Ford vs Ferrari | Nov 15 2019 | Fox | James Mangold directing

[JB33]

Looking forward to this! Christian Bale pretty much pulls me into whatever he does.

[Pinacolada]

Gonna be really interesting to see if this can really hit the high 20s/low 30s for its domestic Opening Weekend. I feel like that's probably the target on the high end. That would be pretty good.

FWIW this is selling really well around me for that whole weekend. Doubt it comes anywhere close to Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood but I'd be surprised if it pulled, say, a First Man either. I'm guessing it lands somewhere in the middle of those two for a mid-$20M start.

After seeing it last night, I really hope it breaks out. Plays a little fast and loose with some history, but still a fantastic film.

It was certainly the least attended secret screening I’ve been to. 
 

But no one knew what the film was so it doesn’t really mean anything.

They didn't push it like the unlimited screenings they've done before which was strange

Even Odeon's Screen Unseen seemed very hastily arranged. Usually they give 2-3 weeks notice but on this occasion the screening was announced on Wednesday if I'm not mistaken, and the clues heavily suggested that it would be FvF. The majority of my audience seemed to be reasonably happy when the IFCO classification appeared at the beginning, and they seemed to enjoy it.
I strongly believe this will be a crowdpleaser and those who are interested in seeing it will be satisfied, but I think it's going to need a bigger push to get casual moviegoers through the door on opening weekend.

The awful title here in Europe doesn't help. Le Mans '66 only moves the needle for hardcore fans, whereas just the name Ferrari in your title evokes something.

Am I not allowed to say there is no creativity in this movie ?

 

Weird censorship.

 

I love open minded people.

Sorry dude, looked like you were baiting.

[Neucentro]

Will this make at least half of Hobbs and Shaw domestically? I hope so.

Think because it was the first secret screening open to non-members as well. Which sounds paradoxical, but I do think the idea of these being an exclusive perk gets more people to turn up...

Agreed. Normally they need 2 or 3 screens if not more in most places. 

[JB33]

Is this pretty much a lock to win the weekend?

[JB33]

Looks like James Mangold has a second consecutive gem on his hands after Logan. 128 reviews in, Ford v Ferrari is sitting pretty at 90%.

Then we have some of the other trades predicting around $20M. Seems this is a tough one to nail down. I trust our resident trackers the most, and BOP. They know what they're doing too.

[The Futurist]

Excellent movie, two great movie stars doing their thing.

But, damn for the female market, this movie is REALLY about 

CARS

Lots of cars discusssions and arguments.

It would not surprise me if more women showed up for this than Charlie's Angels.

This movie and Midway are now borderline science fiction, snapshots of a world long gone ...
