BEAUTY AND THE BEAST WEEKEND THREAD | Late Sunday Numbers (Asgard) - 48-49M | Official Weekend Estimate: 170M; OS OW: 180M; WW OW: 350M

[grey ghost]

What's the O/U for Thursday preview number meltdowns. 

 

I say anything under 13 m.

 

It would be a shame if that happened. 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Don't know when I'll see BatB. Was thinking tomorrow morning, but all the morning shows are packed.

Still thinking that BvS can kiss its March record goodbye...

Emma Watson is the new Chris Pratt.

 

Everyone assumes they're a major draw when they're in successful tentpoles.

 

Her star power will be tested with The Circle to some extent.

 

Remember, JLaw took a movie like Joy and made it more successful than it had any reason to be.

 

That's star power.

 

 

 

 

To be fair Passengers made 100m, and it was a turd of a movie with terrible marketing.  You have to give credence to both Pratt and JLaw for that.

I think it would need some really good reviews to get that high. But it's def got a good shot at it.

Idk. It's a thriller but it feels like an indie they are trying to make bigger than what it is because of the cast. Ponsoldt's work isn't for everyone.  I'll be happy if it makes 10m OW.

She had taken a one-two punch to her career.

 

Mockingjay 2 and X-men Apocalypse.

 

Her star power has dwindled ever since.

I completely disagree with you. I don't think many people thought that she was going to be a superstar. You don't go from a series like Harry Potter and then all the sudden transcend that into superstardom. Look at any other popular YA series or just any other popular series. People don't move on from those and right away transition into an A-list actor. It was always going to take her some time to get good rolls and to be in films people care about. This will certainly help.

 

First of all, I never said that people expected her to become a superstar, but, an acclaimed actress, that's the reason why she choose to go to the Indie scenario, unfortunately, most of her works didn't work. And, what? Emma isn't a superstar? If being in the biggest YA franchise of history, playing an iconic role, and being one of the most populars persons on world right now don't make you a superstar, what does it make?

The Harry Potter kids (at least 2 of them) have been way more successful than I thought they would be away from the series. Especially Radcliffe, who looks like he'll have a really long, really great career. Didn't see that coming, tough to break through that Harry Potter typecast.

We all saw Rupert Grint go back into oblivion however...

That's star power.

 

 

 

 

Let's not forget that JLaw also brought $300m WW for an original sci-fi, that was trashed by critics, if wasn't for her, it would have made JA's numbers.

The sequel to Goon comes out today in Canada. That is the one I will be seeing tonight after work. The entire cast from the first one is returning including Sean Williams Scott Jay Baruchel Liev Schreiber and they even got actors like Elisha Cuthbert, TJ Miller and Wyatt Russell. I can't wait to see it as it looks really hilarious and it got great reviews also.

I liked the first one quite a bit, which surprised me. Had a ton of heart.

While I agree with Pink that his T4 gif is his best work, I think his "Intensify Forward Firepower gif" after "grab them by the pussy" happened is a close second.

I need to see that GIF

I didn't know that.  I hope it shows up somewhere I can see it.  Goon was great

I had it bookmarked on my old computer. Would need to search through so many pages of the 2016 election thread to find it.

[Cmasterclay]

Really bad number from China. Thats a huge disappointment. No way this hits 120 this weekend.
