The Dark Alfred Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It's unrealistic that Wenan grosses more than 50m. It makes even less sense for it to outgross PTA's Black As Night. Having said that BAN should have hit 70m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 In many ways it depends on how much the person doing actuals respects the predictions people make. In my case, I always start with an average of the OW predictions people make. Then I adjust up or down based on the kind of film, the reviews if any it gets, and my own opinion of the film's potential, but I never go too far up or down in OW unless I really think people got it wrong.

Impact Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thing with Black as Night was that some were predicting a 45M OW. Which that seemed way off. If a Scorsese crime drama couldn't do that why would it?Anyway my computer is back! So best actor is next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Rapture making it what did when American Idols only made a quarter of that amount (and both films are very similar in tone) makes Ry's gross there even more insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
