Did @Charlie Jatinder again update his OD projection down to 90m? its CRUMBLING. At this rate it may only gross like 75m like HR is projecting.

$75M Fri (or $52M true Friday) would be a crazy low walk up rate...about only double the presales going into the day...even I doubt it can go that low...although the Atom presale deals were awesome...

My mom never had any problem with going to the movies. It’s my dad who was essentially dragged. He had a good time, but there were things like how he’d insist on the aisle seat in case he needed to go to the bathroom or whatever. And especially as he gets older, he just does not want to go to the theater. I can only name a handful of times that he accompanied me to the movies without my mom also being there.

Man my dad would constantly take me and my siblings to the movies when he came to visit. Always liked that. Saw a lot more movies with him than I did with my mom.

i saw it as an assumptition, and what he expects, rather than a update/info,its midday after all so even if it was a update( and i dont really think that it was) ,we still have a long way to go

 

ps @keysersoze123 his comment  

Assuming TLK will be as pre-sale loaded as Endgame to Infinity War; to Fallen Kingdom, it shall still hit $64mn True Friday. Normally expecting 67mn Approx.

(i didnt take it as an update,more like a guess)

You know I wouldn’t be surprised if DWA was pushed to do these remakes by Universal but on the bright side only a few of them would work in live action (Shrek, The 2D animated films, Dragon series, maybe Shark Tale (you’d be surprised at the nostalgia for this and Chicken Little) but I do want to see a live action Over The Hedge.

This is an issue for eating sting admissions, but I don’t see how it applies to trying to account for ticket price inflation. Movies with more 3D share made more money.

True, though the insinuation is obviously to reflect anticipation and admissions does that mores than dollars.

 

The all-time list of hyped movies goes like this:

 

1) Endgame - level thought previously impossible

2) Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Batman 1989 - massive increase over previous admissions record but within comprehension 

3) Force Awakens, Independence Day, Episode 1 - Big jump; ='once in every 3 or 4 years' sized hype

4) The Dark Knight, Spider-man 2002, Harry Potter 1 and 8, Jurassic Park 1, Infinity War, Sith  - huge, 'once every 2 or 3 years' hype

5) Avengers 2012*** (3D makes this one very misleading relative to others), The Dark Knight Rises, Jurassic World, The Last Jedi, The Lost World, Pirates 2, Transformers 2 - Huge, biggest of year

How is The Avengers misleading? An outsized 3D share? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows  Part 2 came out a year earlier, also in 3D, also in that post-Avatar period when 3D was more prevalent.

FFH and TS4

Would lock up $400m+ for TS4 if accurate. 

[charlie Jatinder]

I think general audience will eat this up. I don't see it falling below 600. The film is visually stunning. Story is tested already. That's it.

That was always locked. its too close for Disney to not push it anyway. I think its late legs will be really good. Should finish ahead of Toy Story 3 I think.

Avengers 2012 opening weekend was $170m flat after the 3D surcharge removed per Hollywood Reporter which was a bit below what TDK, Sith, Spidey 3 inflated to at the time.

I think the realistic look makes certain moments hard to watch for younger kids. One started crying loudly in my theater

They cried during the animated version as well.

lol. I was actually a kid when those were released and I don't think they have much appeal.

 

You literally would have better chances with a Bee Movie remake.

Can we just ban deadline from BOT. They are worse then TMZ (aka with hyperbolic titles and alot of bs non factual numbers) and have very unrelieable track-record and have probably worse knowledge about BO then the lowest layman in BOT. Deadline is just a meme at this point to be quite frank
