I like how IT will be seen as a major flop by this forum when it opens with 40-50M. Funny stuff.

I'll be like:

It's budget is in the 30 millions, no it won't be seen as a major flop if it opens under 60mil.

Oh yeah, I saw a few posts saying that Patty Jenkins will be the female director that they nominate if they nominate any. Stop. Wonder Woman is not getting anywhere near the Oscars. Warner Brothers leaked that story for publicity. The Disaster Artist is supposed to be pretty good, and that is most likely where they are going to focus their campaign. The Blade Runner sequel is as niche as the first and has no political subtext like Mad Max: Fury Road from what I have been hearing. I highly doubt that it is an awards play.

A24 is releasing The Disaster Artist in the US and WB OS and I can't imagine it having awards buzz apart from maybe the Golden Globes.

50M?  A lowball if I've ever seen one.

 

My prediction right now is 82/226  

I'm actually about the same as yours (take $7M/$16M away, so... $75M/$210M).

I'll say whatever I want. Skip over it if you don't like it. You saying that you know that Detroit is going to get all these nominations is absurd. You don't know that any more than I know what's going to get nominated and I've never said that I know what's going to get nominated. I have predicted nothing as far as the Oscars are concerned because it's too early.

they sure dont

 

[Zakiyyah6]

Word of advice, predicting Oscars nominations based on what you loved is a sure fire way to be wrong. I loved Arrival but I was leery of it getting a best picture nod until it did. It didn't get the Best actress nod that I predicted and hoped it would.

I honestly have no idea who the hell you are and am not familiar with your screen name or whatever you have posted. The fact that you feel the need to quote me about a general post says way more about you than it does about me. Refrain from quoting me again please.

Anything under 100 ow for IT will be disappointing

 

It has insane buzz and the trailer views show it

Said it before, say it again. Our own expectations is the only thing that will fuck It.

It won't be seen as a flop but plenty will see it as a disappointment which is riduclous. If you took the trailer record out of the equation anything over 30 M OW would be great. I'm still sticking with my 45 M prediction.

30mil would not be great for this film. It's budget is not that low to where I would go that far. 40mil and over would be great. I'm not going to sugarcoat it anything under 40mil will be seen as a disappointment to most and rightfully so. Not a flop or failure but a disappointment.

Maybe great's the wrong word. I meant what before any marketing could have been seen as a realistic opening.

IT has fat chance of opening over 60 let alone 100.

No. No they are not. Others I  like that one would be Deep Blue Sea, Anaconda, Deep Rising, Lake Placid and Eight Legged Freaks. But, yeah, none of those can touch Tremors or Slither. Honestly, Deepest Bluest and Anaconda are cut above those but below Tremors and Slither too.

Yeah, you are right about that. A24 already has The Florida Project being released in October, so that is probably their main focus. That is a shame because I hear that The Disaster Artist is really funny.
