Daisy Ridley, Felicity Jones & Emma Watson are the biggest draws of modern box office as far as actresses are concerned no doubt.

 

 

 

Don't forget Zoe Saldaña, Kate Winslet, ans Bryce Dallaa Howard.

None of them are really "draws."  They just so happened to star in some big hits.

I wonder where Disney's planning on putting The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (which doesn't have a release date but is shooting right now it appears). Perhaps that's the movie they have set for August 2018 or March 2019 that is currently reserved for something?

That's exactly the thought behind Futurist’s sarcastic comment. You don't think he was serious about Watson being a draw, do you?

Watson I would consider to be a draw, honestly.  She was apparently the reason that a third of the opening night audience attended.

Whoa! Will it open higher than Iron Man 3?

Nope, if BnB opens at around $170m DOM, I'd say $300m is a "lock", but nothing more in terms of intervals of $100m. Remember, BvS opened in similar territory and finished at around $330m.  

 

And if you think that's a crazy outlier, remember that CACW opened at $180m and yet despite rave reviews just creeped over $400m DOM.

 

IOW's, while $400m would be likely for BnB, it wouldn't be a lock, so $500m even less so. 

 

I'm sure other people have responded to this already but I don't know where so I will just comment on it as well.

 

You cant mention BvS and BnB in the same conversation. When was truly is 5 by most the general going public where is Beauty and the Beast is absolutely adored by the people have seen it. Giving it also has an incredible Nostalgia Factor going for it. The critical and fan response has pretty much been very positive so not only is 300,000,000 absolutely locked so is 400 million.

 

I do agree with you that anything after 400 million is not walk because anything can really happen. But even if it's for only to get a 2.5 multiplier it reaches 425. So 400 is locked.

Disney has Frozen the stage musical to deal with, it's going to at least 15-20 years before we see Frozen as a live action film.

 

I have said it before but Hunchback needs the live action treatment,

Isn't that a Christmas movie though?

[Brainbug]

That is kind of an insane hold for Kong. Really playing like a family movie with these huge Sat increases.

[The Panda]

That's a good drop for Kong and a pretty good drop for Logan.

 

Logan should push its way over 200m, it might be able to challenge DOFP or Last Stand if it develops legs after this.

Can a $1b March happen with those numbers?

[Finnick]

GET OUT 13.2M / TOTAL 133.1M!! AMAZING!!!!!

Don't know. Their next few holiday seasons are packed, though (Thor, Coco, Star Wars this year; Mulan, Gigantic, Mary Poppins Returns in 2018).

 

I could see Mulan moving to March 2019, though.
