It had a C I believe. I should also clarify to avoid the holidays because almost everything gets a 3x there  

 

Well, WOWS got a C because the audience polled must have been 60-70 year old Martin Scorsese fans not expecting to see Margot Robbie go full frontal and they certainly weren't expecting Leo and Jonah to be high on queludes for half the film.

It always matters for headlines, except Disney, they don't seem to give a fuck about headlines.

Disney seems very conservative, it’s like they are still butthurt over AOU

148-150m opening? But, but no hype? Presales?

I think before Solo, they were batting 1000.  So for them, they didn't need headlines.  Often times, they'd post some low ball weekend number and it would increase with the actuals on Monday.

Do you mean the bet for I2 hitting 700 million?  Or was it 600?  I think this might be the first consecutive bets I've won in your game in about 2 years lol.

Good opening for JW btw. Idk if anyone in the summer game was predicting 150 or 155, so I wouldn’t mind if it went closer to my 145M prediction

Are you suggesting that presales don’t matter ? This didn’t even come close to movies with strong  presales like TLJ, IW,BP, I2 e.t.c.

 

I guess it beat solo

It's the same Sunday drop as the first one.  And when films open to huge numbers like this, the Sunday drop is typically under 20%.

It was 700 for I2.

 

And then I had an under 300 m bet for JW2.

 

I bet the farm on both.

I don’t think 700 is completely dead for Incredibles yet. Let’s not forget the inevitable Labor Day re-expansion will add an extra 10-15M or so

One person (Mike Hunt) had it at 155.  That's just doing a super quick search.

It seems some people were basing their predictions on the pre sales, when clearly this is a walk-up franchise.

I think presales is a horrible way to judge a film.  Unless they are so out of this world like they were for TFA, you can't really get a true gauge of what a film will do based on presales.  Take me for example, I go to maybe 70-90 films a year, and the only film in my life I have ever pre-bought for was TFA.
