$50m seems safe for Dunkirk...not sure what the high share of IMAX means

It means that it is selling a high % of it's tickets in IMAX. Which makes sense, and that will inflate the gross quite a bit since they are sold at a premium.

Can Dunkirk be more front-loaded than War over the weekend. I don't think so. War did 5 previews, 56.2 ow.

Mr. Pink did point out IMAX front-loading.

Okay, let's nip this shit in the bud, okay? @That One Guy, the easy solution would be to thread-ban you for the weekend. Would you prefer that or acting semi-decently?

Its going to be frontload big time of course with Nolans fans AND Harry Styles fans. but still. 40M should be locked. whats the worse case scenario?

Should be about $45M for the weekend at least. Guess we'll have to see how it holds today and tomorrow, it's definitely one of the more senior-skewing blockbuster titles to come along in some time.

I'll try to act in civilized manner.

 

Still, I'm not happy with that Valerian number

Touché.

[Dementeleus]

I'll take the (bold?) (stupid?) stance that I think DUNKIRK will be really frontloaded in terms of previews/weekend. 

[Napoleon]

Great for Valerian considering the little marketing effort and unknown property. Word of mouth is only starting to kick in.

[eXtacy]

Great number for Dunkirk but Nolan has a huge fan base so it might be more frontloaded than expected, not convinced it hits 50m with that.

We warned you. Don't know why you're acting surprised. It was a given this was gonna be a domestic disaster from the moment the trailer landed.

[FantasticBeasts]

I want to friendly remind not to ignore the Harry Styles factor.

He's got a big fan base that will rush to see this. May front load the weekend.

[Ezen Baklattan]

@That One Guy, it's  WAY too early to judge how Valerian will do yet. It's still pretty up in the air how leggy it will be. $20m+ is still possible, if unlikely, but it at least won't spell complete disaster.

I don't know what to say to that, other than you're the only person I've seen who's concocted this bugbear. A visceral experience is not mutually exclusive to telling a story. In fact the two are necessarily linked in war movies.

 

Anyway, I know bugger all about projecting preview numbers to OW, but anything much above 50m would be really great. Hard to think of another director who can sell a film on their name alone the way Nolan can right now.

Serious question: Is Nolan the biggest single-name draw in Hollywood right now? (both actors and directors)

[JohnnyGossamer]

I like it!

 

$50M+ OW DOM for Nolankirk

Valerian and Girls looking like $20M+ OW DOM. Good, good!

I wouldn't be surprised if has stronger than average weekdays, the older audience will likely check it out but not on opening weekend.

[Ethan Hunt]

I need comparisons on Dunkirk. Must know if my club has a chance

[Hatebox]

I'm not expecting too much frontloading. Seeing quite a few people on Facebook and Twitter making Gravity-esque 'you need to catch this in cinemas' type posts.

"Girls under 25 gave Dunkiek a 94% score"

 

Styles' powah i guess
