Logan Lucky has a huge background banner on IMDB. I don't see it with many films.
The Hitman's Bodyguard didn't pop out at me aside from the trailer using that Whitney Houston song.
yeah, Logan Lucky isn't gonna break $10 this weekend, is it.
Hope that word of mouth helps it out. Otherwise it's destined for Out of Sight/The Limey level success - post-release everyone loves it, but nobody got to see it in theaters, either.
Wolf Warrior 2 is at $755M in China through today. It is now over Avatar's initial domestic run, and will pass Avatar's domestic total (including the special edition) tomorrow.
So Spider-Man should easily pass $320 million. Annabella Creation also seems to be holding pretty strong this week. It has a shot at $100 million after all.Friday Studio Estimates
1) The Hitman's Bodyguard - $8.0M
2) Annabelle Creation - $5.0M (-67%) - $54M total
3) Logan Lucky - $2.8M
4) Dunkirk - $2.0M (-35%) - $161M total
5) The Nut Job 2 - $1.7M (-45%) - $14M total
6) The Emoji Movie - $1.3M (-31%) - $69M total
7) Spider-Man Homecoming - $1.3M (-27%) - $311M total
8) Girls Trip - $1.2M (-41%) - $101M total
9) The Dark Tower - $1.1M (-53%) - $39M total
10) Wind River - $995k - $2M total
Spider-Man Homecoming should pass Suicide Squad launch aligned this weekend. With Labor Day in 2 weeks, and nothing much coming out, I think that it will have little trouble staying ahead now.
I am curious as to how well Baby Driver would do over there, was not even remotely expecting a push to upwards of $200 million.Baby Driver's presales are also surprisingly strong in China given its genre. China could push the film over $200M worldwide.

I don't think Dunkirk can hit $200 million now.
Yeh, $190 million is definitely within reach. Looking at the current WW gross, I think it can easily reach $430 to $450 million without China/Japan although I am not sure how far these two will push it. But $500 million should be within reach unless it completely flops in the rest of the International markets.Dunkirk will be about $7M ahead of Interstellar after 5 weekends, gaining another $1M lead since last Sunday.
Dunkirk should continue to improve its lead in the next 2 weeks, but Interstellar entered the holiday period after that, and will probably have stronger (very) late legs.
I'm thinking $190-195M for Dunkirk. $200M isn't impossible, but it is looking less likely.
Inhumans?If I'm Disney and I'm cool with the cross-marketing, I attach it to the season premiere of something on ABC. Agents of SHIELD makes the most sense with the demo overlap, but I don't know, maybe they just pick a day mid-September and premiere it on Jimmy Kimmel.
Any ideas on when we are getting a full trailer for The Last Jedi?
The film is out in 4 months. It seems like they should start rolling out the marketing campaign soonish.
Did The Force Awakens only have the teaser and a single full trailer? I am so used to the teaser + 2-3 full trailers pattern that I assumed there was more.
Force Friday will carry a news cycle by itself without a trailer.
There'll probably be an instagram thingy
October is likely the first (and last) full theatrical trailer, probably tied in with an ABC show (either highly rated primetime drama or sporting event) that they'll hype days earlier on Good Morning America. And using their previous premieres as an example: They're not expecting the trailer itself to be the draw - they premiere the trailer on TV with properties that don't necessarily overlap (Football, Shondaland)
That's if they're loosely running the TFA schedule.
The Rogue One schedule was different - no Force Friday in September, so an extra trailer dropped in that place.
Initial reveal teaser end of November a year before release, second teaser in April 2015, first/final English trailer in October. There were two international trailers which (iirc) dropped a bit after the English trailer.
Ah. I might be remembering the two teasers. The second one ended with the Han Solo "We're home" bit right?
If I recall correctly, TFA's final trailer coincided with the start of ticket sales. I would expect the same thing here.
Yeah it did.
It was a masterstroke of marketing.
Although, I am skipping all trailers this go round. I plan to go in completely blind.
oh really mofucka

Cereal boxes and Doritos bags will do their best to reveal any characters that you don't know about.

Star Wars ain't spidey.
good luck with your plans
She's a Skywalker thoIf she's a Kenobi you know Bobby won't be able to contain his hype for long.
It will be like Game of Thrones, where Gaffers will spam GIFs in unrelated threads. However, I guess that is still less than he would see in a couple of 2-3 minute trailers.

Welcome to Box Office Mad Libs
You mean Palpatine.
I'm still mad von Sydow had such a small role.Ignoring the main queries about Star Wars 8, what's amazing to me is how many fans already know the names and histories of new characters and creatures.
With Star Wars 7 everyone went in with lofty expectations for Phasma and Poe and Christopher Plummer. Following the discussion after the fact, it's like, oh was that supposed to be somebody? I watch the trailers but there's a level of fan that engages with every scrap of information put out there.

If it's anything like TFA was (and it won't be, but it'll be close) news channels and normally COMPLETELY unrelated sites will just run the fucker.
Like, you'll be visiting CNN for whatever reason and the autoplay window in the lower right will just start running the goddamn thing.
What!I'm not even gonna acknowledge it if I'm right (I will if I'm wrong though!) Partially because I won't have to, and partially because it's not really going to matter in the story proper.
