DL: SW16 high 60 / 140-145; COLBT 7.5-8 (wknd) Oleg Max Dec 16, 12:09

some think SW16 could tip to 70M today, and if that's the case, it's three-day will get closer to $150M {nm} Oleg Max Dec 16, 12:10

I think it will...still. Great addition to the franchise. {nm} tatoufan Dec 16, 12:51

Some say 70. IMO that 140-145 came from Disney; because he specifically says 7.5-8 didn't come from WB. {nm} Antibody Dec 16, 12:11

THR: Yep. Rivals say Disney is being conservative, and that Rogue One could come in at $150 million or more. Antibody Dec 16, 12:16

V: Rivals issued estimates Friday of as high as $160 million. Antibody Dec 16, 13:39

Omg peeps...may the force be with you. good luck waiting til spring for this one... loved it! {nm} tatoufan Dec 16, 12:47

at $29M midnight, there's pretty much no way this doesn't go over $70M for opening day. {nm} lobogotti Dec 16, 13:07

I expect it will kill the BO estimates at this point.. {nm} tatoufan Dec 16, 13:28

yeah, the only question I have is can hit hit $80M+ for the day. it's not certain, but it stands a pretty good chance. {nm} lobogotti Dec 16, 13:37

That's some good optimism for $80M+...better theater sales today? {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 13:53

BvS did 27.7 / 81.6 {nm} Antibody Dec 16, 13:59

This is Star Wars not supers...not to mention, I don't think 63% of SW's audience this weekend will be 18-34... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:13

Didn't I say that the last few weeks - that this will play like a supers movie?:) - Posted by: TwoMisfits on Dec 13 Antibody Dec 16, 14:16

Right way frontloaded and no legs (like normal Xmas ones - it's probably 3.0 or so)... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:23

I guess I should go back to your day 1 presale posts...I'm glad the $200M+ have posted their mea culpas...oh wait, they haven't... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:24

I think I also said $150M 3 weeks ago...and got slammed for it... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:26

I was correcting your math during the day 1 presales. It was already tracking $150M 3 weeks ago, so you're remembering things differently. {nm} Antibody Dec 16, 14:38

Yes and everyone thought tracking was nuts (but me)...or would you like me to post the thread... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:53

Please do, as I don't recall such a reaction. {nm} ßionicℳoron® Dec 16, 14:56

And I'm done - note zero people agreeing on the tracking, including Antibody's 185... TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:59

The two people you are argueing with in that thread do not constitue "everyone", and no one there said 200M+ which is the number ßionicℳoron® Dec 16, 15:02

My 200M OW estimate just got a lot closer... {nm} tatoufan on Dec 01, 14:16 {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 15:06

Yes, tatoufan, the one person that's said that, but please keep raging as if that represents "everyone" ßionicℳoron® Dec 16, 15:39

I forgot the 24 hour showings...so no 200+, still nice BO though... {nm} tatoufan Dec 18, 06:51

Quite low? In the end it will rank #2 (or 3) for 2016 OW...it it was not a 'bad year'... {nm} tatoufan Dec 18, 06:54

The fanbase is $900M huge. {nm} Antibody on Dec 13, 12:06 {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 15:08

SW16 was already trading over $416 ($155M opening on Nov 21), so you don't know what you're talking about. {nm} Antibody Dec 16, 15:15

I'm starting to feel the love you've given others in the past...so let me leave on that love and wait til Sunday for final real numbers... TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:56

If you've got sales at your theater, Antibody, selling 2 to 1 versus yesterday, that would be useful to know...Lobo usually has sales... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:14

hope this makes enough money so that (spoilers) islander Dec 16, 14:12

selling out non-stop. friends have been going to morning shows, kids around here were out half day. lobogotti Dec 16, 14:25

meant for TwoMisfits {nm} lobogotti Dec 16, 14:26

It is - and the Math (since you asked:)... TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:28

I'm merely talking about the Friday total at this point. I think $69M is quite low, but we'll see. {nm} lobogotti Dec 16, 14:41

And glad to see you back on the boards, too:)... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 16, 14:29
