Weekend Thread | Wknd #'s A:IW 61.8, LOTP 18.5, BI 16.5, OB 10.1, AQP 6.4, IFP 3.7, R 3.4, T 2.2

[baumer]

If IW finishes with about 350 in China, 650 in NA, then that's a billion right there.  It's already at 800 internationally.  Surely its got enough to hit 2 billion already.

[Maxmoser3]

Not surprised about the preview numbers.

$2b is about the worse case scenario right now.

Canada is basically America but whiter and colder and more French people and more Tim Hortons

 

And much more

 

[Lordmandeep]

I wonder if @Rthanos could clear this up but I have a strong feeling TFA did not beat Avatar in Canada lol

 

 

Avatar Made 96+ million dollars in Canada.

 

 

Makes sense, James Cameron is our boy lol

It will be at $875m OS after this weekend, so yeah.

[Krissykins]

If Life of The Party follows Snatched from previews it’ll get to $21m. 

 

Hope it stays over $20m for Melissa.

Okay.....but what in the world does #BlackMeansVictim have to do with anything? Did you just invent a racist hashtag for these boards?

Trust me, it's not just for these boards. I was clearly being facetious but that kind of attitude is getting more prevalent everywhere. 

 

Anyway, my point is just because a movie with a black female lead has a very low audience score it doesn't automatically mean it's a bunch of racist tools downvoting the movie. I mean, if Star Wars can get such a low audience score, I think Breaking In can, and it doesnt necessarily mean people have an agenda outside "I really didn't like this movie".

 

I just HATE the persecution complex. It's real but not nearly as real as all these senationalists and SJW's make it out to be.

Yeah I'm sure that a lot of people that post their ratings on Rotten Tomatoes went to the Thursday night showing of Breaking In and decided it was bad.  That's exactly what happened.

So it looks like $2b ain't locked any more, maybe TFA can stay #3.

Yep TFA will stay at 3.

Let me catch up here. It was at $771.9M internationally after Wednesday. How much did it make internationally yesterday? I'm just wonder how you get to $875M foreign after this weekend minus China. I suppose I'm underestimating the foreign hold this weekend....

[Lordmandeep]

Another interesting fact about Canadian box office, Avengers 1 beat JW in opening and box office total.

How many people have voted on the audience score? If it's a shit ton, then okay, we're dealing with a bunch of tools.

It’s real. 

 

Ghostbusters had 800 one star reviews on IMDB from American men over 25 on the Tuesday three days before they could’ve seen it. 

 

Look what happened to I Feel Pretty, Black Panther on RT. There was literally a Facebook group to downvote BP with thousands of members. They failed miserably of course. 

 

Come back when Oceans 8 opens.

This Thursday would be around 18M to take the total to 790M. Last Thursday was 32M leading to a 164M weekend (5.125x). Same jump and we'll have 90M this weekend.

218, but only 3 have given actual reviews.

I remember those. The Ghostbusters one was embarrassing for sure. As you said, the BP one failed. My question is, is this what we are dealing with re: BREAKING IN?

and there are thousands of people who downvote comic book movies as well on IMDB. 

 

The difference is that those films also have people who are crazy fans and give the film 10/10 to counteract that issue.

So you refuse to believe that 218 people decided to visit RT and quickly vote?

 

How about we just see where the audience score ends up after all is said and done and end this conversation here before it get a uglier. Yes, I know I'm the one who started it so I'm ending it.

[filmlover]

Serious question: what was the last movie that about a minority (read: anyone who isn't a straight white man) that didn't start out with a low-ish RT score?
