F8 domestically will face GOTG2 in three full weeks (two more weekends included). The real problem F8 may face comes in the international markets ... cause next wednesday GOTG2 starts running in half of the intl. markets (bigs ones included), and a week after comes the other half of the intl. markets and then, on friday, domestically. That early intl. opening may cut F8 legs sensibly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The last one grossed 1.5 billion. This will more than likely do about 1.2 billion. To maintain 80% of it's audience on a global scale is quite amazing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkKnightOfSteel Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It seems likelier and likelier with each new info that BaTB will end up with a hugher groos than F8.As it should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is entirely true. I don't see any reason for F8 to miss a billion internationally. Is BatB going to make that much? Possibly. But nothing guaranteed.

Agree. I don't see F8 past 1.160b (235 dom + 925 os) and can't see BATB below that. BATB had 15.6 OS weekend and 13.7 dom weekend for 1.045b. So current markets including dom will take it to 1.045 + 25 dom + 30 OS-Japan = 1.1b. Japan will take it past 1.160b.

JonathanLB Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 3 hours ago, WrathOfHan said: Yeah, this is going to have some shit legs. I don't see how it drops under 60% this weekend. LOL, no kidding. Also there's really no excuse for it to have a bad fall next weekend, there's literally fuckin' nothing opening. I mean it's the only big new blockbuster in the market, why it would fall even 50% in its second weekend is perplexing to me. I guess these types of movies just have no crossover appeal, the primary audience shows up immediately and then bam, it's done. A downright pathetic Monday, you wouldn't even know anyone was off. I envy these kids today though, I guess maybe it's a public school thing? I didn't go to public school until university, I never got a day off after Easter. Even my private Catholic high school didn't give off a day after Easter. It was expected you celebrate on your own damn time Sunday, then back to school Monday. In retrospect, I guess I got screwed out of a holiday! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hate to break it to u JonathanLB but if Star Wars didnt open during the Christmas holidays it to would fall North of 50% in its second weekend. That's just the way things work. The Christmas holidays are a perfect time to open a film because you have two full weekends of soft drops. But any film that opens at any other time of the year and has a large fan base and does a good amount of preview numbers on Thursday night, is going to drop anywhere from 50% up to 60% in its second weekend. So it's not a pathetic drop it's just the way things work. Look at Rogue One for example. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that abnormal anymore IMO. Especially for big, fan driven franchises like F&F. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it hitting a billion internationally. Many of its massive grosses (including China) are from notoriously front-loaded markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few more markets have to increase to fill that gap. And I think opposite is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. Revenge of the Sith dropped around 50% with a May release, and movie legs in general have gotten lower and lower since then.

I think this is a huge success but decreasing returns in almost all markets will make universal to decrease the budget of next two. Under 450 for both combined would be great but IMO not possible.

Plus Sith's second weekend was Memorial Day weekend, meaning the second Sunday night would act more like a Saturday night on a regular weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, it'll fall short of it because of the time of the year. Not that March isn't lucrative for openers but different rules apply for holds/legs.
