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

[Mattrek]

For what it's worth of a random users opinion as a non die hard Star Wars fan (love the originals, meh on the prequels): I absolutely loved Rogue One. Way, way, way better than The Force Awakens. The characters you cared about, the action was spectacular and it just felt like Star Wars through and through. I give it an A and I plan to see it again.

Yes. For 37 years now.

I think if it only makes 50-55% of what TFA made in North America, then the rest of the world will be much less than that. Perhaps an average of somewhere between 40-45% overseas.

 

Sticking with my prediction from Baumers under 450 thread, 400DOM under 1B WW.

50-55% of TFA is like 470-515m DOM

I'm predicting a bad multiplier! In baumer's thread I predicted the 150 OW followed by the 400 total dom.

Sub-3x during the holidays?

 

Good luck.

Do I detect a sorta kinda TFA mini-backlash? Why?

[pieman]

I'm expecting this to be much less of a crowd-pleaser than Force Awakens was. This is far too complex, dark, and different to win over a lot of people.

It seems as though those who told us TFA was great are now saying "this is the SW film I was waiting for!"

 

 

[GuardianDevil]

Ooh like Empire!!

No backlash. I'm a casual fan who didn't enjoy the movie. Characters meant nothing to me, the plot I don't even remember, the action felt forced, the scenes didn't feel like Star Wars. It felt like a movie someone decided to make and then slap the Star Wars brand on.

I'm a casual fan and I feel the exact opposite. This is a crowd pleasing movie.

I've gotta say, I have seen a lot of this too.

 

Wonder if it has any implications on Episode VIII's box office.

Seems to me someone doesn't like Star Wars.

Because it was a monster hit and they always get backlash. Happens with every monster hit. Titanic, Avatar, even The Avengers. TFA is no different.

Exactly the same here! Let me add to that, Rey was awful, it was bland and unimaginative, zero action, anh deathstar plot, too much fan service (member chewbacca?), not a single great moment.

 

I really enjoyed Episode 4-6 and grew up watching 1-3 to I also enjoyed them.

That is exactly how I feel about this movie. Word for word, that's exactly what I thought after it ended. Also I wasn't around for TFA, RO brought me back into the movie fold. I never liked TFA. Anyways it's 5am here so I should go to bed. Night all.
