MrPink got banned for only 4 days despite violating a thread ban automatically meaning 7 days minimum.  the system is rigged

All ban lengths can be adjusted up/down after the staff talks it over.  We had decided a long time ago that accidental posting when threadbanned can be revised downward.

Fudging IW? Or fudging BP/AWiT

Disney fudging downwards? How is that even possible?

It's just and estimate... its not actuals.  Disney has always been conservative... especially since AOU

Disney is notorious for releasing home video/ digital releases while their more leggy films are still in a lot of theaters.

 

Pretty sure Frozen was still making like $2-3M a week when the home video release landed and came incredibly close to sabotaging its road to $400M

It almost killed BatB's chance of $500 million too. I understand they want to strike while the iron is hot to increase DVD sales, but it's painful for a BO follower to see these films potentially miss big milestones because of this.

Also terrible at predicting toy demand as they barely made any Frozen dolls and like no baby groot merch during GOTG1 release

@That Ambitious Guy maybe MrPink has an inside man covering his back 

 

Btw, @That Ambitious Guy has been banned for making me WASTE MY PRECIOUS TIME by mentioning me in one of his posts. Nobody has time for stupid TOG posts.

You wouldn't get it revised down, if anything it would be extended.

Can IW beat Jurassic World worldwide gross, $1,672B ?

 

 

No. But it's a better movie though. That counts for something, but not box office.

10-15% jump from true friday (68) is 75-78. that would be shocking. folks are already prepared for 70+.

 

75 wouldn't be that big of a shock. TA1 and JW1 both are around $78m adjusted for inflation. I'd love to see $80m today. Now that would shock a lot of people.

Are you serious. This is going to skate by it. 600m domestic and 1.2B OS seem like “safe” totals.

Guy and gal can really be best of friends too. 

 

But they would also be cute together. Tom is such a hyper kid, someone coolheaded like her seems right for him lol.

I feel bad for for them lately. We do deserve a great Justice League movie some time. Great characters. 

 

Yeah, me too...I really wanted this to be great, let's hope they'll rebound. A reboot of the DCEU would be really nice.

Just needs a little less than a CW 21% hike. 

 

With less school being out this week than the first w/ of May (as Deadline told us a month ago when low balling their o/w prediction)  along with many taking finals it's as possible as not.  Also could partially explain why the avg age of the early audience was 58% over 25  vs 55% for AOU and 51% for CW.  Looking at the sell outs and saturation of early morning shows today and it's not that far fetched.

So do the walk ups look like CW, AOU, TA or JW?

 

I mean based on Thursday previews vs true Friday?

I dunno if these numbers make sense but...

 

The relationship between previews and Friday OD:

 

JW = 81.9/18.5 = 4.4

AOU = 84.4/27.6 = 3.0

CW = 75.5/25 = 3.0

IW = 106/39 = 2.7

 

Basically IW is waaay more frontloaded than JW.

 

But slightly more frontloaded than CW and AOU.

Based on this method TFA is the most frontloaded blockbuster of all time or something with its 119/57 ratio.
