I doubt it comes within 10% of SW7's record. That was a pent up demand 15+ years in the making.

Just look at the Avengers.  Great movie, well received, Marvel didn't mess up in the interim...Ultron did about 10% worse. 

The sequel just isn't the "EVENT" that the initial one was.

X-Men looks to mint $29M-$30M today , while Alice looks to eat up $9M. {nm} Antibody May 27, 12:22

if those numbers hold accurate, Alice will be lucky to get to $100M doemstic. from $116M 3day to $40M 4day... wow {nm} lobogotti May 27, 12:41

O_O who ever said $116M 3-day for Alice?? Estimates were $55-60M. I think you may be thinking of Alice 1 instead of Alice 2. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 12:44

yes, this is quite possibly the worst receievd sequel of all time. I was referring to the first making $116M OW in 3 days, versus this one lobogotti May 27, 12:46

Each sequel get worst. Stars wars 8 and 9 overprice will be greatest hsx crash {nm} mike255 May 27, 13:20

His imagination {nm} warcraft86 May 27, 13:23

Not just. The anticipation of 23 years over 2 (or 1) years turnaround since the last time we saw a Star Wars movie? Won't make as much. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 13:40

"greatest hsx crash" {nm} RogerMore May 27, 14:05

To say that, however, might be hyperbolic. Its price right now is reasonable. The crash would only come if marketing couldn't deliver. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 14:10

Not to mention if "Rogue One" backlash tarnishes the brand name as a whole (which is what I've been saying for years). {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 14:22

I find your lack of faith disturbing. {nm} talbanese May 27, 13:35

+1, it won't have the build-up those other films benefitted from. I said that above on the thread, but I was 3 mins. late. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 13:42

I'm right there with you, 10% drop or more for the opening, and instead of 3.77X mutliplier probably low 3's MattW May 27, 14:26

except STAR7 ended on a cliffhanger and people have been speculating about this that and the other thing...they'll want answers on OW {nm} tealfan May 27, 14:58

or...maybe it's just me =P {nm} tealfan May 27, 14:59

If people feel the questions are worth the answer. Some people already don't. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 15:17

most do {nm} CG63 May 27, 19:02

Stars wars 8 price 598. It's overprice. {nm} mike255 May 27, 15:06

Then short it. {nm} ~JPV~ May 27, 15:14

I notice the price has plateaued, basically flat for the past 4 months. I could see it slowly drop until the 1st trailer, or R1 release MattW May 27, 16:44

+1, in thread above {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 27, 19:28

I was more thinking if Rogue One opens low/high that could influence the price. You're right though R1 could hurt brand in a few diff ways {nm} MattW May 27, 21:43
