Lmao if it had Balboa holds, 600 would be in danger. Disney might secretly kill Johnson and replace him with a clone in that case. 

Now you’re just being dramatic lol

[a2k]

wait what?! a 23.3 ow shitty movie had better legs than a 220 ow that burnt, 23.3*1.93=45 on thu previews alone? surely tlj is worse received than eragon. <sarcastic clap>

Seems impossible, but then again so is Jonathan’s comparison with Pursuit of Happyness. Would end up at $1.1 billion domestic if it followed that film’s run. 

I think 550-560m is a very likely total by NYD based on its number today. That said, I expect the way it gets there to differ much more from Eragon's pattern. For example, Mon should be its highest day next week, not Tue, Wed, and Thu.

I think the only reason legs are not up to par is the obvious reason. 

Racist, sexist fan-babies, obviously!

 

The daily numbers told the tale (plus the alarmingly low merchandising/toy sales). Some rightfully said "Possibly but let's wait and see..." and others simply refused to acknowledge the signs at all.

Lmao as if the alt right is the cause of this. Please sit down. 

Lmao, who said they were the cause?

 

But they will feel validated and empowered by TLJ underwhelming at the box office.

 

They're probably buying tiki torches at home depot right now.

My biggest kink is a bit weird hehe.. I've lost 2 gf to it lol. After I'm comfortable with a new gf I tell them that my kink is blue body paint, like all over. Then I teach them a couple lines in na'vi to speak when I'm slamming them.

 

Glorious. Epic. The best post in this forum's history and nothing will ever top it.

Rocky Balboa is the other movie from '06 with a similar Friday jump as TLJ. With Balboa-ish holds:

Sat: 26m (+5%)

Sun: 10m (-61%)

Mon: 24m (+140%)

Tue: 22m (-8%)

Wed: 16m (-27%)

Thu: 14.5 (-9%)

Fri: 19m (+31%)

Sat: 21m (+10%)

Sun: 12m (-43%)

Mon: 16m (+33%)

Total: 502m

Ummm, that would put #1 for the year in play...and I'll admit, I said that was impossible after OW even with the GA feedback...

 

I'm gonna stick with "that's impossible"...for now...

Just heard an ad for Downsizing on the radio. I have no clue why I only hear Paramount ads for movies down here

If that happens, I'm starting the IW over TLJ DOM club.

Its never that simplistic.

 

When the director takes everything set up by JJ in SW7 and throw out the window to seem edgy and cool and says fuck off to fans.

 

What you thin would happen? 

The truth is the fan or alt right backlash isn't the main problem.

 

The problem is, for most people, the movie is kind of slow with unrelatable fanservice here and there.

 

Honestly the general audience would love watching Darth Luke Skywalker and Gay Jedi Jar Jar fight with Rey being shipped with the black guy if the movie is highly entertaining.

 

They don't care what fanboys or the alt right wants.

The fact that some people will give a movie credit based on the fanservice in it being strong is a scary thought to me.

Wut?

 

As a fan I give TLJ a 9 for fanservice and a 7 for the rest of the film.

 

So a solid 8.

 

I feel the same about Civil War.

 

How is that "scary"? Lol.

[Krissykins]

The last Pitch Perfect movie opened to $69m.

 

This one is opening under $30m. That’s dire. 

 

What a crap Christmas period box office, except Jumanji. Who’d have thought

I knew right when I saw that audience score that 9 is going to played as safe as ever.

How would this put #1 for the year in play? If it's at $502M by January 1st, it needs only $2 million more to become #1 of the year (after a $16M Monday according to the above projection). Sure, anything is possible, and I'm always wanting to stay open minded, but this is as close as you get to not being possible. The Last Jedi would really have to fall off a cliff next week.

 

Peace,

Everybody must be watching Bright, that explains depressed box office

Rogue one clearly shows how to balance making a good film with fan service.

 

In the end making a Star Wars movie is about making something Star War fans will like. 

[La Binoche]

Should I go see Jumanji?
