It may not fall as short though in the states. It's got no comp from now till Guardians comes out and sucks up all the oxygen so we'll see. But even if it does come up well short, it's still one hell of a W and yeah worldwide it's insane how well this thing does. Like I said, character first. All the spectacle and ridiculousness aside, people love these characters and will watch them go through anything and everything.
Cmon breh we know The Lost City of Z, The Circle and Sleight will take it's box office dollars :skip: :troll:

Yeah I really don't understand this shyt :russ: if it's not your cup of tea cool. Avatar made all the money in the world but I didn't like it. But I get why it hit a chord with people. Cameron does spectacle better than most and that movie is pure spectacle. Why movies hit with people especially certain movies isn't hard to understand. Just because you don't fukk with it doesn't mean no one else does or that they shouldn't. @steadyrighteous Coli film boardroom strikes again

I haven't been in this or any F&F thread for this same reason.

I don't fukk with 'em like that, but to act like because I don't other people shouldn't is idiotic.

I get why they work, and more power to them.

Nah its on track to make far less than 350 domestically. The comp is definitely lacking for the next two weeks, that's true. I though it would do more than a 100 this past weekend though. So interest in the states has fell off.

Only compared to the 7th. It's still the highest grossing one besides that one. And like an exec said they caught lightning in the bottle for part 7. No one was expecting it ever to do those numbers domestically again. So they assumed the worst

That movie was always going to be the peak.

It made a wiz Khalifa song one of the biggest songs of all time.

But worldwide it's not slowing down.

This will probably do 1.3 billion.

I'm sure it was written by one of our very own Coli Casting Couch & Assoc.
