I'd love to see it open to something like the Visit did, like 25 million or something.  

Still share that sentiment?

I'm not seeing how this gets a 3x. 

 

It's a very highly anticipated movie, which means opening weekend should be very large, especially Thursday previews.

 

It's a horror movie, and horror movies rarely get 3x, and that's from much smaller openings.

 

This could buck the trends, but I'm not seeing it yet.  I would love to be proven wrong though!

 

I'm all about a monster opening weekend, but legs will be average horror legs.

 

70/170

This isn't your average horror movie

[K1stpierre]

Right now I'm going with 85/229.5, a bit short of 3X multi but still a very good one. I think this def goes past 200M, I'll bet someone on it.

The hype will only continue to grow:

 

205/700

$75M/$210M

That would be disastrous if it were OD/weekend numbers, it's previews/opening day

Anyone predicting less than 175M:

I'm honesty hoping for the best but keeping expectations moderate. Anything over 150 M would have been unbelieveable to me last year so I'd take it as a huge win.

75/2.4x/180

[Heretic]

Can definitely see a 70+ opening.

 

I hope this doesn't turn out like Scream 4 which is still one of the most disappointing BO runs probably ever. But that's basically impossible.

This is what I'm dreading, another Scream 4

Ah Scream 4's run still confuses/ infuriates me. Domestically anyway. 

 

Luckily for IT there is more actual evidence of buzz (trailer reaction/view records). 

 

But im not going over the top. 

 

I'll say $45m opening, $110m total.

 

I think I'll be pleasantly surprised though, lol.

[Krissykins]

I think it'll be the first time ever that 3 horror films have grossed over $100m domestically in the same year.

Variety is reporting that early tracking shows a $50M+ opening.

$50M opening day is what they meant, I assume

Don't be silly, it's obvious they're talking about $50M for previews.

DHD says $60M

New Line/Warner Bros.’ It came on tracking in a very strong way with predictions that are akin to a summer blockbuster. However, taking into context the fall marketplace and the time of year, analysts are simmering them to on the low end $50M, and on the high end $60M.
