2017 just feels so stale. 

[terrestrial]

Mark Hamill likes Tennyson...

Oh hey the time slots are back

[Eevin]

Just saw Rogue One for the first time. (insert relatable clapping GIF here)

Side note, that Dunkirk IMAX prologue kills. $200m+ looks plausible to me now.

I know, but that was their weekend prediction from 3 days ago. 

 

The numbers I posted are from boxoffice.com's early weekend estimates from yesterday(12/31)

Not saying it will be right, but I think it is interesting to see the different predictions... and how they did not match or how bad the not match was. 

In a way a lot of my posts are like a messenger brings news / updates

See above also I was not 'correcting/disputing' you,  I was adding to the picture of them... often being not that good in the predictions they do.

Happy New Year fellow box-office nerds! 

 

Any early estimates over Saturday's numbers?

Happy New Years to everyone.

[MCKillswitch123]

Sad Old Month, nobody.

 

[Arlborn]

As if this year will be any better... But hey, we at least can pretend it will for a little while, until it isn't.

[DeeCee]

Having now lived in 2017 longer then most of you I think I can now reveal all hope may be lost.

Still about Friday's but see OS thoughts

 

Quote

Rogue One led the way with $18.18 million on Friday for an 15-day total of $393.55 million. This is lower than expected and it will fall week-to-week; however, it will finish the three-day weekend with just over $50 million becoming the third film released in 2016 to get to $400 million domestically in the process. It also remained on pace for $500 million domestically and $1 billion worldwide.

Sing earned $16.8 million.... That puts it on pace to crack $200 million in January. It won’t make enough money to break even just on its domestic numbers, but it will break even before the home market.

 

Quote

with second hand estimates for Passengers, but if they are correct and the film earned $5.6 million on Friday, then it will be beating our expectations. This is great news for Sony who have had a terrible year and can’t afford another massive failure. ... it could break even... eventually. Even if it just comes close, it will be better than a lot of its other films the studio has released this year.

[baumer]

Sing wont break even domestically?

 

In what world?

[XO21]

Why Sony is not giving numbers

 

$60m total through Jan 2 is wrong

Ghostbusters with 128.35 is Sony's top grosser of the year.
