I'm thinking $150-ish over the 4-day... So it all comes down to Monday.

I don't know...theres a side of me that has me do out the numbers by day and they add up to 175...but theres another side that has me thinking bust...i don't know. tracking will me decide; i fear the fanboy in me is inflating my prediction

domestic: $320m

overseas: $530m

total: $850m

With Narnia dissapointing i think Indy will open even bigger. hell, here are my first and final 5 day predictions.

Thur: 45.0(with midnights)
Fri: 40.0
Sat: 42.0
Sun: 35.0
Mon:25.0(national holiday)

3 day(fri-sun):117.0
5 day: 187.0

When will you see Indy 4?

71.6% - OW
18.1% - Sometime in theaters
3.2% - Never

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/polls/?pag ... 536&p=.htm

When will you see Spider-man 3?

65.9% - OW
22.8% - Sometime in theaters
3.0% - Never

I see 160 million 5-day...

Opening Weekend - $173 million (5-day)

Total Gross - $368 million

377 million total. Still sticking with the number since last year

$114/$337

OD: 42.7m
Friday 34.58 - 19%
Saturday 36.3 +5%
Sunday 31.9 -12%
Monday - 24.927 -22%

3-day - 102.78m
5-day - 170.4m
7-day - 193.68m

TOTAL: 376.5m
International: 400m
WW: 776.5m

to me it will open exatcly like ROTS (similar drops and such) and drop 25% Monday...


However, I cannot see over 160 million for the 5-day. Even then I think I am over predicting.

Iron Man will be to Indiana Jones 4 what Spider-man was to Star wars episode 2.

So LadiesMan217's official prediction of Indy is 222 million :thumbsup:

Im still in the 415 million range myself

I really have a bad feeling on this one, I had it on Narnia and I have it on this.

I tell you this, if Indy disappoints as a movie (even though it may break records like spider man 3, I think TDK can pull off a DMC...

notfabio posted this, can someone translate in regards to Sith and SM3 at similar points before release?

INDI4:
134 Midnight
56 Thursday

As big as this will be, I truly see it following a Phantom Menace like run but more frontloaded. The opening weekend will be underwhelming and there may be preliminary what went wrong threads, but it will have legs for much of the summer. TPM was a movie that everyone saw because it was an "event," 16 years in the making. It wasn't a "good" film that merited such long legs.

I'm sure alot of people will be seeing IJ4 at different times too and not just opening weekend, being 19 years since the last one. 20 and 30 somethings around the time of Raiders of the Lost Ark are now 50 and 60 somethings. These are many of the people that drove this franchise to be such a huge success. I feel that the nostalgia factor will work in IJ4 favor for a number of weeks as well, especially with so much room in June, which is full of potential disappointments. IJ4 will have a lengthy run, but slightly underwhelming opening.

$98 m/$410 m

Darn, if only Narnia hadn't taken that position a week earlier...

final prediction:

OD - 43.2
Friday - 33.5 (-23%)
Saturday - 34.6 (+3%)
Sunday - 29.7 (-14%)
Monday - 21.1 (-29%)

3-day: 97.8
5-day: 162.1

Total: 342.6 (it looks like this one will, ultimately, be a crowd-pleaser)
International: 415.0
WW Total: 757.6

Opening: $166
Final: $355

Okay, I am starting to see a lot more hype from younger people as my sister and my cousins want to see it.

All I can say, is a huge opening is to come...

Domestic-315
World-360
Total-675

Anything from 250m to 450m for this film now as the wide range with extremes on both sides, but now it seems to be settling towards a mid-300m range.

Dom: 350m
OS: 400m
WW:750m

Final Predictions:

Thursday: $39 million (including midnights, which I think will come to around $7-8 million)
Friday: $31.2 million (20% drop; pretty much even with Thursday sans midnights)
3-Day Weekend: $96.7 million (3.1 multiplier)
4-Day Memorial Day Weekend: $118 million
5-Day Total: $157 million
Domestic Total: $335 million

Depending upon how huge Dark Knight ends up being, Indy could be the #1 film of the year at the box office.

More and more I'm seeing $400 m for this domestically and $1 billion worldwide. It gets every demographic, will have a huge opening because of Memorial Weekend, but will have the nostalgia factor to give it decent legs, with 50 and 60 somethings being the core demographics that drove the original to such big success.
