Seems a bit high to me. I was thinking El Mayimbe's $175. {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 13:28

says box-office analyst Jeff Bock. "My prediction is $180 million." Antibody Mar 21, 14:42

Even Bock's projection seems more realistic than $188M, I can buy $180M. {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 17:08

My crystal ball is in the shop. I can tell you there are some sell outs for Thur, but thats all I know {nm} Moviesnob Mar 21, 13:30

How would anyone know that now? {nm} shadowking Mar 21, 13:34

Hearing from who exactly? {nm} Antibody Mar 21, 13:41

Anti, those sources are protected. Just thought I'd find someone who also got that word. {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 13:45

You could describe it. There's a big difference between, say WB internal vs. random prediction on reddit. {nm} Antibody Mar 21, 13:46

Friends at a firm known for measuring ad buys from major studios and businesses, who probably got it from leaks at Warners. eallensbp Mar 21, 13:51

If they didn't, the traders can eagle eye the usual reliable sources of box office predictions. {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 13:48

Let's just say, WB isn't worried about its opening weekend. {nm} notfabio Mar 21, 13:50

They need to be, for JLEAG's sake. Like Bock said, under $150M means back to the WB drawing board. {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 13:53

As in, presales and tracking make that EXTREMELY unlikely barring another Aurora type incident. {nm} notfabio Mar 21, 13:54

Agreed. But, there's still an overall feeling that this really needs to be a home run for WB, not necessarily STAR7 but AVNG2 OW, perhaps. {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 14:02

I think thats an overly negative outlook. a "home run" is really whatever Warner wants it to be {nm} Moviesnob Mar 21, 14:05

if any movie bombs, that affects its franchise potential. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 21, 14:07

Hey Snob, I believe Warners wants STAR7's OW. They COULD use that, dontcha know. :) {nm} eallensbp Mar 21, 14:08

of course, but I'm saying the internet chatter that the movie HAS TO open at $150 is just that; internet chatter. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 21, 14:19
