Yeah, I was wrong. This thing is probably going to hit 270M this weekend. That's super impressive.
I'm thinking in the range of 250+. If it just follows JW's gross receipts on Saturday and Sunday, it'll be a shade under that. I know people are saying it's front loaded and, to an extent, it is, but I think the pundits are overestimating that aspect. Just from being at the theater on a Saturday EARLY morning show, I get the feeling that this thing is still going great guns (or blasters if you will). 270M just seems nuts to me and even though I recognize it could happen, there's this little voice in my head that says "Dude, I know it's going crazy, but that's just way out there". I hope that voice is as full of $#!t as I am.
EDIT: What's more interesting to me is what happens next week. Is it POSSIBLE that it could get near 400M in 7 days of release? It would take about a 40% drop of the true F-Su average (say 190M+) over 4 days (M-Th) or an average of about 37.5M per day. JW was WAY less than that, but this just feels bigger and anything above 250M would shrink those numbers.
What I tend to do is think outlandishly and set the bar higher and higher; just hoping for the miraculous. What I think can happen is to cross 400M next Friday (remember Thursday is a holiday for a lot of people). Can it push 500M by the end of next weekend?
I've got my head in the clouds. Where's Lando when you need him?
