Sorry, but Assassins Creed is one of the few game franchises to truly appeal to the general audience. It has a much higher base of casual players than most games do. It's a widely known brand among GA.

Yes, I'm a bit sad Prince of Persia will kill this - but my club still stands:

While this all true I still don't think it's going to that well. 100M seems likens stretch

100M can quite easily be accomplished.

Even against Rogue One?

Rogue One doesn't have as much GA appeal as Assassin's Creed.

I don't see it but maybe you're right

Star Wars has less appeal to the GA than Assassin's Creed?

 

[DAJK]

Thinking 25/80 for this.

 

Also, not looking forward to this nearly as much as Warcraft at this point.

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.

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.

With a big brand & a known star, it should be good to make $$$.

Which by sheer logical implication means that it has an inherent appeal to a large section of the GA.

....Because a fanbase is part of the "general audience".

[mrqe93]

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.

Assassins Creed can do well. Especially overseas 

[tonytr87]

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. 

[James]

I don't know about DOM, but the trailer reaction OS was great. I expect 350-400m at least from OS.
