Wow, this is crazy because Kong had weak presales

Or is it the presales sold inline with it's opening.

$525M would only put it slightly behind of Godzilla 2014 and it cost $25M more to make. Godzilla was considered only a minor success.

That movie will be Universal. I imagine Disney will want a piece of the box office (maybe 15-20% of the WW total) and that is it.

Bob Iger really needs to go. Disney needs new blood.

You need to give up the schtick. The movie is going to be a success and the MonsterVerse is in full swing. No plugs are going to be pulled. Find something else to downplay.

I never said this opening is bad, but it would be better off making above Godzilla numbers.

I disagree with you guys. I thought the trailer was fine. Obviously I didn't think it would catch on like this, though. 

 

Well i disagree with your disagreeing about our agreeing that the trailer was meh.

Too optimistic I know but it would be kind of cool if it did. I think it'll hit 175 though.

He wants to run for president, but the search for a new CEO has been ongoing for a couple years now.

Everything about Kong stunned me. Stunned by the reviews, stunned I liked it, stunned by the Friday, and stunned by the Saturday. I'm just way off on this movie.

Props to you @grey ghost for using The Arsenio Hall spit out juice scene from Coming to America. I'm going to tear you apart. And your friend too LOL. Classic scene.
