Nah...but some of us weren’t going off the deep end projecting based on Pursuit of Happyness. We got laughed out of the building for suggesting it could go under 700 with a TDKR/Ultron kind of drop. 

 

Ayyy people kept talking about December legs like TFA was a normal thing and not the only 175M+ opening ever outside of May/June. Uncharted waters with these monster Dec openings

Disney will move Episode 9 from Christmas because of Jumanji : Back to the City Too.

You read it first here.

It's Jumanji: Welcome to Zathura.

Jumanji: Tom Hardy's In This One And Wait Til You Hear His Accent

Did anyone else like Last Flag Flying? I really enjoyed it. Great acting and made me laugh a lot in spite of the sad situation. Maybe my biggest surprise of the year. I really like that movie. Just finished it today.

Do Bane Hardy and Eames Hardy swap bodies?

Are the estimate threads always as entertaining as the past 10 or so pages have been?

[MovieMan89]

I really don't know what to expect for Sat increases. Except I think Jumanji will continue to outshine everything.

who wins Saturday? Probably be a tie

Don't know if J can close the gap yet, but I think by Monday it will win. 

[La Binoche]

Slaymanji will win over Bored Wars.

Someone brought it up earlier, but if not Americans, worldwide, especially in Asian countries, a lot of people are just not interested.

 

Maybe they saw TFA, but a lot of "new to Star Wars" folks didn't like it and are not returning this time around.

 

Can't say I blame them. TFA was overrated and a lousy remake of ANH.

 

Someone else also posted, I think in the Chinese forum, that SW is just really an American or English-speaking thing. Outside of those countries, it is a harder sell.

But everyone knows the second SW movie in a trilogy always has the best legs of the three.

 

Get real, Chewy.

By win do you mean beat it's OW eventually?

 

Sure, Jumanji will "win".

Wait, does someone here seriously think Shape of Water is bestiality?  I really hope they don't enjoy any kind of cross-species romances involving fantasy creatures (like elves or mermaids) or aliens, cuz this is pretty much in that same category.
