Still ahead of the Smurfs right. I noticed Smurfs was second on Maoyan's Live Box Office.

Yes. But 70％ might happen. I really can't believe this...

Fast and Furious movies have always been insanely frontloaded.

 

There's no such thing called "word of mouth", when we're talking about Fast and Furious movies. No matter how good they are, people will always rush to watch them during the first weekend. Many will probably watch it again during weeks. Then they'll drop like a meteorite. These movies usually burn a lot of demand, people rush to watch them as soon as they can, and that's it. While I loved the movie, Fate of the Furious isn't the movie that deserves to be watched 3 times, for example. It's pretty long and full of action. Once the movie ends, you're tired and satisfied. 

 

People should accept that and relax. No FF movie will ever make 350 million domestic again or 1.5 billion worldwide. That was the Avengers of the series. Everything else will keep dropping. They only should worry about the budgets, because Fate of the Furious is not cheap and they don't get all the money from overseas markets ( only 25% in China  and about 40% from the rest ).

Someone here calculated that F6's OS-C gross would probably be closer to $400M with current exchange rates. Gitesh is predicting F8 to reach $900M WW by the end of the weekend, which would be about $420M OS-C at that point (DOM is looking to be around $160M and China $320M by end of weekend). I think it would have to drop like a rock at that point to only reach $475M OS-C by the end of its run. 

 

The massive boost from China in the last 2 years or so, has largely masked the negative effect of the rising USD during the same period. 

 

Devalue the USD! Make Hollywood Great Again!

This needs to happen if we're ever going to see a $2+ billion overseas gross like Avatar's again.

Do you think it will make it to 400m USD if it drops ~70% this weekend?

yeah that should happen even if it falls a bit over 40% for 8m this weekend. That will take it to 468 and 18.3 away from the fish.

After an 8m weekend one can (even conservatively) assume 5 + 2.8 + 1.7 + 1 + 2 (including dollar bump) = 12.5 from remaining weekends combined.

That gives 9.5 (using it's previous weekend to weekday ratio) from remaining weekdays combined.

So 9.5 + 12.5 = 22 more to it's 468 cume for 490 total.

That's with no additional push except the dollar bump.

 

A 9m weekend on the other hand with the same multiples as above will take it close to 495.

Then 500 just cannot be ignored by Disney imo.

 

So hoping it does north of 8m this weekend and comes close to 9m.

No way $400m if that happen. 

 

3 local films(including a IMAX film) will open on next May day weekend(Apr.29-Mar.1). And GOTG2 come on May.5.

 

 $385-395m?

[PPZVGOS]

These are the adjusted for inflation domestic grosses for the FF franchise:

 

1. $199m

2. $168m

3. $76m

4. $176m

5. $227m

6. $250m

7. $363m

 

 

F8 will not only fall below F7 & F6, but also below F5 if inflation is taken into account.

They should go back to their roots of street racing.
