 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
Its tracking at 79 million, I believe. Unless it has been adjusted since I last checked.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
Fanboys skew tracking.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
I'm sure that number will go up as we approach release. So 79 million could be under tracking by November.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
So you think it will be the biggest original film of all-time? Oh please.
Think before you speak.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
In terms of opening, isn't $79m the highest-gross for a totally original film?
I believe it trumps Avatar, Inception etc. You're mad if you think it will reach $79m on opening. It will be lucky to get $55m.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
There's no where near the same level of hype as Avatar or Inception. But ok, you're entitled to your prediction.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
What is the difference in hype between this and Inception?

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
McConaughey is coming off of Mud/DBC/Wolf and an Oscar win. Leo, while yes he is LEO, was only coming off Shutter Island.
And this has a new space curiosity thing going for it due to Gravity.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
Gravity probably quenched that thirst, so another film about it will not be met with huge demand. Actually, Gravity is a perfect example. Ten times better marketing and more pent up interest and it could only manage $55m opening. People predicting high total grosses for Interstellar, while I disagree, they are still possible. But the enormous openings are just dreams and will never happen.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
It's not like people aren't going to accept ONE SPACE FILM per yer. If anything, Gravity's success has guaranteed Interstellars success. Plus Nolan.

Come release date, if someone doesn't use the lyrics of" In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe" for the screen crowd report, I will burn down the nearest WWE venue that Magnus is attending.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
Looks really good. 65/250 maybe?
Hoping for a lot more though.

This just popped up on the Movie Tickets Top 5 seller at #4, with 6% of all sales, over five weeks away from opening.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
The final trailer was released? found? on their interactive website today. Probably why there is a bump.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
contemplating on if I should see it Tuesday night in 35mm, tickets are selling pretty well at the one theater playing it here.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
I wonder what opening weekend would be considered disappointing for it. I think anything below $65 million.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
I'm not sure how big the 35mm/IMAX #'s will be but I think Big Hero 6 being #1 for the weekend wouldn't be a surprise at all.

 Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions
It wouldn't be a surprise, but it would be an upset. I see the two opening with in 10 million of each other. I do think Big Hero 6 opening with 75 million would be more impressive than Interstellar opening that high, but I think Interstellar is more likely to do that.
