YASS. It's like we gained good taste all of a sudden.

You have PotC and the Mummy still in Theatres, Baywatch @ #2 but no WW at all on the list.

 

Your countries taste is questionable.

For all the universe building talk that goes around, WB have nicely made a universe in the Conjuring Universe. It's profitable as hell. Is this the first horror universe (franchise of franchises)? They also have Nun (part of the universe but it's own potential franchise with Nun 1,2,3...who knows) coming next year which irrespective of quality will be profitable again.

 

Disney deserves to steal all the thunder right now, but WB has a lot of smart moves they should get credit for.

What Are Peoples Projections For It?

 

Oh man.....lol....you've missed all the hoopla here after the trailer blew up and set a 24 hour record for on line views.

 

Most people think it has a very real shot at doing 40 million opening weekend.

Then there are those of us who think it can set the September OW record, so about 50 million.

Then there are others who think it can do 70

And some even think it will do 100 OW.

 

Basically....we're all expecting big things from it

[baumer]

Looks like Girl's Trip is on its way to about 120 million.

1931-1951 and Universal had the 1st horror universe...in fact, that I'm pretty sure that was the 1st ever movie universe...

Baywatch opened here two weeks ago. 

 

Wonder Woman did more than GotG2. We got the job done. Can't say the same about other countries since GotG2 beat WW OS

I have a 40-60 wide range for IT, so 50 in the middle. Going a little conservative, 45.

Am differentiating franchise from universe. Eg: SM1,SM2,SM3 were a franchise not a universe like MCU and DCEU.

Texas Chainsaw, SAW, PA, Halloween, F13th etc are all franchises.

 

But Conjuring is a universe with 3 franchises : Conjuring, Annabelle, Nun (2018).

Just seen it is R rated, which is a bit odd for a movie about a bunch of kids.

 

Going to limit its BO potential.

[Zakiyyah6]

The book is R rated. And PG 13 didn't help the Dark Tower one bit. If the material calls for an R rating then a film should be rated that.

I agree, the R rating will limit the poor BO from inside the theatres. But I think it will seriously boost its box office potential.

But Conjuring is a universe with 3 franchise : Conjuring, Annabelle, Nun (potentially).

Again, Universal 1931...

 

Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, etc...all in the same universe...

 

Then, Frankenstein had sequels, also set in the universe - Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, The Ghost of Frankenstein, House of Frankenstein...

 

Dracula had Dracula's Daughter, Son of Dracula, House of Dracula...

 

Invisible Man had Invisible Man Returns...

 

AND we got crossover sequels IN universe like Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man...

I Know This Isn't a great comparison but Deadpool made 132M With an R rating and this is going to probably be huge

[grim22]

Interesting stat I just saw, not sure if accurate. With over 310M WW, Dangal is now the highest grossing sports movie of all time. It beat The Blind Side.

[Zakiyyah6]

The Conjuring movies have R ratings and made more than the PG 13 Insidious movies. Get Out has an R rating and made 175mil. An R rating is not a problem for horror films.

[a2k]

I don't think R-rated will limit it's bo performance, makes the movie seem more earnest. Though from the promos it looks like a PG-13 horror. Surely the movie has R-rated stuff (I am totally clueless about the story/book). I think good R-rated material can counter the bad legs of the horror genre.
