Guess the Opening Weekend $$$ Thread: Rogue One

[E.H. Ruddock]

I don't see how this cracks $200 million (which yes is still A BUTTLOAD OF MONEY but the hype around this isn't even close to TFA hype).

PROVE ME WRONG WARSTARS.

I'm still chucking at

It will probably outperform internationally, and underperform here.*

There is a Chinese guy in it.

We'll make the cutoff 7:00PM eastern tomorrow, since that's when screenings begin on the east coast. I'm not seeing it until Saturday so I won't be involved in any discussions, but I may pop in here just to post about Friday estimates and such.

[EJ]

$172 mill

[Citizen Dick]

$142 million. Will come down to how much the Star Wars brand can offset the confusion around this not being a direct saga sequel.

Plus no Jar Jar loses them at least $50m in domestic gross*






*measured in LV dollars.

[wease]

It's already up to $213 mil.

[wease]

and that's just based on the number of times dime has seen it already.

[stip]

Ill say 177 million

good luck, everybody

[Simple Torture]

Thursday previews brought in $29m, more than any other movie this year and 7th most all time. Not earth shattering.

[Simple Torture]

Most post-Friday projections put this at over $150m. We won't get the full results until Monday night, probably.

[epilogue]

I didn't really have any doubt that it would clear 150. Just wasn't sure by how much. I've already bought my ticket. But it's for Tuesday, so I'm not helping the opening weekend numbers.
