On wednesday, Coco drop 30%, Ferdinand drop 23%, Wonder drop 29%... It's because of the people still in school and work? We could expected better jumps than normal next week to compensate? They lost a lot of screens to Jumanji and Greatest Showman yesterday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The thing is people who are not happy with this film are going to every hill and mountain yelling about it. My Whatsapp group has had 1100 messages Since Sunday with my friends who say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me very curious for when I can actually see it next week. Still think it's hitting 700m but this kind of vitrol is abnormal for my friend and I can only imagine what some other casuals are thinking. (Echo chamber alert this is the first negative wom I have heard in real life.) Totally not what I expected from him. Is he a big fan of the original movies or what? Granted, most of the population loves those movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Seems like it’s gonna be a pretty uninteresting weekend at the BO for me. Well, aside from the back and forth about TLJ. I’m sure I’ll enjoy that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many don't want to see a two and a half hour movie on a worknight Ehhhh there's a lot of people who are off now. We need to see more obviously but I've been saying I never bought the "it's all bots man!" story that's been floating around. There is some negativity surrounding this film.

Johnny Tran Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 4 hours ago, Porthos said: So let me make sure I understand something, and I'm not misunderstanding. Are people actually laughing at a box office run which will clear 600m domestically with ease? Forget all other targets that I think this will personally hit. I just want to make sure I understand that before commenting further. I don't think laughing is the right way to go about it but when you consider TFA made over $900M it would be way more of a drop off than most were expecting and I personally do not think Episode IX is going to see an increase. Then after episode IX.. who knows. Star Wars will always put up impressive numbers but TFA was maybe a once in a lifetime run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda confused with these school / work thing There were drops on Wednesday because Tuesday is a popular day to go to the movies due to discounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's not the final gross that will be disappointing because if it hits 700, that's about a 25% drop from TFA. That's perfectly in line with what A LOT of people were predicting before it came out. But with it opening to a mere 10% less than TFA, having it struggle to reach 700 or just get by it seems like a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Nothing feels right about my predictions in the Derby this weekend. TLJ dropping close to 70%? Hey, it'll more than likely happen! Downsizing over The Greatest Showman? Well, BOP only has 2M between them! Justice League dropping over 80%? Sure! Is just over a 60% drop too low for Wonder? I don't know; Lionsgate refused to release TCs! There could be some disastrous scores this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Disney is going to run Star Wars into the ground... not literally because it will always make money but I an see the next trilogy being a big "yawn" at the box office. I'm not looking forward to those discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OD was 15 under OW was nearly 28 under. Don't get me wrong, this isn't lighting the world on fire*. But even 688 was plausible given recent trends of Cultural Phenomenon ==> Sequel. * At least compared to TFA Edited December 22, 2017 by Porthos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
