever get around that.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Tele low-balling per usual 

 

Except when he backs Michael Mann/Terminator 2....
