His next movie is going to have a negative rotten Tomatoes score.
Can always count on Deadline for the cringe-inducing headline.
Also insanely optimistic predictions:
I finally saw BB1 a couple years ago, since it felt like a hole in my old action movie canon. Yeah, it wasn't good at all.
It's not that nuts, gonna be a stretch.
Same folks here for a while were all saying the movie was locked to not pass 1bil even and look how it turned out.

I don't think it's feasible at this point in its run to make another $200m worldwide.
oh my so true.
imagine being payed a 20 million dollars for doing a mediocre movie
I would do it.
also RDJ: fuck the Oscars and my dying career lol.
Domestic prediction is realistic (just above 500 million) but I really would be shocked if international goes much over 550M. International lategame legs tend to be weak.
Well I feel like an idiot now for not seeing Bad Boys last night when I had the chance
It hasn't even been a month and we already have a successor to Cats

Reminder, Universal had more confident in Cats for the Christmas Timeslot than they did with Dolittle.
They thought they'd have a better chance in turning in a profit with Cats.

And thus, Skywalker is now behind Rogue One domestic.
Last Jedi made about $40m after this point. Rogue One about $50m. But Skywalker is falling behind in dailies faster. Question is just how far below Rogue One will it land, but it is assured to have a better multiplier than Last Jedi, so at least the Skywalker fans can have that.

I hope Bad Boys getting Certified Fresh on RT isn't the craziest thing that happens in movies this year, cause otherwise it's gonna be real boring from here on out.

Certified Fresh incoming.
Are you saying the thread needed saving? 😉
Comparing the opening weekend gross to the final gross. A horrible multiplier is 2x, for instance.
It serves to measure word-of-mouth over a period of time in the United States.
I think it's done by dividing the total domestic Box Office over its weekend opening, for example Endgame was 2,4 I believe, which is a typical number for a blockbuster. Batman v Superman had 1,99.
I'd like to know the context on "Doolittle goes down on a squirrel". Surely that can't be a real thing in the movie?!
The dragon thing definitely happens because I've seen a bunch of people talk about it.

BvS is an example of a horrible multiplier; its domestic total was 1.9x the opening weekend.
TROS will be like 2.8x (TLJ was 2.6x).
It includes international and domestic? Would that make Knives Out's multiplier 9.96? ($266,730,568 total now / $26,769,548 opening weekend) That's insane if that's the case.

It's usually for domestic only. Even then, Knives Out has had a crazy good multiplier (5.4x).

Ah, ok. So really it tells one of two stories. Either the movie has really good legs or the movie did not open very high in the first place. Seems ripe for misunderstanding by people just ducking in and out.
what's christopher nolan's highest domestic grossing film that's not a batman? Inception? trying to gauge how much Tenet could make.

Doesn't Greatest Showman have like the most absurd multiplier at like 19.8x or something?
I recall the film was 5th in the opening weekend it released wide.

2.82x for TLJ actually. TROS is going to barely go past it. That $502m is just a placeholder, but it will hit that number and thus get a better multiplier. Just how much higher it goes is anyone's guess.
And for the weekend and weekly drops on Skywalker, that is using only 2 and 3 drops respectively, while all the other films in the chart have 10 weeks, so that skews that number slightly for now until more time goes on. It also screws with the averages at the bottom. Because once you remove TROS then the avg gross at 4 weeks is about 90%.
It really is. Endgame's legs might not look as good as other movies because it was hugely, highly anticipated and theaters went 24 hours for the release. And a lot of franchise movies have similarly frontloaded grosses (like Harry Potter for instance). And then it's also complicated by the time of year (Christmas holiday releases tend to have longer legs as people have more free time) or what gets released shortly after.
20.98x. It also made more than 3x the money Showman did domestic, and was #1 at the box office every week from December until first week of April.
EDIT: Week 11 was the first time it had a weekend below $20m. It kept adding theaters weekly until week 18 when it finally lost 253 screens. Its week 15 weekend gross was higher than TROS 4th weekend.
It just wouldn't stop.
