Question for those very familiar with box office performance: What is going to keep Power Rangers from performing similar to GI Joe 2? They both opened on the same weekend in March, both are based on children's franchises, both follow installments that underperformed (granted, PR's was all the way back in '97), they both fall under the similar genres, and they both pulled in $40.5M on opening weekend. And GI Joe ended up with a 3.03x multiplier. Is there any reason Power Rangers can't do the same?

GI Joe 2 was a thursday release. 1 day of burned demand before OW.

Life ended up beating PR in Australia but Boss Baby came through for second place.

It's getting replaced as part of a W Hotel.  It will still be the biggest screen in the world but slightly smaller.  Opens 2019.

Logan is 5m behind Days of Future Pants so 225-230m is probably gonna be the final number.

I notice you always call the film Days of Future Pants instead of Days of Future Past. Is that a deliberate choice or just a typo?

[johnboy3434]

Okay, how likely is it that Power Rangers will perform like Allegiant did? Throwing out Thursday previews, that's a 2.48x multiplier, which would translate to ~$91.5M DOM for PR.

Of course not. I don't want to get arrested for public masturbation

Yeah and when It comes to Imax and 3D in most cases they are forcing you to 3D except where they may offer IMax 2D or Imax 3D session. With BATB for example where they are doing that Imax 2D wins and with PLF 2D is like double PLF 3D (other films can be closer between formats depends whats being offered)

 

 

Post converted 3D, in general, is just a sloppy, and not so nice to watch. Good riddance I'd say.

Best case scenario for Power Ranges is a 130M cume, which would probably get it a sequel.

 

A sequel would be a bad idea.

 

Would probably end up with less than 30/100 (OW/DOM).

Yeah, but if they slash the budget to 50-60M, they can easily make up for that.

Why would they bother to go to that extent?

Count yourself in a lucky area if you only have one kind of IMAX. Here in the city, small scale IMAX screens are popping up, not nearly the size of even a premium screen back in the day. There's also a difference between analog film IMAX and digital IMAX. Analog is superior but digital is darn close. So that difference isn't much of a game changer.

 

What about 35mm and 70mm and other special formats? Anybody go out of their way for that? I tried to see Interstellar in 35mm but it didn't happen. But I did see The Hateful Eight in 70mm and I gotta say, it was worth it!

 

IMAX's 2k projectors don't look very good on the old school giant IMAX screens (originally installed with 70mm film projection). Their 4k Laser projection seems very very good from what I saw of Dunkirk's Prologue. Maybe not a true replacement yet for 70mm IMAX projection, but they are moving in the right direction.

I travelled 27 hours by train to catch The Hateful Eight on 70mm in a 1,000-seat auditorium. Worth it.

Cool. There's not many 70mm theaters out there that aren't IMAX nowadays.

Hsx is betting power rangers hits 92 million by April 26th
