$800M is locked. I'm thinking $850-875M.
That's what happens when Disney decides to cut back their slate to 7 blockbuster films and a documentary.

look, I have CONSISTENTLY made these threads for almost (over?) 10 years, barring a few bans or work/family related instances where I have asked someone to pitch hit. I started this back when no one gave a flying fuck about weekend box office. And for years I would tell peeps to pm me thread titles or whatever if they wanted to participate. It's all good. But no one cared. Ever. So whatever. I kept at it by myself coming up with a new thread title every week w/o fail. Sometimes I would take a comment someone made that I found interesting or funny and use that. Regardless of the shit I would get.
now, if y'all want to take the reins/responsibility of these threads now that it's a hot/popular topic be my guest and good luck. LOL
how about this: I will take a break from making these threads for a month. And y'all can do whatever you like. ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Don't stop man, I adore the silly titles

Did B-G-E pass out the games yet, or are you and the other guy who nailes the OW still too close to call?

I legit feel asleep for a good ~10 mins while watching The Dark Tower at the Alamo ($9 tuesday in NYC). It rarely happens. The food and beer was great though.
EDIT: Thread titles make my day, bud. Don't give up!

I saw a preview screening 3 weeks ago. Audience lost its shit at the end.
I was completely confused lol. I need to see the other 3 as well. Still enjoyed the movie.
Baby Driver is actually days away from passing Ghost in the Shell globally.
Waiting on the final DOM total, $322m vs $350m.
These good late legs are really dragging things out!
There's like a >90% chance that you will win if $336M is the tipping point though. I don't see how we get another $30M out of a $6.1M weekend. It would need a big re-expansion during labor day, along with some Sony fudging (to get it over SM3's total).
Spider-Man Homecoming is now $1M behind Suicide Squad at this same point in its run. Homecoming is still benefiting from late summer weekdays, but Suicide Squad had a great 17% hold next weekend. I expect Homecoming to edge ahead, but it will be close. I'd say $325-330M final for now. $320M+ is pretty much locked.

I highly doubt $350m can happen now. $322m seems way more likely.
Congrats on nailing the prediction.

That seems really high, no? For IT- I was thinking $40M easy with solid legs but over $50M...

IT is gonna be a monster opening weekend.
It's not a good movie. Not on its own and certainly not as connected to the books. I realize it's not a direct adeptation to the gunslinger. That's pretty obvious.

Yep! It was initially Bobby's $309M vs LordofLore's $320M that was dragging things out, and now there's a very small chance (less than 5%, but still a chance) that Harmen's $354M ends up closer than Chamber's $322M.
At this point I'd rather just wait until the domestic run is basically done so I'll just do that even if next week drops the odds of Chamber coming in second done to basically zero. Also, when we do another contest like this, I'll probably specify predictions need to be made to at least the hundred thousandth.

When I think monster opening I think over $70M.
Dunkirk made $14.5M this weekend overseas. Down about 42%. I don't think that there have been any significant opening for a couple weekends now, so we're coasting on holdover business.
Assuming around $70-75M for the rest of Dunkirk's run domestically and overseas in the territories it has already opened with, we'd get a total of $435-440M.
Dunkirk still has openings in Japan, Italy, Greece, and China. It will likely need to grab $60-65M from those 4 to hit $500M.
So $500M is TBD, but very possible. Passing Saving Private Ryan's $481M seems destined to happen.

If It's reviews are at least decent, what kind of numbers are we looking at for OW?

I'm guessing $75-90m. 90 being a HUGE long shot.

aside: it all started as me just wanting to "contribute" to the forum in some meagre way and seeing an empty spot to fill. I can understand and see that Box Office GAF is sooooooo much bigger than just me. I'm glad peeps have a place to chill and chat. I'm sorry about the bad thread title(s). This one in particular was probably too vulgar. I apologize.
i can/will keep making the threads unless (i get banned or die or something, LOL) peeps object. It's all good.
<3 y'all!

People are overestimating IT. I mean it should have no trouble clearing the record for the best opening for a horror movie, but 70 million? I don't see it.
IT has a good shot at opening between $55 to $60 million which should make it pass Paranormal Activity 3 as the best opening for a horror movie. Although in the case of horror movies, they tend to be frontloaded so unless IT is another Conjuring-type event of a film, it won't have good legs but should pass $100 million with this opening.

To be fair to BOGAF, Lego Batman had received extremely good reviews and was coming hot of the heels of Lego Movie which made a shit ton of money. It was also based on one of the most popular DC Super Hero.
IT is being hyped thanks to its huge social media buzz. It remains to be seen if this buzz translates to the box office or not.

Doubt the budget is nowhere near in any territory that no matter what IT cannot be a bomb/flop.
It'll do well. 55M as ceiling is my bet, first weekend.
I mean the person coming in every week to complain about the title never really participate either.
Those titles are great, don't stop what you're doing Xaoss.
