I doubt that matters. Once people get invested in a series, they will watch it regardless (eg Twilight), and the first movie was strong enough to keep the interest high.

WWZ looking at a 65M opening weekend...not bad since typically only one non-franchise movie a year opens over 50M

Just needs to have longevity now

B+ Cinemascore gives hope

I think Friday numbers are a hard way to gauge how the weekend will turn out based on the fact that there is a strong family movie in the running for number 1. Saturday/Sunday will turn out a lot more family moviegoers than singles, so I expect the numbers to taper off a bit for WWZ, and increase a bit for MU

Also, Man of Steel taking such a big drop on their friday numbers is something I didnt expect when I spoke of WWZ's demise.

Right, I get that, but I was expecting Monsters to take a bigger chunk of the WWZ audience than the friday numbers indicated, and I think we will see that more so on Saturday and Sunday

WWZ ended up at 66M so Friday numbers were a good predictor this time

Should do 150M as should Heat and Pacific Rim so 850M from our top 4 movies

I'm putting our overall over/under at 1.27B

Any other teams think they will go over that?

akson + Donkx4 look in pretty good shape even after MoS did poorly this weekend vs. WWZ. Should have around 800-850M with The Lone Ranger, Sin City 2 and Riddick to come. On your estimates you'd have a 130M edge with Jack Ryan, RIPD, The Delivery Men and Jobs. Probably come down to whether TLR sucks.

zomg/domer2 are still in it although I thought the Anchorman 2 trailer was a little underwhelming :/ TimeLady/filthy are the dark horses. Elysium looks awesome. Frozen looks promising (Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph made 200M~). Ender's Game and The Mortal Instruments are massive wildcards.

We know it was delayed. We can pick anytime? Subject to the film picked not opening for at least four weeks right?

I did not know that.

I guess we'll take The World's End. Maybe this will be a breakout hit by the director of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim v. the World, all of which I enjoyed but none of which did more than $31.5 million.

Estimating closer to 900 than 850 from our top 4 movies as wwz gonna do 180-190 and heat 150-160 so up to 350 total instead of 300...just need pacific rim to not flop
