More from Deadline:

 

Now, some think Rogue One could tip to $70M today, and if that’s the case, it’s three-day will get closer to $150M. With so much pre-sold business, it’s hard for some analysts to see a trend this early. Weather is a bit of a factor this time around compared to last year. There were situations last night where Canadian advance ticket holders couldn’t get to the theater. Winter Storm Decima which is bringing a snowy, icy mess from the Rockies to the Northeast this weekend isn’t expected to close down any theaters, but still it could delay some moviegoers getting to the theater.

Last night was the first time I was truly impressed with the new IMAX sound system. Between the Dunkirk prologue and Rogue One it was excellent.

On a $36mil budget that's actually pretty decent.

lol nah.  even if it has a massive multiplier it would essentially need a 10x to break even.  its a very bad opening.

Solid for Rogue One. I'm so glad I downgraded my Collateral prediction. How's Manchester doing?

5th UPDATE,Friday Noon: For a sequel in December, Rogue One is off to a fantastic start, and given its momentum and positive word of mouth, it’s a movie that moviegoers will gradually make their way to during the holiday season, even if they’re not out in ultimate force this weekend, but still, with a projected weekend between $140M-$145M at 4,157 theaters, that’s pretty damn good. Currently, Friday looks like it’s in the high $60M range, including $29M from last night.

 

That would be good, and basically smack dab in between where those of us in Baumer's club and those of us out of Baumer's club were arguing. So not sure which side gets bragging rights on that number. Super early though obviously.

Yeah, we're getting Dolby upgrade in one of our theaters, and it's dual laser projectors and Atmos sound, so I'm going to be living in that theater.

You lucky bastard  It costs $20.49 here (same as the LieMAX), but I decided to splurge on RO tix. But yeah, it's better than LieMAX for sure.

Remember that number doesn't include Thursday previews.

 

Which it didn't have. Right?

Let's be honest, no one can really claim any sort of victory until at least through the first week.

DAT PASS THO

 

Won't work on a movie like R1 right now 

[The Stingray]

The only Imax we have here in Sweden was shut down yesterday (the movie opened here on Wednesday) due to security hazards, so I was forced to see it on a regular screen...

I meant about OWs. Most in Baumer's club were saying 120-135, and most out were saying 155-175. 

[Eevin]

High 60s would be terrific for Rogue One. $150m+ is still very much alive, especially if it hits $70m tonight.

We need to contribute to it's gross to bring down Baumer's club anyways 

 

Soon the rebellion will be crushed.

btw, plugging a 67m Friday into my rough set of daily calculations yields a 139.6m OW and a 467m final cume.

That sounds.... Extremely rational. Don't bring that into this thread!!

Well that would certainly make the club an exciting fight to the end.

LieMAX is over $20 in your neck of the woods? Damn. $15 here. Generally I stick with RPX since the screen size is very similar and I hate 3D. RPX at least gives me a 2D large format option and it's cheaper to boot. $11.50 matinee and $13.50 at night.
