There is no doubt in my mind that this a $100m movie. $150m is doable IMO. {nm}

DL: Crazy Rich Asians sold out most of its paid previews at 354 locations. (not hype) Antibody Aug 09, 09:41

For RollingThunder "Much like Black Panther was a defining film for Black America on the big screen... so is Crazy Rich Asians. " {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 09:42

We'll see. I remain skeptical and conservative with my expectations. I imagine most of those locations would have been demo targeted. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 09, 09:45

You've said more than once that people from rural/regional America get overlooked by people in the big coastal cities because they aren't RogerMore Aug 09, 11:44

Interesting, JCHU is related to Rachel Chu from the book. Antibody Aug 09, 10:51

That bodes well. It is also highly re-watchable. Lots of times laughter was so loud you couldn't hear the next lines of dialogue. {nm} CSBD Aug 09, 10:19

wife and I are looking forward to the movie, but we watch a lot of rom-coms and to us it's an Asian "Monster-In-Law" =P {nm} tealfan Aug 09, 10:19

they may as well give this the most popular oscar award now {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 11:24

We still don't know the criteria. $50M by Dec 31? $75M? $100M? Top 100 film by Dec 31? {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 11:56

Top 100 is too wide, make that Top 25, no more than 50. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 12:01

Top 25 would have cut out Blade Runner 2049 & Baby Driver. (Though my guess at 2017 nominees is Wonder Woman, Logan, Dunkirk, It & Get Out) {nm} RogerMore Aug 09, 12:35

best film not for white jewish old men who live in the valley and used to co-produce episodes of Three's Company {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:24

A group likely to have an Asian fetish. {nm} Antibody Aug 09, 12:28

oh snap! {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:30

Link it to P&S spend. {nm} RogerMore Aug 09, 12:32

*P&A {nm} RogerMore Aug 09, 12:35

i've often suggested that to the indie spirits. The issue is no one wants to disclose that {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 12:38

has to be $100+ (by when nominatuions open), otherwise it wasnt popular (2018 so far id say Panther, MI6 and Quiet Place only deservees) {nm} islndr Aug 09, 12:42

Under $20m for 5 days. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 09, 12:36

My guess is $40m at least over the 5-day and very, very strong legs with repeat business. MiyazakiFan Aug 09, 14:16

Last night gave me a "Hidden Figures" vibe in terms of audience. CSBD Aug 09, 12:51

Good. That's awesome news {nm} VictorY Aug 09, 14:57
