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

[DeeCee]

The first two thirds of R1 were really great and built up well to the big payoff in the final third. 

[MovieMan89]

Would be fitting for E8 to do right around 800 and E9 right around 900. 

[DAJK]

Tbh I just personally hope this opens higher than 150.

 

Please America. Go see this movie

Oh lordy.  

[Blankments]

I'm getting the urge to try out Clone Wars on Netflix. This happened last year with TFA too lol

Oh lordy.  

You probably think SS is better than Beyond as well. Don't lie NuTella; we know you gave them the same rating.

Meteorologists going with that Final Fantasy naming convention

 

@DAR was referring to Person of Interest.

Domestically? Yes, it should easily beat CW domestically unless it completely collapses.

 

I don't think it finishes #1 WW. SW movies tend to have lower dom/OS splits than other big blockbusters and I don't think it'll be big enough domestically to make up the difference. But it has a chance.

 

Unless it nears $600m domestic I don't think it comes near CW WW - unless China goes crazy.

I am leaning yes, but I need a 2nd viewing to confirm.

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.

 

I can't like this enough.

If it follows the Star Wars 2nd in a trilogy pattern Ep8 will drop 30%+.  Though this one has the hook of having Luke for more than 5 seconds - presumably.

Choose wisely.

 

[EmpireCity]

Again, based on anecdotal evidence I can see and some that Rallax has, I could see the number surprising tonight and hitting mid $70's for Friday.  

 

Depends on weather and other factors, but there are a shitload of presales and now walk up business that was not on Thursday night.  Signs are pointing to the being non-front loaded.  

 

@Christmas Baumer might need to get props from me on this performing more like a spin off like Fantastic Beasts did where the preview number is big but not overwhelming but the true Friday number is bigger than expected.  

[MovieMan89]

Oh lordy, 70 OD would put Baumer's club too far in the danger zone for my liking. 

 

EDIT: Lmfao, I just noticed after posting Tele said oh lordy a few posts above, which is something I never say in the first place.

This is where I disagree with you massively once again. When a film opens to a record, and not just a little bit but by a massive amount, a record opening weekend and then has a 3.6 multiplier. That is definitely not just Nostalgia that is people actually enjoying the hell out of the film.

 

I have a theory that it was the hardcore fans going over and over again. I have no idea if it's correct or not, but we shall soon find out.

Jlaw & Pratt will rebel.

 

 

Passengers will probably underperform as well. Star power alone can't sell a film these days anyway.

Not sure if it's an inside joke or pure Trolling or Serious.

 

 

RO has flaws but almost everything is better than STB
