That's WONDR territory (9.4x). Now that had great mullti for a CBM, but not in general. For eg WAR OF APES did 11.24x as a non-CBM and still was a sequel. So I don't see less than 12x for a non-CBM non-sequel like DUNKIRK.

 

Its because of IMAX presales. Gonna skew heavy towards Thursday screenings judging by how packed they were last night. But I guess walkups apparently looked pretty good yesterday

For what it's worth, thinking previews goes a decent bit over 4 as is

Yeah, IMAX could front-load. Still feel that it won't have a worse preview to OW multi than War. I was expecting 13-14x but going lower can see 11-13x but not lower than that.

I think Val ow could do 11-12x the previews. Guess 1.75-2 would be a good number.

You know if Nolan announced he'd quit directing if he got beat by Girl's Trip, the Nolanites would amass their collective life savings to buy an extra 1 million movie tickets.

Not surprised. Sales were great through the end of the night in my area. Even later digital shows that were practically empty at the start of yesterday filled up halfway.

The RT percentage hardly matters when the Metacritic score is so high.

 

It does show it's a bit polarizing.  Many seem to absolutely love it but there's a group that doesn't seem to get it.

 

How does the high metacritic score help Dunkirk?

I don't think anyone really cares if it is beaten by Girls Trip or not as long as both do big numbers.

That would be a War of Apes kind of a number without franchise fan-base. Very very very sweet. I think 3.5+ itself would be good.

Oh **** Nikki. I don't know why but the last weekend report I remember is Thor: the Dark World, she was tearing down its OW

Oh it matters.

 

It matters bigly.

 

All the Hollywood trades' headlines will read "Girls Trip Nolan's Best Movie".

 

He'll never work in that town again, CJohn.

Nolan and Nikki. A match made in heaven: A-list director and A-list analyst. What better weekend for her to return.

So, we should expect like 4M for Dunkirk right?

[titanic2187]

wow, this is so much early to have a weekend thread!! even a $150m supposed opener don't get this kind of privilege!

 

By the way, thank to the extensive marketing campaign of @That One Guy, I'll watch Valerian before Dunkirk......

I wasn't talking about helping it, I was just saying its critical reception is glowing either way.

 

It's only the pleb reviewers that seem to be disliking it.

Whatever the record for most thread traffic ever for an OW under 50m is on this forum, Dunkirk is sure to challenge it.

I really feel that critics are being extremely harsh to this film.  If garbage rehash with not a single ounce of imagination like Jurassic world can be fresh on RT then why not this which has so much imagination...Dock points for leads and story...But common..All these big magazines, newspapers and trades are handing out 1s and 2s irresponsibly. This deserves atleast a 3 star rating.

It doesnt help that Besson dared to release this against Nolan's film. British critics are going to tear this apart. All in all a very disappointing attitude shown by these so called professional critics. I mean films with questionable acting and story telling get 70+% ...Hell 80+% with ease, so why not this? 

What worse is that audience nowadays are sheep..They praise and/or trash a movie depending on reviews without ever seeing it just so that they can be part of the crowd.

Valerian finally appeared on movietickets.com @ #5
