Arrival is for the pseudo elite.

 

This movie is for The People.

My bet, they'll be closer in Dom B.O. than this and Rogue One.

 

 

Passengers+300m O/U Rogue One would be an interesting bet.

It reminds me of LOST IN SPACE. 

 

Lets just hope there aren't any Gary Oldman spiders running around.

I'm kind of hoping for the opposite right now. But that could just be because I love Gary Oldman.

Show even the simplest of math of how you think Passengers beats Rogue One.

I hope people keep underestimating this.

Lol.  It isn't about underestimating Passengers.  I think it will do very well, but for to people to say it will beat Rogue One is insanity unless you think this is breaking out to $420m+ domestic and Rogue One is a complete disaster.  That is the only scenario where this even comes close to beating Rogue One.

Well, I wouldn't mind if there were an over the top performance in the film. Maybe Michael Sheen goes crazy.

It doesn't need to beat Rogue One, and almost no one here thinks it's going to.

It's pretty funny that that somehow became the benchmark for success here after one or two people suggested it has a shot of happening.

 

Note that the comment I quoted was about this not even coming within 300m of Rogue One, not about beating it.

That, to me, is vastly underestimating this movie's appeal.

The last movie that had a "you die I die" type of line didn't do badly If memory  serves.

Eh that was an okay trailer. Intriguing concept, but it looks kinda uninteresting.

It might beat it in Portugal. That seems like the only place where it will happen lol (and even there I won't bet on it).

Uh...

 

Passengers 300m

Rogue One 280m

 

I mean, that's not my prediction, but anyone can make up numbers to show how passengers beats Rogue One.

That is sort of the point though, because coming within $300m of Rogue One would still be a heck of a gross for Passengers.  

 

Right now, the floor is essentially $450m for Rogue One.  I think the much more realistic number IF it is decently reviewed and they unleash Darth Vader in the trailer when tickets go on sale is around $550m - $625m.  

 

That means Passengers is at $250m - $325m total.  I don't know how that is vastly underestimating the movie's appeal.

That isn't showing the math, that is throwing 2 numbers out.  

 

Basically that would mean people are predicting a $80m opening for Rogue One.  $50m+ less than Suicide Squad or Deadpool opening.  $13m less than Godzilla.  

 

Again, I challenge anyone on here to show me even the simplest of math on the opening for Rogue One that gets it below Passengers unless you think Passengers is breaking out to $450m+ domestic.

I think Arrival looks quite a bit better, but I dug the script for this one, I like the idea of a love story set in space, and I like Jlaw.

Should have been directed by James Cameron, then it would have beaten Rogue One.
