Right, that's this weekend's race then.
Didn't someone here watch Inhumans yesterday?
95k in previews seems low if they are expecting 3M in business this weekend for Close Encounters.

So wait, predictions are that Close Encounters is going to beat Inhumans by a mil already?
Back to wondering whether Inhumans will actually cross 1mil total.

Guessing this means its headed for a 50-55m total, enough for 500m to happen assuming Italy and holdover markets don't just collapse
In Paramount is doomed news:
boxoffice.com has Suburbicon at a $45 million total, which is $5 million under the temp figure I've had it at for my "worst year for Paramount in the 2000s" calculations.
In Paramount might not be doomed news:
boxoffice.com raised their mother! total by 33% to $36 million. Which still isn't great.

This is the first I've even heard of "Suburbicon"

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I don't know if I would want to continue that family legacy.
Edit: boxoffice.com upped their IT forecast to $70M. We should finally start seeing some interesting predictions next week though. Like their initial prediction for Ragnarok.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
mother! at $36m seems low though no?

I have contributed my $8 CDN to Marvel's Inhumans - The IMAX Experience.
It's nice to feel like I'm such a big part of a small cause.

It's scripted by the Coens, starring Matt Damon, and Clooney is helming it, not saying that you should have seen the trailer or know the plot or anything but you should have heard it being mentioned.
Unless Paramount overspent on it, $45 million (most of it coming from white people ages 35 and up) is about where it should be.
They might raise it again, Paramount did some weird non-promotion of it for a while so it didn't have a profile.
Then again, It releases the week before.
I think a lot will depend on how it's received in Venice.

Is "Wind River" any good? Like, see it at the theater good?
I was hoping to go to the theater this long weekend and it's the only well reviewed movie playing I haven't seen ("starring Jeremy Renner" doesn't exactly motivate).

If you've seen Sicario and Hell or High Water, it's kind of a combination of the two (and if not then check them out).
It's a pretty harrowing drama that manages to have some levity when it needs it. It's prettu good, I'd recommend it.
And hey, Jeremy Renner's pretty good when some major studio isn't trying to force him down our throats as the next big action star.

Wow, thanks.
Sicario was good and Hell or High Water was excellent, so that's some high praise. Looks like I may see WR this weekend.
(also, Renner is okay but he's not leading man material, as that awful Bourne movie proved)

Wonder how the high expecations of IT will pan out overseas. It seems pretty popular here in the UK. Conjuring universe has done much better internationally, but then films like Insideous and Sinister did 50/50 domestic/international. Not sure what you can really compare IT to ....
Conjuring - $137/$180
Conjuring 2 - $102/$218
Annabelle - $84/$174
Creation - $81/$139*
If IT reaches $175 domestic, maybe $500m WW is possible!

Jeremy Renner and Anna Kendrick are slated to star in a romcom next year called "Who Farted?"

Why did IMAX and Marvel think charging full price for Inhumans was gonna fly lmao.
The Aronofsky movie is already coming out in two weeks? What? Seriously?
Grizzlyjin
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Yeah, hard to believe. And he just finished it too.

So the top Friday film is expected to come in just over $2M, and maybe 2-3 others will break $1M today. There's a chance that Thursday previews for the Last Jedi will top the entire Top 12 this weekend.
People who want to get in on the IT contest still have about 30 hours to do so. I will post the aggregated predictions in the new thread.
It looks like you guys range from $1 to $100M
Not that my guess counts, but I will stick with my method from the Spider-Man contest and say $1 over I am Legend's opening weekend of $77,211,321

Eh, fuck it let's go with $72 million for IT.
That might be a bit high, but it has good buzz and you should never underestimate horror films.
Paramount really need to hope for excellent Venice (and Toronto) word of mouth. I have no idea what they were doing with it, wasn't there some talk of it only receiving trailers with no footage at one point?

And this is why the initial estimate was sub $30 million.

If I get the prediction exactly right do I get more stuff
Isn't the sense of being exactly right enough?
It's based on a script from 1986. I love the Coens, but the track record of stuff they wrote but did not direct coupled with the fact that they've left this on the shelf for 30 years doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

That was only good enough for my Wonder Woman prediction, I want to be rewarded for my clairvoyance

My eyes physically cannot roll back any farther.
Clooney has reworked it, and he's probably the best of the recent batch of actors turned directors. So it has that going for it.
Also Bridge of Spies was based on a Coens' script.
lol, that $45 million prediction might be a best case scenario then.
The realistic range for the film starts at about The Informant!-The Men Who Stare at Goats (i.e. ~$33 million). If it does less than that...
But you know, it's not like Paramount is doing a great job of selling the film. The trailer is fine but takes like a minute before it starts selling the concept of the film the trailer just changes tone completely after that point and gets closer to what I think the film is aiming for. (and the first 10-15 seconds are just bad and shouldn't be in the first trailer)
Doesn't help that the poster is pretty bland.
