Appearently theres no offical prediction thread, just clubs.



Thursday: 43.9
Friday: 32.6
Saturday: 38.5
Sun: 33.8
Monday: 26.2

Fri-Sun: 104.9
Fri-Mon: 131.1
5 day: 175

Total: 340

Opening Day: 38 million
3-day OW: 82 million
5-day OW: 140 million
Domestic Total: 320 million
Overseas: 470 million
Worldwide: 790 million

The only film that will top 300 million this summer.

Opening Day: $36 million
3-Day Weekend: $72 million
4-Day Weekend: $108 million
5-Day Weekend: $122 million

I think it has a possibility for the highest 5day total ever to pass Sith. I think its good for around 175 million, and 370+ here and another 500 million overseas. I think there is an outside chance to pass Jurassic Park to become Spielberg's highest grossing film. The lack of competition and a good chance at the Hulk really flopping is all Indy's favor. It just needs to be good.

While its not as hyped as Sith obviously the fact that this is also being viewed as the number one pick for the mjority of audiences for the summer. It has an extra day in Thursday, and it has the big advantage of a level Sunday and the biggest holiday Monday, which could very well put it in its realm.

Though Im also in the spectrum if it doesnt make it its no way a disappointment. I feel that as long as Indy passes 150 for the 5 day, it will clean up the summer.

$38 million Opening Day
$30.5 million Friday (-20%-ish)
$91.5 million Friday-Sunday
$111.5 million Memorial Day weekend
$149.5 million 5-day
$330 million Domestic Total

Huge opening, decent legs. The total should be enough to win the year. I'd definitely say it's enough to win the summer.

I wil be shocked if it doesnt break siths 5 day record, though its thurs-sun totals will be down from sith's.

Fridays gross will be Thursdays without midnight screenings.

Thursday: 44 (12 million in Midnights)
Friday: 32
Saturday: 39 (decent bump from familes)
Sun: 33 (great drop)
Monday: 26

Fri-Sun: 104
Fri-Mon: 130
5 day: 174 new record

265 tops.

you heard it here first.

Opening Day: $39 million
3-Day: $95 million
5-Day: $150 million

2nd Weekend: $49 million
3rd Weekend: $30 million

Total: $450 million

CRAZY, yes. But I really think it can do it.

I see this having legs actually. I'm getting a Phantom Menace sense, where it actually had legs because it was an event that everyone needed to see, despite being a bad film. Older audiences hadn't seen a SW film since 1983 (16 years earlier), while with IJ4 older audiences will not have seen an IJ film since 1989 (19 years). It will have a big opening, but legs as well as there's alot of nostalgia on this one. It won't approach Phantom Menace levels as SW was always bigger than the IJ franchise. But with inflation, it should do very, very well.

I'd say its legs will be much more similar to those of Revenge of the Sith and Attack of the Clones than to those of Phantom. We are in 2008. It is reality that huge, hyped films are frontloaded.

With that said, I doubt it'll be as frontloaded as Spider-Man 3 or PotC3.

I'd feel much more confident in this if it was opening May 16th instead of Memorial Day Weekend. The week before Memorial Day Weekend, the first two weekends of July, and last two weekends in DEC before Christmas are in my opinion the best weekends to open blockbusters (or potential blockbusters). Yes, a little obvious, but these weekends allow for the huge opening AND legs. Like Narnia this year. It will get it's big opening and it's legs because of the weekend it's opening on. As long as it's not terrible of course.

350mill+

It is going to win the year easy.

Indiana Jones became famous for kicking off the summer on Memorial Day Weekend, its nastolgia at its finest. I agree that it should have been the week before, but Narnia was there first so its not like it would move if Indy went there.

Psh, any weekend other than Memorial Day would be a shame for Indiana Jones.

OW: 90 / 135 / 150

2nd Wkd: 45

3rd Wkd: 25

4th Wkd: 15

5th Wkd: 10

Total: 330-335m

Gonna win the year by about 30m over HP6.

hype for this is huge. and by huge i mean massive. Kids I know who seem like the least likely match for a 1960s adventure film are telling me how cool they think it's gonna be. And the best part is, they aren't even the target audience.

I think most are over-predicting this: my gut tells me that it'll be around 250 domestic. Good opening, meh legs.

Not sure if this matters to anyone, but the film is now completely finished and being shipped to people in 7 reels at 20 minutes each. So the film is at least 2 hours long. Yay.

With Credits:

Raiders- 115 minutes
Temple- 118 minutes
Last Crusade- 127 minutes
Crystal Skull- 140 minutes?

A reel typically runs 18-20 minutes, and I doubt reel seven would be completely full. So we're probably looking at around a 130 minute runtime.

Can't see it do under $250 million, but I honestly don't know what it'll add up to. 80/110/305...something like Attack of the Clones.
