No, my "obsession" is they called $60M estimates crazy now, when they themselves were there on Tuesday:)...

The thing is I agree with you. But I'm not talking about that. For the past week you were all "Deadline's so pompous, being sure of themselves when they said 'Dumbo will fly in with 65M.'" It's just a strange thing to get all weirdly obsessed over for a whole week.

Have the Madea movie accumulated $1B between all of them? Think I read that. Truly nuts.

nope, the Madea movies have accumulated a gross of a little less than $600M. What you probably read was that Tyler Perry's movies (all of them) have grossed $1B in total now.

Oh, coke is hard, no question. Hopefully they manage to get clean. 

He's only does it once or twice, but he does a lot of marijuana/lsd. I won't say he's drug-free, but the hardest he's gone is with that.

I've done so many different drugs (a few I'm not proud of), but that's what your 20's are for*

 

*that's me rationalizing past stupidity

US prediction for Sunday is just wrong IMO. Just watch actual will be higher. I'm betting it did 34+

Weird that Dumbo was so frontloaded

Steroids have to be one of the worst drugs. There's a few guys at my gym who are obviously not natty, and they look like they've really fucked up their bodies with that decision.

Alcohol and legal anti-depressants have destroyed more lives than weed and all the hard drugs combined.

The most lethal drugs are the ones which are legal and that make hundreds of billions a year.

Dumbo flopped. No reason for anyone to get angry about it.  It is what it is.  It was a critical and box office fail.

Why were you expecting it not to be front loaded?

High anticipation, previews looked great but mediocre reviews and same for WOM. I'm surprised it did even worse than my 50 million prediction but meh mediocre WOM depresses turnout.

Preview screenings are a lot more common now than they were when Cinderella opened.

[cdsacken]

yep previews are a bad indicator and will only get worse.

[The Futurist]

Poor Dumbo ...

Great film.

[Zakiyyah6]

Psst, Dumbo never looked good and its premise is boring. It is lucky that it opened as big as it did. Those 60-70mil predictions were a fantasy. Also Tim Burton peaked eons ago.

Is Dumbo even gonna make more than 100 million domestic?

Definitely. Probably 115 minimum

Of course it will. Movies like Dumbo don't get below 2.2 multipliers.

THIS. I know someone who's trying to quit anti-depressants after taking them for a while. The withdrawal is insane. I honestly think it's harder than hard drugs. After trying a few times she's back on them. That shit is impossible to quit. Doctors didn't warn her about it. After seeing how she suffers trying to quit these demon pills, I honestly wouldn't recommend them unless really, really necessary

UK CM estimate is low, it will be higher than that. Absolutely killing it here.
