Okay how does this make more than TFA on OW if it is 12 million behind on previews already for the weekend? Was TFA more rush factor? 

 

 

TFA did 192 million without previews

TA did around 190 million.

 

The thinking is IW does much more without previews.

As the thread title says, the sale is now live.

Previews for TFA were over 1/5th of the weekend total, Even Ultron which was rather front loaded the 27.7 mil previews were 'only' 1/7th, and BP's were 1/8th. If it splits the difference 45mil turns into 337.5mil.

Lmfao relax yourselves, this isn’t reaching 300M.

[Rumpot]

Never heard 1/10th that much cheering, clapping, laughing, gasping in a movie.

Big numbers in NZ too! Could hit 4M for the 4-day, which would point to a... 338M OW 

 

I am *this* close to bumping my Derby and Summer Game Preseason from 300M to 330M.

I'm not saying I endorse a 300M OW. 

 

Need DepuTele to slap some sense into this boy.

When and what was the early estimate for TLJ?

 

 

I would wait really, big Marvel Openers are notorious for opening over estimated.

DHD has been on a roll lately with their early guesstimates, especially for SH fares.

 

But considering how we get into territory of gigantic numbers like this, margin of error gonna be bigger.

They got BPs 25m right on right?

Except BP.... Or at least the weekend overall was underestimated, I think Disney's estimate was 190mil?

Early TLJ preview estimate was also $45M at around 9 pm pst

Watching on laser imax tomorrow at the Lockheed air and space museum in DC.  Very glad I got those tickets

Yup. They actually pretty much on the money for all major CBMs last year in terms of previews.

 

The more impressive is most of the prediction/projection reports came super early, like when no showing even started on the West Coast yet. 

 

We all thought that was rather uncharacteristic for Deadline to be on a roll like that lol.

[LOGAN'sLuckyRun]

 

[FlashMaster659]

What say you @Rthanos? $45m+?

They first posted at 7:45pm with 22-24, then again at 11:20 with 25

PREVIOUS EXCLUSIVE: Writethru with demos, 11:20pm: We have a read on Thursday night estimates for Disney/Marvel’s Black Panther — and they look fantastic.

Earlier tonight sources were spotting the movie between $22M-$24M, and now the thinking is that the Ryan Coogler-directed movie about Marvel’s Black superhero T’Challa will clear $25M.

Because TFA had a 4.5 internal multi.   TLJ was 4.88

 

For comparison Rogue One did $29m in previews and did $155m for a 5.344x internal and that was the best of the new internal SW multis.  AOU did $27.6m and did $191m (with that fight deflating Sat) with a 6.927 internal. CW's was 7.164 off a $25m.    AIW's internal would have to sink below 5.5 to miss 247m
