@WrathOfHan's Post-Illumination Stress Order is getting in the way of him enjoying Wonder Woman. Don't worry, folks. He'll probably work it out.

[Krissykins]

Wonder Woman has a better multiplier already from opening weekend than BVS did for its entire run! Lol

Who's prediction came first?

 

Wait, let me save you the search.

 

 

(That means 23-24, FYI)

 

 

You're embarassing yourself at this point.

I can't wait to see how he'll react when The Grinch does double Ralph 2 domestic.

So the 2nd weekend drop of CU is similar to Boss Baby and Home.

Lol at whoever this allison person is.  I was very admittedly (with a good and valid reason) was over zealous on Alien: Covenant.  We all get shit wrong.  If we didn't, then we would be billionaires if we could predict perfectly the box office even after you get some initial numbers.

True shit EC

[Zakiyyah6]

I understand being leery of people online who claim to have insider information but I don't understand being leery of EC? I've been a lurker on these boards forever and he seems legit to me.

In my opinion, he's pretending that still have access to Box Office numbers. I really don't believe on him because few things that he says become real. I think he used to have a account on ComScore Box Office Essentials and it must had expired last year because it's unbelievable the amount of fail predictions/estimative. I think it should have been investigated because he seems to be fooling you, but I believe that this is your guy's fault that turned EC into a God, making he feel uncomfortable to say the truth that he has no access to the numbers anymore, so he won't loose the "privileges".

 

EC did an Alien prediction for the OW based on previews numbers. With numbers already out. Any person that follows Box Office and noticed the difference between genre, type of movie, month... Would knew that Alien would not have made what he predicted. I answered him telling him that it would not do $50m because I was sure about that and only quoted him after the official numbers came out because he snubbed/ignored me as he was a God, you quoted me trying to humiliate me, thinking that I would be wrong.

 

I want you to bring that post where I say that GOTG2 would not do $850m WW. I never said this. All that I said is that $550m OS would be a miracle. But I don't see any problem in making wrong predictions, I see problems in lie and fool persons.

 

 

I don't quote Deadline, @alisson23.   Deadline quotes me.

True.

 

Example: you saying Wonder Woman was a mess.

Honestly @WrathOfHanis being so embarrassing right now that I'm ashamed to be put in the same "didn't like Wonder Woman" group as him. I'm thinking about watching it again and changing my mind about the film just so I'm no longer grouped with the embarrassment.

Allison won't even listen. They'll just go on and on and on about shit that's not even relevant, twist your words around and then think they've dropped the mic on you....when in reality all they've done is flopped like a fish.

It is very easy to make mistakes when extrapolating from early numbers.

@EmpireCity what are the odds Homecoming joins WW and GV2 for $350M+ domestic? I'm wondering if all 3 will reach it.
