Oh boy. If this is the thread for the weekend where a Mummy film starring Tom Cruise opens, the weekend threads come November are gonna be the apocalpyse for this forum.

You get what I'm saying though, to say 100% means zero possible chance in any simulation it gets below $300m. It may get over but that doesn't mean it's 100% right now. 

 

Of course, but you know I've been on this movie's bandwagon since before the summer:)...

 

If you want a serious response...a little chance it misses, but it's unlikelier by the day:)...

You could say it's the BOT Ragnarok

To be fair, I think this forum cares about a Mummy film with Tom Cruise just as much/relatively little as the general public.

Indeed. In fact, I doubt Cruise will get any of the blame for this. This is all on the filmmakers and Universal.

he reboot — the first title in the studio's new monsters-themed Dark Universe — is projected to gross $11 million or so Friday, including $2.6 million in Thursday previews, for a dismal $30 million to $32 million domestic debut. The Mummy is off to a stronger start internationally.

Wonder Woman, the hit superhero film directed by Patty Jenkins, remains a champ in its second weekend. The Warner Bros. movie is expected to earn $15 million Friday for a $51 million-plus weekend, a drop of less than 50 percent. That's almost unheard of for a superhero film

I'd like this post, too (damn like limit)...that movie is my worst call this year by far so far looking back at my bold 2017 predictions and summer top 15 (worse than my overestimating Lego Batman, since I was at least a little close on that one:)...

[filmlover]

An $11M opening day would be a similar previews to OD ratio as Fantastic Four 2015. We'll see how the rest of the weekend plays out. Doesn't help that the buzz is similarly poor all around.

Hypothetical speaking for November, I can see a lot of unexpected over performances:

Thor, if really good, with more ramped up marketing, and shows off more Hulk and Doctor Strange can have an IM2 like performance domestically but not $150M+/$350M+ some are predicting.

Bad Mom's XMas can explode too, it just needs to look funny.

The Star, although a SPA film, if good and looks good to the GA can surprise. It could be a leggy hit benefit massively for being a Christmas movie. 

JL while it won't reach $450M for numerous reasons, it'll break the November OW and do Catching Fire numbers if it is good.

I think the safest course of action is preemptively banning a certain user. It's the only way to be sure.
