the comparison I would rather do is star power...

Posted by: tealfan on Jun 08, 15:15 in response to -JPV-'s post Although adjusted for ticket inflation, Ocean's 11...

Oceans 11 had George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon as the big names.  Ocean's 8 has Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway.

My dream cast would have been: Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, Beyonce, Anne Hathaway.  With Lucy Liu and Constance Wu as the fighting siblings (ala Casey Affleck and Scott Caan).  Laughing  And Gal Gadot as the actress they're trying to rob.

DL: Oceans 8 eyeing $40-42m opening, record for the franchise slipping jimmy Jun 08, 12:16

"Hereditary is overperforming, whipping its earlier week single digit tracking projections for a $13.5M estimated weekend" {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 08, 12:18

underperforming, to us {nm} islndr Jun 08, 12:31

ARTMS $3.5M opening after a $1.25M Friday {nm} Antibody Jun 08, 12:33

Film had low buzz but still cruddy considering JFOST's track record. Trailers didn't make it seem boring. {nm} RollingThunder Jun 08, 12:35

Global Road/Open Road is still a small distributor without the resources of a major. {nm} Antibody Jun 08, 12:52

Unfortunately not as action packed as the trailer suggests from youtube critic reviews. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 08, 12:59

Although adjusted for ticket inflation, Ocean's 11 adjusts to $61.7M, Ocean's 12 to $57.8M and Ocean's 13 to $48.1M. -JPV- Jun 08, 13:11

nobody does this for other franchises {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 08, 13:59

Sure they do. On other forums (like BOT). But clearly it's because I hate women! Not woke yet. {nm} -JPV- Jun 08, 14:04

when Affinity War came out and set records, nobody posted any "Actually, if you adjust the original Avengers for inflation. . . . " {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 08, 14:06

Again, you got me. I hate women. Obviously. Can't get anything by you SJ! {nm} -JPV- Jun 08, 14:08

now go hector Akwafina off of Instagram {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 08, 14:10

In all seriousness, when articles write up it's the best in the series, they often don't take ticket inflation into account. -JPV- Jun 08, 14:08

because that's a pointless comparison. the last line to every single article would always be ". . . Gone With the Wind remains untouchable" {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 08, 14:09

Well, isn't it? {nm} DTravel Jun 08, 17:06

You don't think Incredibles 2 will do better? {nm} Antibody Jun 08, 14:27

Adjusted for ticket inflation, Incredibles adjusts to $103.9M, so yes, Incredibles 2 should do better. {nm} -JPV- Jun 08, 18:52

Now looking, OCEN3 opened on the exact same day 11 years ago, whereas the other two opened in December. {nm} -JPV- Jun 08, 18:54

And in that case, they are relatively close $48M for OCEN3 vs $42M for OCEN4. {nm} -JPV- Jun 08, 18:54

the comparison I would rather do is star power... tealfan Jun 08, 15:15

There's always OCEN5 if this one holds well. {nm} -JPV- Jun 08, 18:55

Oceans 9: they add a token dude to the crew (Neil Patrick Harris) and take down Schmarvey Schmeinstein {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 09, 08:35

It also has the lowest production budget, before adjusting for inflation {nm} CSStrowbridge Jun 09, 09:58
