You know when this comes in at 65.5 we're all now going to be disappointed.

Everyone might need to up their "Solo" predictions after this weekend.   The Branding of Star Wars is unbeatable at this point.   Plus "Solo" puts the Franchise Back in May for the first time since "Sith" and Infinity War would have been out for 3 weeks by then and it has Memorial Day.    I'm not saying it's going to make "Episode" numbers but I think it's going to do good this summer.

The higher it goes, the more chance TLJ OW over JL DOM could actually happen. That would be wild.

Gotta take the highs with the lows.

Isn't this the truth? I heard the $45M+ preview estimate and was really happy, excited even, but that's because I honestly thought oh amazing, ok, so that's probably the floor but I bet it goes higher, like $47-48M anyway. Then I read that it could be $50M+. So when I heard oh wait it was just $45M on the dot after all, I'll be honest that was a low as a fan and box office enthusiast. 

 

Then Friday night, I'm thinking brace myself for $95M or $98M probably at most, but maybe there's some small change of $100M and Rth had said that, so I was thinking ok don't be disappointed if it's $99.1M or something like that. Still stellar. Then $105M almost, which is insane, and it's been all high from there.

Just noticed the Coco Friday jump is pretty underwhelming compare to Moana, Frozen, and Tangled. I guess maybe that was to be expected against a 200+ opener and new animated competition.

[La Binoche]

The Shape of Water didn't quite come together for me :/

 

That seems to be the recurring theme of 2017: pretty good movies that never quite soared.

Everyday friday jump for Coco has been underwhelming so far, i'm not surprised at all

 

Probably will have a better sunday drop than Moana / Frozen / Tangled and recovery next week

I’m so freaking curious about Solo now. This weekend did it.

Especially if it includes characters like Boba Fett and Darth Vader. Still think it moves from that May date.

Watching AOTC on TNT is making me realize how much I need a McGregor Kenobi spin-off ASAP. I’d take it over Solo any day.

Lol I try to avoid spoilers and the mobile version of the forum took me to the spoiler thread.

 

Not amused...

 Called it! Said a few days ago that was going to happen to someone on their phone.

The film is clearly divisive. Whether or not its "controversial" is maybe debatable for the moment, but this is not going to be like TFA's echo chamber audience reception. 

Again, please provide any actual statistical evidence that it is "clearly" divisive.  

 

I have plenty of actual data that it isn't clearly divisive (box office, critics reviews, critics aggregate, ComScore data, Cinemascore grade).  

 

Not going to let this slide from anyone unless you can submit something to back these claims up that isn't anecdotal.  

[Lancelot Gold]

As much as I love Star Wars, I still don't feel like Solo will make over 400. I hope I'm wrong and it turns out to be a great movie.

Me too, a young Yoda one would be killer as well. I'm hoping the new trilogy is about Yoda or even better, The Old Republic times.

[Brainbug]

I want to see that 70M number so bad.

 

I just want it.
