1917 | Christmas 2019 limited, Jan 10 2020 wide | Universal | 19th Most Profitable Movie of 2019

[JB33]

Can't wait for when this goes wide! I imagine I'll be catching a showing on wide opening day, January 10.

[JB33]

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!

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.

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.

Dunkirk opened with $50M and was Nolan.

1917 won't open with $40M.

Can't hurt the opening weekend...

 

[Eric Duncan]

I could honestly see this getting close to 40M for its OW at this point tbh

[filmlover]

A Lone Survivor-esque run could be in the cards now IMO.

[The Futurist]

Dads.

This is  your movie.

ASSEMBLE !

I recall someone saying that in the tracking thread...

Well that’s depressing.

Didn't like this film?

[Hatebox]

Doubt I'll watch this, but it's nice that Hollywood remembers WW1 also happened.

WW1 was a lot more complicated than WW2.

 

Much easier to just make "America = good, Nazis = bad" films.

Or the good Americans against the bad Japanese (Pearl Harbor / Midway)

Although it wasn't fully appreciated that Nazi=bad until after the war ended.

this may run like the revenant. 

39m opening to 183m total

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.

Whoa. Didn't realize they are on 2/9 this year.

I'm gonna say this will open closer to 30 million $ next weekend.
