I will have to look at what territories launched, but the Thor number seems good.

OH MY GOD. Box Office Threads without insufferable titles. This board is already everyone I could have ever hoped for.
Im still really surprised about the terrible performance of Blade Runner. Here in Berlin it runs great, especially in IMAX. There's still 4 showings a day and I had no luck so far to get good seats because they get reserved so fast.
Also really, really interested in how Jigsaw is going to do. Saw is my biggest guilty pleasure and I'm pretty excited about these terrible movies being back. Hope they're doing well enough for a few more sequels.

It´s early predictions , it should be higher the colser it get´s to the release.
JL will gross more than 110M unless the reviews are atrocious. I think the early forecast for BvS was 120-140 and it did more than that with bad reviews lol. I could easily see 150M for JL, it's really a crapshoot because the DC fanbase isn't super confident in the upcoming materials so they adopt a wait and see approach.
I think he's willing to do a Black Widow movie actually lol. Scarlett didn't have a good year bo wise, but it's been the case for numerous people. I'm sure a Black Widow movie with Taika at the helm could perform well.
DO IT MARVEL!!!
I've been waiting for Black Widow movie since forever, Marvel is leaving money on the table for failing to make more women superheroes movies.
A Black Widow movie with Taika directing... I can't really imagine how glorious it's going to be. The women in Ragnarok simultaneously both kick ass and funny.
Regardless of reviews I imagine it'll top $110M easy. I do think it'll fall short of displacing Hunter Games again. It'd need another BvS sized opening, except it's November, and imo there's less excitement overall.
And ultimately Opening Weekend isn't as interesting as the drops week to week. Doubtful it'll hit the same stride as Wonder Woman, but if it happens to catch favor among audiences, it can do healthy business before Star Wars 8 breaks the charts.

THOR: RAGNAROK / JUSTICE LEAGUE OPENING WEEKEND BOX OFFICE PREDICTION GAME
Before our community transplant, we ran some prediction games that were pretty fun for box office regulars and lurkers. Biggest-Geek-Ever (currently floating in the discord clouds) and I are going to run a similar prediction game for Thor Ragnarok and Justice League.
PRIZES
Winners will receive game and digital movie prizes. We are still coming up with the prize pool, so those will be announced later. Expect a number of PC games (We have some conveniently timed Steam sales!), maybe some credit for the console digital stores, and digital movie vouchers. Don't expect Wolfenstein 2, but we'll try to make sure that the game prizes are good games that not everyone on earth owns from $1 bundles.
RULES
The rules are simple. Post your (domestic-only) Opening Weekend predictions for BOTH Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League. Make your prediction to the nearest $100k.
EXAMPLE BALLOT:
Thor Ragnarok: $300.0M
Justice League: $299.9M
Thor Ragnarok: $300.0M
Justice League: $299.9M
The order of prize winners will be determined by who has the closest COMBINED total. In the event of ties, the tie breaker will be the person who had the closest prediction on one of their films. For instance, someone who was $1M off of Thor's opening, but $19M off of Justice League's opening, will rank above someone who was $10M off of each. Because we expect several prizes, winners will get their choice of prize in their order of their ranking. If people pass on free stuff, we will continue down the list until it is all gone.
DEADLINE
The deadline for this contest is Sunday, 12:00AM EST (UTC-5). About 48 hours from now
Post your predictions in this thread. I will link an aggregate prediction list in the next thread.
Good Luck!

What the hell. I have no idea what I'm doing:
Thor Ragnarok: $96.6M
Justice League: $134.2M
Spent a whole ten minutes on my research at Box Office Mojo. Then searched for general predictions and saw mine aren't anywhere near what sites are suggesting. Oh well!

Is Kswiston taking these over or is it going back to Xaoslug when/if they get here?
Oh hot damn!

Thor Ragnarok: $104.7M

For a chance at an actual prize, you better believe I'll pretend to know much more than I do about something. Come onnnn underperforming blockbuster trendJustice League: $97.0M
As far as I can tell, Box Office threads are going be made by Kswis for the foreseeable future.
My predictions:
Thor 125.4M
Justice League 156.7M

I think that xaos decided to stay.
Anyhow, I am not going to be quite as consistent, but I have 2-3 people who are willing to get the thread up on the Sundays where I am busy. And since I can edit anyone's posts here, I can always go back and make things look consistent week to week if need be.
Apologies in advance if you get an occasional Bronson title though.
Let me complete blow you guys away.
Thor Ragnarok: $120M
Justice League: $200M
I don't expect to be right.

All right, all my predictions have been super wrong this year, but this is a new era. Let's go.
Thor Ragnarok: $118.7M
Justice League: $135.2M
I also predict that if JL gets below 50 on RT, regardless of their openings, Thor will outgross it in the end.

Thinking word of mouth will do a lot for Ragnarok.
Thor: Ragnarok - $130m
Justice League - $140m
JL is a wildcard though IMO. I think positive or negative WoM could make a $15m difference in either direction.

I don't think JL will be that negatively impacted from negative reviews.

Honestly not sure how Justice League will do. I don't think it'll be close to BvS but I'm not sure how much lower the opening will be.

Justice League: $137 million
Thor 3: $110.5 million
LOL @ people thinking Thor 3 is going to beat JL at the Box Office OW. It's okay because it wins @ being a truly quality film and as Blade Runner 2049 showed us recently, isn't that what really matters?

I had no idea they were making a sequel. And Hugh Grant is the villain? Perfect.
