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. Still has a good chance at $500m. Drive-in double features with Guardians of the Galaxy will help, plus the dollar theater run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Although I'm leaning towards these legs for FF8 more or less it's a little early to give nearly the same certainty level to it as we can give to batb's final gross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Heatnix Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was reading the China forum, and it seems FF8 might drop between 70/72% this weekend. Hopefully this movie isn't a new BVS around the world...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super saturating screens (30k out of 44k) has that kind of affect. Edited April 19, 2017 by TalismanRing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
