Was it that front loaded and people just didn't expect it to be? Tracking was always $40m then trades started spreading "BR pre sales are better than The Martian, Gravity and War for the planet Apes" thus raising people predictions to $50m plus. Obliviously it was misleading 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketheavenger Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Obviously this opening is disappointing, but calling BR2049 a bomb when we haven't even seen OS numbers nor the actual DOM number is BOT overreacting at its finest. Let's at least wait until Monday before we declare it a bomb. Bomb is a strong word that's being used way too often for my taste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Deadline: Quote One financier remarked tonight that they weren’t impressed by the early European B.O. results for the sequel, and that it’s now up to Asia to save Blade Runner 2049. It doesn't mean much, but isn't promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Kingsman2 had dropped from 17.5 to 15.3 in OD estimates. But this is most surprising after Alien:Covfefe. Barely 10m for true Friday. How will it get to 36 with 14.1 Friday? Needs something like 4 + 10.1 + 13.1 (+30%) + 8.9 (-32%) = 36.0 If Kingsman2 is struggling to do 100m dom after 39m OW (and had better preview to OD ratio), this one looks to settle between Covfefe and Kingsman2 dom. If it has better reception than either of those 2 movies, still see not much more than 90m dom (2.5x with 36.0 ow). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) WB's 100m+ streak comes to an end. But with Lego Bat, Wondr, Dunkirk, Anna2, IT and JL ... they can absorb Ninjago, Arthur, BR and Geo ... especially since their exposure on BR and Geo is not much. Feel bad for those who have exposure, looks like a labor of love. Edited October 7, 2017 by a2knet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochofles Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) If this ends up flopping, so be it. Like someone else mentioned, it would be totally in the spirit of the original, which is a classic of the highest order in spite of the fact that it was anything but a populist hit back in the day. Hopefully, Villeneuve continues making solid films that are vividly memorable and emotionally/intellectually resonant (as opposed to the assembly-line superhero comedy crap that some people have already suggested as something he has to do in order to be validated as a filmmaker).

WB will be fine and BR2049 was only distributing so they won’t take the hit unlike Sony and Alcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ww is a very healthy 3.25x the prod budget.. This is Pacific Rim all over (102 dom + 309 os = 411 ww on a 190 prod budget).
