DAJK Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thinking 25/80 for this. Also, not looking forward to this nearly as much as Warcraft at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars has a massive fanbase, if not the biggest fanbase ever. However, in terms of General Audiences (people who don't give a fuck and just wanna watch a movie), yeah, Assassin's Creed has more appeal than Star Wars.

Arlborn Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Lots of hot takes going on over here. My own? It does OK business, something similar to Prince of Persia, a little bit higher, close to 400m WW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones in bold are at least comparable to what can be expected of Rogue One. There are other 100M movies every single December. Most of the time multiple others. 2015: Star Wars: 900M Daddy's Home: 150M 2009: Avatar: 750M Chipmunks: 220M Sherlock: 209M Its Complicated: 113M 2003: (adjusted) LotR: 528M Cheaper by the Dozen: 192M Somethings Gotta Give: 174M The Last Samurai: 156M Cold Mountain: 126M 2002: (adjusted) LotR: 492M Chicago: 243M Catch Me If You Can: 235M Maid in Manhattan: 136M Two Weeks Notice: 134M Gangs of New York: 112M 2001: (adjusted) LotR: 467M Ocean's 11: 275M A Beautiful Mind: 252M Black Hawk Down: 160M Vanilla Sky: 151M Jimmy Neutron: 121M 1997: (adjusted) Titanic: 1,101M As Good as it Gets: 272M Tomorrow Never Dies: 231M Scream 2: 188M Mouse Hunt: 114M With a big brand & a known star, it should be good to make $$$. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrqe93 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Controversial, but I am skeptical about Rogue One's appeal to GA. The audience has to understand the movie's timeline, the significance of Death Star, etc. Even if they understand them, they have to see something compelling about the movie, especially since it is not a sequel continuing TFA's story. When I was in middle school and high school, not many people watched the prequels. In fact, I could count with my fingers how many people watched Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. Even through my uni years, not many didn't watch the prequels. But these people who didn't watch prequels somehow watched TFA in theater. I hope these people once again show up at theaters to watch Rogue One. I wouldn't call Assassin's Creed has better appeal to GA though. I've seen Assassin's Creed being mentioned as equally much as Rogue One on FB and Twitter in my social circle. But they seem to have better understanding of AC's premise while Rogue One trailer seems to have generated some confusion. ("Where is the cast from TFA?" "The main character looks like Katniss"). But in the end, Rogue One carries Star Wars brand, and that alone is a huge appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytr87 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I actually think this will surprise. It's a blockbuster with an interesting premise in December at the tail end of a year over saturated with sequels. Over 160m domestic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I don't know about DOM, but the trailer reaction OS was great. I expect 350-400m at least from OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
