TimmyRiggins Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yeah aren't folks overreacting here? It's going to be frontloaded for obvious reasons, but to the point where it only does like 60 million more after the 150 or so it should do on the 5 day OW?!!!

I think not quite At beginning of year, for hollywood productions I pretty much thought 1.KFP3 2.Warcraft 3.IDR KFP3 unimpressive gross was shocking to me, while warcraft being frontloaded, perhaps more expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyRiggins Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 We'll see, I'm just not surprised to see how quickly some turn. Its 3 day total is going to be better than Furious 7? How is the WOM so far? Furious 7 kinda had a great multiplier considering it did 182 million OW and ended up with 390 +. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you if we look at begning of the year. But looking at 10-days before release, WC predictions from good members here were very high. Still doing great though.

Furious 7 was a completely different kind of movie. It attracted a general audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, it doesn't have anything to do with my absurdly optimistic predictions. Why are you looking at me like that? Making 200m USD is a debacle? lol wtf.

fastclock Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If WC in the US has $30M OW and 2.0 multiplier, that's $60M total. If the club says 4x DOM, China needs to deliver $240M. Still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, considering the movie's treated like a shit in NA, this is still a good result. Anyway, If it gonna be a sequel, it should be in Mandarin, Lol.

Some writers thought it would catch on with the GA. The 20% bump on Thursday lent hope that it was happening. 10 hours ago, TimmyRiggins said: We'll see, I'm just not surprised to see how quickly some turn.

It has good wom but it's not reaching the broader audience like FF7. FF7 had pretty good daily holds after its massive 390 OD inc MN XMA on pace to be down 30-35%, 30m~ WC 35-40%, 130-135m FD PS lower than A2, TJB and ZOO at 6 days out. It will need immediate great WOM to make any kind of BO with competition ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJimbo Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 This furthers my belief that it will be China and Avatar 2 to break the box office record of $1 billion dollars from a single region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
