Deadline has updated with more Rogue One Stats: 2nd highest day of pre-sales for IMAX (Force Awakens #1) notfabio on Nov 29, 14:22
Sold more than advanced tickets in one day than all the sales of Dr. Strange, Suicide Squad, Deadpool {nm} notfabio on Nov 29, 14:23
I don't read that as combined. "For Movietickets, Rogue One‘s first 24 hours outstrips their sales for Suicide Squad, Deadpool and Doctor S {nm} Antibody on Nov 29, 14:26
Interesting the top 2 2016 films CAPA3 and SUPE2 are not top 3 presellers. {nm} Antibody on Nov 29, 14:25
^top 2 openers I mean {nm} Antibody on Nov 29, 14:25
Fans may not have known when presales started - Rogue One made it a huge announcement...that helped day 1 TwoMisfits on Nov 29, 15:35
keep moving the goalposts {nm} slipping jimmy on Nov 29, 15:35
No moving the goalposts - I still don't see data that takes this out of the trackers' weekend estimates - $4M is nowhere near $150M yet... {nm} TwoMisfits on Nov 29, 15:36
90% of Force Awakens first-day presales would be more like $5.8m {nm} slipping jimmy on Nov 29, 15:39
So, when I see presells of $75M or so before OW (or about 25%+ less than Star7), I'll take notice that this could break over $150M TwoMisfits on Nov 29, 15:39
25% less than STAR7 would be $185M. {nm} Antibody on Nov 29, 15:41
Star 7 had more than $100M presales (was around $120M if rumors are right) - thus my 25%+ remark... TwoMisfits on Nov 29, 15:42
it also had an extra month of presales v. Rogue One's 3 weeks {nm} slipping jimmy on Nov 29, 15:46
I know, so thereotically the OW would also be 25% less. {nm} Antibody on Nov 29, 15:46
So $75M vs $120M is about 40% less or about $150M OW - wake me when we see that presale # exceeded...then this will be big... {nm} TwoMisfits on Nov 29, 15:48
And this movie over Xmas actually has real competition for weekend #2 and #3 for families and sci fi... TwoMisfits on Nov 29, 15:56
competition matters even less at Xmas. everyone has time to see whatever they want {nm} slipping jimmy on Nov 29, 16:06
If you quit posting about Rogue One, I'll fo that {nm} JDolphin on Nov 29, 20:11
... I'll do that :) {nm} JDolphin on Nov 29, 20:12
2nd highest ever means it's already ahead of HGAM films that opened >$150M. {nm} Antibody on Nov 29, 16:07
DL: SW16 high 60 / 140-145; COLBT 7.5-8 (wknd)

some think SW16 could tip to 70M today, and if that's the case, it's three-day will get closer to $150M

I think it will...still. Great addition to the franchise.

Some say 70. IMO that 140-145 came from Disney; because he specifically says 7.5-8 didn't come from WB.

THR: Yep. Rivals say Disney is being conservative, and that Rogue One could come in at $150 million or more.
Antibody
Dec 16, 12:16
V: Rivals issued estimates Friday of as high as $160 million.

Omg peeps...may the force be with you. good luck waiting til spring for this one... loved it!

at $29M midnight, there's pretty much no way this doesn't go over $70M for opening day.

I expect it will kill the BO estimates at this point..
{nm}
tatoufan
Dec 16, 13:28
yeah, the only question I have is can hit hit $80M+ for the day. it's not certain, but it stands a pretty good chance.
{nm}
lobogotti
Dec 16, 13:37
That's some good optimism for $80M+...better theater sales today?

This is Star Wars not supers...not to mention, I don't think 63% of SW's audience this weekend will be 18-34...

Didn't I say that the last few weeks - that this will play like a supers movie?:) - Posted by: TwoMisfits on Dec 13

Right way frontloaded and no legs (like normal Xmas ones - it's probably 3.0 or so)...

I guess I should go back to your day 1 presale posts...I'm glad the $200M+ have posted their mea culpas...oh wait, they haven't...
{nm}
TwoMisfits
Dec 16, 14:24
I think I also said $150M 3 weeks ago...and got slammed for it...
{nm}
TwoMisfits
Dec 16, 14:26
I was correcting your math during the day 1 presales. It was already tracking $150M 3 weeks ago, so you're remembering things differently.
{nm}
Antibody
Dec 16, 14:38
Yes and everyone thought tracking was nuts (but me)...or would you like me to post the thread...
{nm}
TwoMisfits
Dec 16, 14:53
Please do, as I don't recall such a reaction.
{nm}

Dec 16, 14:56
And I'm done - note zero people agreeing on the tracking, including Antibody's 185...
TwoMisfits
Dec 16, 14:59
The two people you are argueing with in that thread do not constitue "everyone", and no one there said 200M+ which is the number

Dec 16, 15:02
My 200M OW estimate just got a lot closer... {nm} tatoufan on Dec 01, 14:16

TwoMisfits
Dec 16, 15:06
Yes, tatoufan, the one person that's said that, but please keep raging as if that represents "everyone"
ßionicℳoron®
Dec 16, 15:39
I forgot the 24 hour showings...so no 200+, still nice BO though...
{nm}
tatoufan
Dec 18, 06:51
Quite low? In the end it will rank #2 (or 3) for 2016 OW...it it was not a 'bad year'...

SW16 was already trading over $416 ($155M opening on Nov 21), so you don't know what you're talking about.

I'm starting to feel the love you've given others in the past...so let me leave on that love and wait til Sunday for final real numbers...

If you've got sales at your theater, Antibody, selling 2 to 1 versus yesterday, that would be useful to know...Lobo usually has sales...

I'm merely talking about the Friday total at this point. I think $69M is quite low, but we'll see.
