What are people’s box office predictions? The domestic box office should be 300m+ but OS is a mystery. It screams Twisters 2.0 to me OS. Maybe 150m? 550m WW?

I see this doing better in Europe and LATAM than Twisters, Also no competition with Deadpool here.

[keysersoze123]

Definitely not another Twisters. That just bombed everywhere. This will do well in Europe/ANZ and LATAM. Mexico presales are already looking really good. That said I have no clue how much it would gross OS. We have to wait for initial numbers to extrapolate.

Predictably, the UK (Telegraph, Guardian) did not like it. 

What can we expect from the nation that gave the world Piers Morgan, Little Britain and James Corden?

I still have not forgiven them for the Spice Girls.

Beetlejuice 

Beetlejuice 2

The Nightmare Before Christmas 

Home Alone 

Home Alone 2 

 

Catherine O'Hara really is the holiday queen, isn't' she? Between October 1st and January 1st, you are watching C O'Hara movies.

Where Burton Batman 3? Let's pretend the Flash's "ending" for Burton's Batman never happened. Or just do what Deadpool did and say he was a different Batman.

Twisters is a once in decade type performance, cant think of another major blockbuster with a 70% DOM share. 

[emoviefan]

Pretty good so far it seems. Def good enough  to keep the presale momentum going. 100 OW DOM million should be a lock it would seem.

250 OS and 350 dom

That it apparently does practical effects and keeps CGI to a minimum  is another reason why I am rooting for this movie.

I think if we going to brutally honest, people don't care about the Maitlands that much and so their absence isn't that big a deal.

As a child, I didn’t care that their characters were absent from the cartoon either.

Alec Baldwin (justifiably) not being in this is to be missed just cuz he’s an A-grade comedic talent.

I’m wondering if it’s enough interest to get a good total. I’m honestly thinking 700m is possible if OS markets have similar interest to IT (2017)

[James]

With this type of reception and all the buzz (plus little competition) I’m thinking:

 

135/420m DOM

450m OS

870m WW

 

Tbh the other studios literally served September and October to WB on a silver platter. Both this and Joker 2 have weeks of little to no competition.

Close, but even that wasn't so skewed

[Mojoguy]

In the other direction, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tell No Tales made 79% of its money overseas. Crazy.
