Guys, really?This is amazing for SLP. It was cut down to a limited release, probably because it wasn't tracking well and now it's looking like WOM is spreading very fast. That would be an amazing hold for its average per theater. Right in line with "Juno".I expect it to hit 100m.

Chris Hemsworth deserves to be a huge star. That guy has charisma

$100M in China is out of the picture. It is being released with The Hobbit in January. It is now being reported to possibly being released together on the same day.

george kirk, Jim`s father. He was great, brought so much emotion into the opening of the movie. I spotted him right away and wondered who he was. So happy he`s big now.

I had no idea it was him, but that was a very well acted role on his part.

Never say never. $150m in UK and $300m in NA was out of picture too a few weeks ago.

It's way too early to make any call on SLP.

I wouldn't say that. It's not looking too good for it. Not bad either. But WOM could really kick in and carry it to a Descendants esque gross.

Yeah, I mean final gross. There's a very wide range it could finish in depending on WOM.

That sounds too low. I just don`t see a reason for under $13 mio.

[#ED]

Who do we believe?

[Olive]

12.8 is official estimate.
