Thanks, ok. Using 115 3-day and the same 2.4x (for which I have no basis. Just guessing.),

115*2.4 + 85 (adding back Wed and Thu) = ~360 OS-China

230 dom (100*2.3x) + 410 China (190*2.1x) + 360 OS-China = 1b WW

 

That 360 looks too small considering F7 did an insane 740 OS-China. Maybe I am using a small multiplier but 2.4 on first glance looks healthy enough.

But considering 85 has been burnt off Wed and Thu, the multiplier will be better. So Using 3x,

115*3 + 85 (adding back Wed and Thu) = ~430 OS-China

230 dom (100*2.3x) + 410 China (190*2.1x) + 430 OS-China = 1.07b WW

 

Edit: It did 155 OS-China Fri-Sun 

So will stick to the original calculation,

155*2.4 + 85 (adding back Wed and Thu) = ~460 OS-China

230 dom (100*2.3x) + 410 China (190*2.1x) + 460 OS-China = 1.1b WW

 

 

Wait, I'm confused, aren't we talking about the WW OW?

I was breaking down WW OW into Dom, China and OS-China, and then assigning them multipliers.

Dom : 100 * 2.3x = 230

China : 190 * 2.15 = 410

OS-China : 85 (Wed-Thu) + 155 (FSS) * 2.4 = 460 

230 + 410 + 460 = 1.1b WW

F8 is actually going to increase from F6. Which is really good especially since F7 is the anomaly in the franchise 

 

 

Overseas, yes, but we don't know anything about the final domestic number, though. Too early to say.

 

With GTG 2 coming in 2 weeks, chances are that its legs will be cut a lot by the Marvel engine. It may get a higher domestic number than Furious 6, but not a huge difference imo. I predict anything between 235/250 million, but nothing more and nothing less.

I was talking about its OW since that's what the original discussion was about.

I see, but I don't think F8 opening weekend will be that much higher than FF6, for example.

I thought Easter weekend was supposed to be a big holiday weekend. Seems like most people were cashed out from last month. Although F8 will still reach 100 OW. Which is nothing to sneeze at.

I know that. My point was that the fact that F8 even slightly increased over F6 should be seen as good. Typically the further in a franchise you are, the less the film makes. So the fact that F8 is increasing over F6 during its OW is actually good when you consider that F7 was the anomaly in the franchise. 

 

My response in general was to the comments that the opening for F8 is disappointing. When if you take F7 out of the equation, F8's opening is on par with the rest of the franchise and even increasing (even if it's slightly) from F6.

GET OUT BEATING LOGAN

AND Kong: Skull Island

AND Ghost In The Shell

AND The Case of Christ

AND pretty much Power Rangers & Gifted

[Ozymandias]

Absurd numbers in China.  When the next Bayformers movie makes 2-3 times as much in China as it does here... sigh

[baumer]

Oh man. Davincis back. Get ready for black oppression talk 24/7

F8 is the most pathetic $534M Worldwide All-Time Opening Record disappointment in box office history.

Would it really be that much of a surprise to see Get Out ahead of Power Rangers once the actuals are released on Monday?  Throughout its run, estimates for Power Rangers have been revised downward.  The same thing may happen this weekend.

[John Marston]

lol Power Rangers 

[baumer]

At this point does anybody really give a s*** if Get Out is going to finish $50,000 ahead of Power Rangers? You talking about films they're just barely in the top 10 at this point. It's just DaVinci Code guy making a big deal again out of something that doesn't need to be made a big deal out of

More tickets per dollar because of where it plays well, so if anything it's a stronger 500 million than either force awakens or Jurassic world. I think anyway.

Aka "I don't like these movies so the fact that millions of people around the world are watching the new one and setting box office records is pathetic and stupid".
