That One Girl Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Insidious: The Last Key Prediction: $12M OW/$26M DOM Actual: $29M OW/$58M-$70M DOM Result: I fucked up This was a last minute adjustment as I got closer to release and downgraded my prediction from what it originally was. I thought the marketing was weak (as in, there was barely any marketing) and that the film would fall far under the previous Insidious films. Instead, it went above pretty much everyone's expectations and got to nearly a $30M OW and grossed more than the previous installment on its OW. It's also on the upper end of other first weekend of January horror installments, being the biggest OW since The Devil Inside. Lin Shaye's drawing power at work here, clearly.

Because it's fun and interesting to compare and contrast preconceptions and postconceptions of box office grosses. I would have done the same, but Han and TOG are better at it (I'm clueless on OW/legs), and I already am doing a list of my own with the "Wins & Fails" thing.

That One Girl Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 The Commuter Prediction: $19M OW/$51M DOM Actual: $13.7M OW/$32.88M-$42.47M DOM Result: It could've been worse I originally had this being much higher, so at least I downgraded my prediction a bit so that it wouldn't be completely embarrassing. Still, barring The Post, it ended up being the highest grossing new opener for this weekend. Who could've seen that coming? Paddington 2 Prediction: $22M OW/$100M DOM Actual: $10.9M OW/$38.15M-$65.4M DOM (depending on how strong legs are) Result: Go fuck yourself America Trash. Proud Mary Prediction: $15M OW/$38M DOM Actual: $9.925M OW/$21.835M-$29.775M DOM Result: Not fantastic, but I was lower than most initial predictions I remember seeing a lot of predictions for this film having it breaking out significantly, and I was super confused. I thought the film wouldn't make nearly as much as some said. I figured it could do decent business on OW and have okay legs and finish with a fine total given that it likely had a small budget. I was right that people were overpredicting it, but I didn't go low enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 12 Strong Prediction: $10M OW/$31M DOM Actual: $15.8M OW/$39.5M-$55.3M DOM Result: It could've been worse I thought this would go a bit lower than where it ended up being. Clearly I underestimated the audience that would come out for these "MURICAAAA FUCK YEAH" war movies. Den of Thieves Prediction: $7M OW/$18M DOM Actual: $15.2M OW/$33.44M-$47.12M DOM Result: Approximately zero people saw it even coming close to a $15M OW. Forever My Girl Prediction: $2M OW/$4.5M DOM Actual: $4.2M OW/$10.5M-$21M DOM Result: lol whoops who cares 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Maze Runner: The Death Cure Prediction: $28M OW/$76M DOM Actual: $24M OW/$57.6M-$75.6M DOM Result: Not too bad Depending on how legs are, this isn't that bad of a prediction all things considered. I may have overshot it, but I at least didn't predict it to have a huge drop off like some people probably thought. I highly, highly doubt it gets to the high end on the domestic gross (that's the multi that the first Maze Runner got), but if it somehow does, then that'd be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Winchester Prediction: $9M OW/$23M DOM Actual: $9.3M OW/$19.53M-$26.04M DOM Result: Pretty damn spot on I nailed the OW prediction, so at this point it's just a matter on how good the legs for this are. It needs a 2.47x multi to achieve my domestic total, and considering grosses are deflated this weekend and it has a B- CinemaScore (indicating WOM isn't awful), then that's a completely doable goal.

That One Girl Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Fifty Shades Freed Prediction: $35M OW/$83M DOM Actual: $38.5M OW/$77M-$96.25M DOM Result: Depends on how legs are The OW prediction was only off by about $3M or so, so I was pretty close on that. The domestic total's accuracy will depend on legs. It needs a 2.15x or so to achieve my prediction, which it could do given that it's likely to be more frontloaded Peter Rabbit Prediction: $24M OW/$78M DOM Actual: $25M OW/$72.5M-$102.5M DOM Result: Spot on OW, total will depend on legs I'm very proud of my OW prediction, since it only came in $1M ahead of it, but I think legs on this might be stronger than I initially thought. If it gets a 3.12x, then it'll hit my prediction right on the mark, but there's definitely a strong possibility that it goes above that. The 15:17 to Paris Prediction: $23M OW/$74M DOM Actual: $12.5M OW/$27.5M-$37.5M DOM Result: lmao nope 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJimbo Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) ONE DUDE! 80m opening weekend is misguided! How can an original film make that much... even Avatar didn't make that much. Off the top of my head only Inside Out and Secret Pets made more than a $80m opening weekend for an original film *NOTE* RP1 is as original as the first Shrek... it may be based on a book... but it was a book no one read However you may have got lucky on the total of over $200m.. i believe Edited March 31, 2018 by IronJimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
