Alrighty, I will be sure to keep an eye out on what those two say. Also,hope you enjoy it.

I've been a PR fan since I was 5-6, seeing it with some friends for my birthday. @Rth and the Beast and @EmpireCity have excellent sources with numbers and are arguably the most reliable sources.

Great if Kong gets 15 for 134.

 

Would leave it on track for 170 if in the remaining weekends it does

9+5+3+2+1+1.5 (including dollar bump)=21.5,

which would lead to about 14.5 more from the remaining weekdays combined (using it's weekend to weekday ratio).

134+21.5+14.5=170 dom

 

170 dom + 150 current os + 75 more from current os markets + 135 china + 20 japan = 550 ww

LOW  for Power Rangers

 

Toldja trailer views mean nothing @WrathOfHan

 

Isn't the movie with the most views that will have the biggest opening that weekend or... why are you saying that.

Got called out of work so going to watch Life!

But the number of views is huge. it announced a big weekend. it just didn't happen. 40M is mediocre

Seeing Life Monday as my first R rated movie without a parent or sneaking in.

It's TMNT 2 level. That's why I'm kind of disappointed.

[Gokira2012]

expect power rangers mat to be 30 - 50% full and after 6pm to be sold out

In August, I think even with reviews PR would have done at least $65M OW.

Gokira has entered the 5 stages of loss: Stage 1: Denial.

40M is mediocre for a Liongates release ? that would put it in their top 10 of all time.

 

As for the views being huge, is that still true after adjusting for the very Youtube heavy target audience and known IP factor ?

 

Regardless, I'm pretty sure there will still have a strong correlation between trailers views and the first weekend box office of this weekend, making that variable more than nothing and a tool better than random at predicting success.

Which makes you wonder. Who's bright idea it was to put it the week after BATB.

Originally it was supposed to arrive 7/22/16, then 1/13/17, and now 3/24/17. However $40M is by no means a bad OW for Rangers, it'll at least finish with $95M with this number. Since it has a cheap budget with a $250M finish seems good but Lionsgate should be cautious and give PR2 a good release.

The fact you and @CJohn love it makes me wonder if the ending is even worse when watching it in person

 

Wow. What an ugly thing to say.

Are we cross?

Isn't PR kind of following along with expectations for it?

Not really. Box office doesn't work like that.

Too many kids would be starting school for a 65m opening

Yes,but some of us were hoping it do more. So we would get more movies and such. I'm not like Gokira2012 though. I never thought it be Marvel level. His past coments were just silly. Plus,like others said the spot they picked for it was just silly. Lionsgate had to know BATB would be a monster.
