I have no idea how he could get 31M unless he thinks it's a normal Saturday as opposed to right in the heart of the holidays

Because “I predicted good legs and THIS is how it will go because I said so.” Read his latest article. Arrogant SOB is in for a surprise tomorrow morning.

I've got Saturday about 2% ahead of Friday as of 1:30 EST.  I wonder if Saturday will lose ground this evening due to CFB playoffs.

Do you know if that was significantly better walkups or were presales also on par with yesterday? Because if walkups have a better pace today then it would go a bit above projections hopefully.

I don't know where Scott is getting that 31 million number from. I could see it getting 26-27mil but 31 is not happening.

Not sure, but I've got updates every hour, so I'll be able to get a sense of how it's trending within a few hours.

He’s getting it straight from his ass because he predicts it to finish with $620M. Reality will set in soon enough. 

[commendable]

So is this seriously about to have a 70% drop

Well that’d be 53M, so no pessimistically like, 63% at worst. But considering calendar factors and weekday gross it’s really bad.

Scott Mendelson thinks that TROS has a "decent chance" of topping TLJ domestically.

I stopped reading at Scott Mendelson thinks 

[jedijake]

TROS will have very similar legs to TLJ in the long run. That $23-$24 million is absolutely dreadful (again). Concern trolling? Are we going to continue to accuse people of this any more? 

 

With these drops, a 3.0X is unlikely. 2.80-2.90X seems more likely. So between between $505-$515 million domestic. 

 

Could TROS actually make less than BatB'17 domestic?

[JohnnyGossamer]

If so... Pulled pretty impressive acts of self sabotage with Super 8 and Into Darkness earlier in his career.

Star Wars died on June 20, 2014. We just didn't knew it at the time.

I know that s how it felt back in 2015 on BOT.

Ultron was seen as a disaster for the MCU.

[The Futurist]

This trilogy is so freaking weird.

 

It s like the 3 movies have a beef with each other.

This trilogy is like a Three acts play of a divorce.

And it ends on a tragic & sour note.

TROS is not a flop but like TLJ and Solo it will hurt the brand going forward.
