[Brainbug]

What the hell it could eclipse TFA 530M

[DAJK]

Fuuuuck  Spark couldn't even get 50k for Friday. I can't believe I put 1M for it. How many other Survivor players are going to get 0% on it?

I'm not mad at the drop, it was inevitable. I just wish it could done maybe $10 mil more. The series was having a nice progression - $70m, $86, $97. Taking out outlier F7, that's only a $3 mil increase in 4 years. That and the fact that F8 wasnt bad. It's what I wish 7 was.

 

This goes to show just how popular Paul was. That extra $40m+ or so came from him. He was the most Googled person in the world and the most googled trend back in 2013 even though he died around a month before the year was up. That's above Mandela, iphone 5s, Boston bombing, Gandofini, Zimmerman trial, and the Royal baby. Paul may not have been the all around Pitt or Leo, but this was his franchise.

 

Paul wasn't popular. He was well liked but nobody rush to see his films. He's death was popular which skyrocketed Fast 7.

China is looking at ~190.

So 100 + 190 = 290 from US+China

Needs 240 from OS-China to beat Force Awakens.

That's what having China included in the opening will do for you.

Great numbers for FF 8, but I guess 3D is really helping it.

Between this and Rock Dog, animated films haven't treated me well this year.

It's not 3D in the US. F7 went through a similar thing.

Well that's what you get for predicting hard on animated films that are essentially duds.

And it had done $85m in the non US/China markets on Wednesday and Thursday.

 

So another $155m over 3 days in those other markets is doable.

 

Especially since alot of the international markets didn't open til Friday.
