The social media embargo thing worked out well for Wonder Woman and IT.  

 

EDIT Napoleon beat me to the punch. Lol

 

My 57mil prediction still stands...for now.

That would be a fantastic OW...more than half of what BR's entire original run adjusts to!!!

Great thing about this movie coming out is the fact that it brings a whole heap of OG Blade Runner screenings along with it. Probably gonna catch one of those this Friday.

 

There's one of those in my state but it's on a Wednesday in a city that's like an hour away from me so I can't go to it

And would also beat the October OW record.

Guys, I think I'm over predicting it but what the hell? No guts no glory, right?

If the movie really is great I could see a Mad Max type run for it. But that damn runtime is gonna hurt it, lots of theatre's hvs to cut down showtimes to 1 or 2 evening shows rather than 3. 

 

Also that budget worries me. But 120+ domestic should be good, and maybe 350WW

 The budget isn’t an issue as it was mostly financed by Alcon. WB has distribution rights to their deal with Alcon and Sony has OS rights as I believe they financed the remainder of the budget in exchange for the OS rights

Like the prediction. Watching the shorts has made me a lot more optimistic

Yeah I don't think WB's going to lose much money on the film, if it does fail, unless I'm mistaken.

Ive seen things you people wouldn't believe...like a 57m opening in October.

Definitely starting to feel this is headed for an opening similar to Gravity and The Martian (critically-acclaimed sci-fi films that opened in early October in recent years), now it just needs the reviews to seal the deal. I'm not worried about the long running time being a detriment, with so many movies making so little that theaters are eager to ditch them they'll probably book this on multiple screens just to meet possible high demand.

Yeah American Made won't be making a ton and Kingsman will be pulling in not huge numbers it's third weekend. I think there is space for them to give it a lot of showings.

That is really on the optimistic side imo, those had 0 resistance (many of the audience will ask themselves do I need to have watched the first Blade Runner or liked it ?) and more marketable high concept (The martian was particularly an easy and short one sentence sell).

 

With also if I am a big fan, do I want the mystery to possibly go away (that something some people say sometime, not sure if there is any truth to it)

 

MadMax 45m seem hard to beat, the reviews cannot be better than MadMax and that did look like something you could easily watch regardless of your relation with the franchise.

Tron: Legacy made over $170M and the original Tron was a flop when it came out three decades before (like the original Blade Runner, no less). Duplicating those numbers doesn't seem like a difficult task.

Blade Runner is far more popular than Mad Max though.

Fury Road had a monster marketing campaign and monster reviews

I am a bit curious that is based on what, the Road Warrior is one of the most influential movie for pop culture ever, the Fallout video game franchise is directly from it (with the dogs, one arm vest and everything) and is one of the biggest video game franchise, a long list of post-apocalyptic product used is aesthetic, the box office was not that different.

Looking at the trailer, it look more like something you do not need to have seen the previous movies, but you are right if Tron can do it.... a Deakins Blade Runner can to I must admit.

Enjoy this movie while you can  because there is no other movie like this in the pipeline in the coming years.
