She doesn’t have a strong foreign accent though where you can clearly tell where she’s from. It’s like a mixture or transatlantic like Alicia Vikander who has gotten more lead roles as well. 

That Tomb Raider movies appears to be atrocious, so she might not be receive those roles anymore.

Should cross 350 375 ww.

What a win this movie trilogy turned out to be for Universal. So profitable.

Angela Bassett is the perfect example. For instance, She turned down the role that won Halle Berry the Oscar. Now glance at where her career is and then glance at where Halle Berry's career is. It is all about longevity. Too many people believe their own hype and then burn out. Halle Berry is one of the biggest examples of that. 

Eh, I'd say the careers for both at the moment are fine for black actresses over 50 (not like there's a ton of roles out there for them). Most of Bassett's high-profile employment this decade has come from Ryan Murphy.

That was 2 years ago, presales are much more popular now...

 

I'd say 150M is the ceiling

I think we see your and others overhype again. 

 

People never learns...

 

 

We should just wait for first forecasts.

Presales have become more prevalent in the past few years so it won’t necessarily open that high, but there’s definitely precedent for it to go that high.

 

I’m thinking a 180M OW right now and you can quote me when I’m wrong

 

(i bumped that because it was wrong.  it went way over 180M OW)

BP will gross ow around 120-130 million. I have a hard time seeing it reach 180 million ow. That’d be insane.

I hope to hell for your expectation's sakes that these are 4-day OW predictions and not 3-day.

(sorry for being petty )

Another interesting record: In three days, the film has already beaten Hidden Figures and I belive is now the highest-grossing film with a female cinematographer.

[grey ghost]

So a C-list character from the public's standpoint made more than Avengers 2 and Civil War OW.

 

 

And made the top 5 OW in history.

 

 

 

[La Binoche]

Halle Berry turned down the Sandra Bullock role in Speed 

[narniadis]

@That One Guy - even a broken clock is right twice a day

 

Edited to add - for what it's worth (or not) I was not even close to 200m in my expectation.... so I was a naysayer as well.

Any chance for BP in this moment to reach 200M?

Would take a ridiculous Sunday hold IF the 194 is correct. Deadpool had Valentines on it's Sunday which big-time inflated it's gross / weekend so do not use it as a comp. However, what we have seen in times past is unusually strong Sundays after huge Saturdays due to spill-over so anything is really possible.

Yep shouldn't this be proof positive that Marvel can build any character up into almost anything they want?

 

And shouldn't it also prove that past is not prologue when it comes to financial predictions.  The past performance of whatever is not indicative of what's possible.  They've created new ceilings now.  That's the new reality we are in.

 

This means that IW predictions are probably low.  AoU and IW are not at all the same thing, or very related when it comes to performance potential.

 

AMW needs to be reevaluated.  And Cap Marvel could open to a 200m weekend for all we know.

 

None of that is crazy now.  It's all realistically possible and then some.

LOL so Once a quarter???  everyone has a film or two they put belief in when no one else saw it or saw the same thing. But that is the fun in outlandish crazy predictions when one works / sticks the landing it's a lot of fun. Shall we begin pulling up all the ones you were wrong about? (Although I doubt anyone is as bad off as @WrathOfHan was for Mother!)

Coogler only signed for one film?......
