Roblox is still relevant?

The more I hear of RP1 the more hyped I am to see it tonight.

Spoilers dude

 

Come on. You know better than that.

$12.5 million OD? That’s great! Hopefully it improves to like $13 million and then gets like a north of $40 million 3-day debut with north of $50 million 4-day.

How one month looks at the box office really is totally dependant on the movie slate. Last march was insane, this march is horrible. Last April was lackluster and now this years April looks extremely promising with Ready Player One, Rampage, A Quiet Place and that indie movie from Marvel.

The big-budget film is opening everywhere on Thursday in order to get a jump on Easter weekend, and is on course to earn $13 million-plus for the day

2019's March and April both look super solid, so I guess it evens out.

$13m is a good start, but I am interested to see how frontloaded it is after some of the pre-sale breakdowns. This could do high 30's to low 60's for the 4 day with that number depending on how it plays. $13m would give it a 29% preview share vs G.I. Joe's 21%.

Jesus, I hope it breaks out. Didn't even like the movie that much but it'd be nice for something other than Panther to make some money. Shit has been BORING.

[Valonqar]

How precise is that number considering it's early?

It unfortunately always depends who is calculating and which movies they use as a comparison.

 

Espacially with a rare constellation like this weekend.

Thanks for explaining!

I hope those who thought RPO would bomb are eating humble pie. 

 

I think high 50s/low 60s is looking likely

[a2k]

RPO has a 175 prod budget. 2.5x that is 440, something it needs approx to get into respectable territory. Has a great rating in China and a very good release date. Hoping China and Dom combined can bring 225-250.

Its fate is pretty up in the air at this point. It's already acting more frontloaded with previews than G.I. Joe, which had a 4 day multi of 2.39x. Even something like 55-60m for the 4 day would give it $130-145m with G.I. Joe's multi. From that it would need a solid $300m OS to be profitable with that budget. At this point it could still be a bomb, breakeven, or be a big breakout success. Way too soon to tell.

Mid 40s 4 day is just as likely if it's actually pacing for a $9.2m Thur (on Good Thur).  

 

Edit: Nah, looking at it again it should hit at least 50

RPO is a very expensive movie to be satisfied with even a 60m 4-day.

Yeah, with previews of 3.75 would expect 14-15 Thursday ideally. There has been a late change in date though and Friday is off for many so should manage to grow from Thursday.

Something like 14 (3.75 + 10.25) + 16 (+14%/+56%) + 13.5 (-16%) + 9 (-33%) = 52.5 (38.5 3-day) would be solid I believe.

All of this true, but we are talking about a comparison from 5 years ago. It’s the only decent one we have, but the market has definitely changed in terms of those early shows

@75Live oh my God! Ready Player one was awesome. And that seen that you were telling me about, was pretty much orgasmic for \. That might be my favorite sequence of any movie in The Last 5 Years.

 

thank goodness you liked it.  even if you didn't, I knew that part would make you freak the bleep out

 

I was in such euphoria that whole scene and was even like "hey character, you're in trouble, don't go in there"
