Seems a bit high to me. I was thinking El Mayimbe's $175. {nm} Mar 21, 13:28
says box-office analyst Jeff Bock. "My prediction is $180 million." Mar 21, 14:42
Even Bock's projection seems more realistic than $188M, I can buy $180M. {nm} Mar 21, 17:08
No one knows anything. {nm} Mar 21, 13:28
My crystal ball is in the shop. I can tell you there are some sell outs for Thur, but thats all I know {nm} Mar 21, 13:30
How would anyone know that now? {nm} Mar 21, 13:34
Hearing from who exactly? {nm} Mar 21, 13:41
Anti, those sources are protected. Just thought I'd find someone who also got that word. {nm} Mar 21, 13:45
You could describe it. There's a big difference between, say WB internal vs. random prediction on reddit. {nm} Mar 21, 13:46
Friends at a firm known for measuring ad buys from major studios and businesses, who probably got it from leaks at Warners. Mar 21, 13:51
If they didn't, the traders can eagle eye the usual reliable sources of box office predictions. {nm} Mar 21, 13:48
Let's just say, WB isn't worried about its opening weekend. Mar 21, 13:50
They need to be, for JLEAG's sake. Like Bock said, under $150M means back to the WB drawing board. {nm} Mar 21, 13:53
As in, presales and tracking make that EXTREMELY unlikely barring another Aurora type incident. {nm} Mar 21, 13:54
I think thats an overly negative outlook. a "home run" is really whatever Warner wants it to be {nm} Mar 21, 14:05
if any movie bombs, that affects its franchise potential. {nm} Mar 21, 14:07
Hey Snob, I believe Warners wants STAR7's OW. They COULD use that, dontcha know. :) {nm} Mar 21, 14:08
of course, but I'm saying the internet chatter that the movie HAS TO open at $150 is just that; internet chatter. {nm} Mar 21, 14:19
