It is rated r and should be pretty gruesome I think 50 mill weekend max.
People keep saying this but outside of Iron Man 3, no solo MCU film has made a billion. Would Sony have liked it to make a billion? Of course but with Homecoming being cheaper and eventually making more than the previous ASM films, i'm sure Sony is happy with that.the MCU was the context. thought that was obvious since its been the biggest story behind this iteration of the film franchise and one i expected to help it finally get it its 1Bil
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?
They're...they're not going to leave...that...in the new film, are they?
You were saying it would be lucky to clear $30 mil a couple weeks ago though, right?
I think you might be lowballing it, is all. I dont' think people are overestimating it. I think WB said they're putting the floor at 50mil? Maybe I read that wrong.
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_/¯
I think that Toy Story 4 will take a domestic tumble from TS3. 3 was a perfect ending.
However, we all know that Toy Story 4 is there to sell toys. The film is a $200M commercial that we will pay for the priviledge of seeing. Toy Story 3 did close to $3B in merch within the first year or so.
Tracking was $50M last I heard. I think some of it is going to depend on the film's reception. If this is a "good" horror film, I think that it will blow up. It also helps that Annabelle Creation will likely be the last film to break $30M opening weekend from now until when IT launches.

BO threads are my main interest on OT right back to when I was lurking. Y'all do what you want with the titles if you've been the force behind them.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.

It's tracking for $50m but we're in here talking about $80m and $200m total.
I can't even remember the last horror movie that even approached $200m.
Everyone already kissed and made up. xaosslug is going to keep making threads. You guys can catch up with the rest of the thread instead of quoting the first page
Wonder Woman's tracking started of like $20-25 million less than it eventually opened at.
That and all the Quaritch mug photoshops as it sunk film after film, climbing its way to the throne.The fun with Avatar's box office run was that it just stayed constant for so long. It was the slow climb to the top of the mountain.
What record did that Nicholas Hoult/Felicity Jones movie break earlier this year again? Worst opening for 3000+ theaters, or biggest 2nd week drop or something?
Curiosity got the better of me, and I went and tracked down spoilers regarding the scene that you guys were talking about from the IT novel.
Why did I do that...
The head-scratching pun thread titles are part of the fun. Keep em coming!
Too bad WW isn't doing a little better worldwide, but Spider-Man is hugely internationally famous.
You're the Vegeta of BOGAF. Accept it.
Fine. Krillin of BO GAF. The height is a better match too.

Now that the rest of the summer is clearer:
Top 10 Domestic Films of Summer 2017 (my best guesses at final grosses)
1) Wonder Woman - $407-412M
2) Guardians of the Galaxy - $389-390M
3) Spider-Man Homecoming - $320-330M
4) Despicable Me 3 - around $260M
5) Dunkirk - $185-195M (maybe $200M if WB does a re-expansion for Labor Day)
6) Pirates 5 - $172M
7) Cars 3 - $150M
8) War for the Planet of the Apes - $145-150M (fading hope that it will pass Cars 3)
9) Transformers 5 - $131-132M
10) Girls Trip - $115-125M
What are the odds WB does re-expand for Labor Day? This is the first I'm hearing it's a possibility
You mean that super pessimistic $65m number WB was throwing out as their "internal" projection? That was pretty clearly BS.
Girls Trip sneaking into that top 10.
Where's Rough Night at again?
Six feet under, probably.
2017 wasn't a great year for Scarlett, no.
I contributed by making the Dark Knight and Titanic ones.That and all the Quaritch mug photoshops as it sunk film after film, climbing its way to the throne.
SMH 2 comes out 2 weeks after Toy Story 4 and 2 weeks before The Lion King. I'm typically of the opinion that big movies can coexist at the box office but Sony really needs to move that date.
I love Rough Night... as a case study.Girls Trip sneaking into that top 10.
Where's Rough Night at again?
I really don't need another MCU movie just 2 months after the climax of 11 years worth. Would rather it be 2020.
I'd never seen that video before
"YOU JUST MADE CONGOOOOOO"
edit: Woody's having an okay year though.
