Premium George Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Sorry to ruin the party but this makes it even more frustrating about censorship. They could have 2 local blockbuster and 1 good box office performance. I am hoping for 4b. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Gavin, it was totally unecessary to quit. Potus was just being Potus. He likes to prove his prediction right. Everyone makes terrible predictions. Making a right prediction is like lighting strikes a bottle. I too used to be kinda sensitive about my predictions pointed wrong. But as I grew older, I found it all meaningless. Now if someone tells me my prediction is wrong, I give no sh*t. Predicting box office is not even gambling. It's just a message board. One has no obligation to make sure the call is accurate. He/she can abosultely make whatever predictions he/she wants. It is all right.

It is all right. and i was right... again... this time NZ lost 17% of its shows but will drop less than 10% to the mid 170s. $108m Midweek PS looking to bump 20% for tomorrow as it loses another 10% of shows. the weekend could be F200m S300m S280m, 780m/$113m 2240m/$325m total add in 500m for next midweek and we have 2740m/$397m. Damn it fell short of $400m. Perhaps it can crawl over with rest of the run The Bravest 115mOD. 9.6 rating, shall be interesting to see how they run together Edited August 1, 2019 by POTUS 2020 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UserHN Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Wonder how the producers of The Eight Hundred might feel looking at Ne Zha's BO? I remembered TEH was predicted to be one of the highest grossing local movies of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 And the trade war with China escalated again today with 300 Billion more in tariffs being levied against China. Hollywood execs are very worried that eventually CHina will include US films in their retaliation by cutting the number of US Films allowed to be distributed in China. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll add another 15% to the 10% on the 300B and then start increasing other goods. He wants interest rates at 0% despite full employment and 2.5% year over year GDP growth.
