What happens if previews are really high 

Depends on your definition of really high. Considering that this series has so far had preview numbers of 57M, 29M and 45M, the bar is set pretty high for this movie. 15M would be a great preview number but still be half of Rogue One, ROTS did 16.5M midnights as well, so this has been a preview heavy franchise.

Settling in...

 

I don't even care about Star Wars, but this weekend is gonna be too much fun to miss.

[Brainbug]

TFA's Previews were 57M. Solo wont get there on full OD. TFA's OD was 119M. Solo will probably not get there on the 4-Day weekend.

What exactly are these doomsday scenario predictions based on? Early overseas numbers?

Early OS numbers, and presales from one of the major chains. The total presale numbers for Solo are less than the first 24 hour presales for Rogue One at that chain.

OS numbers aren't early, we got OD from different countries. But I don't think we have anything on Dom yet.

Mostly hope.

Early OS numbers.

Presales at theaters in the USA 

presales from a reliable source 

Another reliable source pretty much saying it's heading into JL territory

15M would be more than we'd be expecting, but not 'great' by any means.  I mean, it'd be hard to get a 100M 3-day off of that number.

This feels so much like The Good Dinosaur, a director switch midway through, a promo campaign which was good but nothing memorable, reviews basically saying "It's fine and fun" and the final leg of marketing being overshadowed by marketing for another of the studio's tentpoles. Let's see if the box office turns out the same way.

Then following the Good Dinosaur came Finding Dory.

 

So, SW 9 will be the biggest one yet!

What time do we typically get box office estimate from Down Under?

AMC Lincoln Sq 7:30pm is not close to full, 10:15pm basically empty.

I’m just going to avoid this thread until we actually have numbers lol.

 

I do hope this convinces Disney to stop with these silly spin-off movies though and actually explore the universe more.  

 

They may may start giving the movies more time to breathe as well.

A 6.66 multi on MD - not that hard.   

 

$15m - now that's looking hard.  Right now, I'd say it's looking closer to maybe $12m

Disney created a Christmas tradition of going to see a Star Wars movie during Christmas and pretty much had the holiday to themselves until Avatar sequels arrived... and then just went on and switched that up for no good reason?

 

People embraced that new tradition, don't ruin it!

 

They struck gold and then decided it wasn't meant to be?
