THE LAST JEDI (and Ferdinand) WEEKEND THREAD | JEDI 220m, FERDINAND 13.3m, COCO 10m (official estimates) | ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS ALLOWED | SALE ON GOLD & PREMIUM ACCOUNTS IN FIRST POST

[CJohn]

 

This is it, this weekend 99% of the movie fans have been waiting for. The next chapter in the cinematic journey of JOHN CENA is here. Enjoy the weekend, have fun with each other but all in a cool and not offensive way or the BAN HAMMER will drop upon those who dare to try and test our patience.

 

That being said, lets have fun yet be careful. 

DO NOT POST SPOILERS. NOT EVEN SPOILERS UNDER SPOILER TAGS. 

 

This weekend, posting a spoiler will result in an immediate Box Office Discussion Forum ban. You will not be given a warning.

 

 

 

This goes for all new releases usually but this is a huge weekend and we will not tolerate any spoilers what so ever.

 

We're looking forward to a great weekend and we realize the over-excitement (or meltdowns) can cause the thread to go off topic. We will be allowing everyone to post freely as long as the off topic discussions don't go overboard. We know posting about Pokémon porn, wondering if MrPink will win the BOFFIE for Funniest Poster again or if Telemachos is actually the maker of the Big Bang are all valid discussions, but please, be careful and don't go all in on the off-topic.

 

Please remember that having a paid account is a donation to keeping this forum around for a long time. There is a John Cena movie every year and we want to be here for each one of them!

 

 

 

Note: We are posting this weekend thread early to make sure everyone reads the guidelines regarding spoilers and also the international release has begun.

 

Keep it neutral, and keep it to a numbers discussion, and you'll be fine. If it becomes something other than that, you risk a temporary ban. So, tread lightly, please.

Is he even getting nominated?

The Official DeeCee Projection is in.

 

USD210m

 

In Australia that's 25% down on day one of TFA.  I don't think the opening weekend internal multiplier will be as frontloaded as for TFA.

 

AUD7.02 x 3.01 (RO multiplier) gives an opening weekend in Australia of AUD21.76m.  Let's say AUD21.5m.

 

AUD21.5m x 9.1(TFA) = USD195.65m

 

AUD21.5 x 10.5(RO) = USD225.75m

 

Let's split the difference and say an opening weekend of USD210m with a margin of error of USD195-225m

Official AA prediction is 214.5M based on NZ numbers.

 

DeeCee put a lot more work into his so let's hope I am right so he looks silly.

you're never gonna find out who wins the star war at this rate such a shame.

[Agafin]

I think the preview will drop considerably from TFA (from TFA 's $57m to $40m or so) while the rest of the weekend will have much better retention (like say $175m to $180m compared to TFA's $191m).
