JB33 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Can't wait for when this goes wide! I imagine I'll be catching a showing on wide opening day, January 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Getting a very healthy 3,200+ theatre wide expansion on the 10th. I've been pretty bullish on this movie's prospects at the box office. I think we could very well see a $40M+ wide opening. Lone Survivor almost did it 6 years ago($37.85M wide opening on January 10, 2014) and that was in roughly 400 less theatres. Factor in some serious Oscar hype and this could be massive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Perfect dad movie. I wish it had gone wide during Christmas, when families are together. Great movie for father and sons to see together. I can't wait. Edited January 5, 2020 by lilmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be massive but more of a $30-35 million massive with around $10k PTA but $40 million can easily happen if it wins Golden Globes Best Picture on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Dunkirk opened with $50M and was Nolan. 1917 won't open with $40M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Quinn Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I could honestly see this getting close to 40M for its OW at this point tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A Lone Survivor-esque run could be in the cards now IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Oscar season is quite a bit shorter this year, I'm not sure what kind of impact that has but theaters might be less compelled to keep contenders going until the end of February if other screens call for it (but it looks like a weak February overall). It could also mean more people pack into theaters early as we approach Oscars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
