aabattery Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 On the bright side, someone with a huge wallet can spend, like, 500M on Blade Runner 2079 when that releases in 2052. Just to keep the pattern going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I mean... I knew this was never going to explode and struggle to $100M domestic (and asked several times where people were getting these $50M+ proclamations from). But... WOW. Scott Pilgrim can now hold someone's beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) should have pretended Blade Runner was a superhero film, then it would have done well domestically Edited October 7, 2017 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Jamie was saying this could/would happen in the face of most of our over predictions. My 63mil prediction is...yikes. Lol I'm not going to ask what went wrong because I know what went wrong. Alcon are bitting their nails tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 No....there's no way that this would the OW-number unless it was frontloaded like...say....a horror movie not called "It". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser3 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Well people don't bitch about 2017's box office in December. It's the Studios fault, as Paramount is having their weakest year since 2004. But Universal, Lionsgate, WB, and Disney are all doing fine. Blade Runner just had a click with audiences, no branding except Harrison Ford. $100 million stateside but overseas saves it. Happy Death Day could save October maybe but in blockbuster levels. Unless, Madea breaks out like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmnerdjamie Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 We don't have Friday's numbers... but that must mean they're that bad if TOLDJA to jump immediately into the 3-day total like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. It's time everyone stop acting like a 4mil Thursday number is good in this time period. That 4 mil number has only led to 35-36mil openings too many times for us to be impressed or on the fence about it anymore.

somebody85 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Pleasantly surprised with Blade Runners Cinemascore. Thought for sure it would be a B due to the complaints about length. Maybe a B+ at most. Know this probably doesn't mean much but cool that the GA is at least appreciating it. It's been doing pretty solid on Flixster since last night too.

XO21 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Ryan was fantastic why would you even think to change him If BR was doing $60m none would be saying he is a draw Edited October 7, 2017 by XO21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deja23 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Welp. There goes my derby. Not really interested in watching the movie, but figured with everyone being so hyped about it plus higher presales, that it'd at least get past 50m. It worked for It, I was hoping WB would get BR49 there too. Good thing I went down from 63m to 54m, but it's still going to miss that by >10m....

The Presale thing is overstated now or days. My huge over prediction had very little to do with presales for that very reason. You being jumped on was silly.
