I'm gonna say maybe a little less than Inception adjusted, so barely over 300 million.

I'll stand by the 150M minimum. But I need a trailer (not just a teaser that shows nothing) before I will speculate on how high it can go.

Too early and I do remember Excel/Magnus(?) creating one thread before.

INCEPTION MADE $290 MIL!??!

God damn. I always forget that.

Though that had one advantage over this, though...

Leo.

This has MM right now, who is huge.

I'd need to see a trailer to make a prediction.

That is a good point. But Nolan is bigger now compared to when inception released. Overall I would say the hype will be bigger for interstellar than inception in regards to GA.

My predictions

80/350. Should also do great OS. I think this has a shot at 1BWW.

I'm not going to have the "Leo is the biggest star" argument again. I've already won it.

I'm not saying MM isn't big... but a draw? Completely unproven.

I dont think we will se a gravity kind of hit this october. So this one will be 1st blockbuster opener since summer. It would be really surprising for it to open below inception. It could have worse legs even with similar reception but not OW.

This should easily open over $70 mil.

The highest opening weekend for an original film is Avatar with $77m afaict, and that had 3-D.

Going to need an all-time great trailer (on par with Inception's 2nd trailer) in order to think about beating that.

/?realistically it is dififcult to envision this opening higher than Thor 2. What did that hit again?

Author:  Chippy [ Fri Mar 07, 2014 11:59 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Interstellar Domestic Predictions

Thor 2 did $85 mil.

I am with Chippy on Leo being a much bigger draw than MM even though the later just won his Oscar (ironically against Leo).

Nolan still is the same self in terms of draw he was bigger before coming off TDK and while this time it is TDKR, the impact of TDK was much deeper than TDKR.

I don't think anything guarantees $70m-$77m or the biggest original opening at this point. We will see how the trailer changes things.

What? Nolan now has Inception and TDKR on top of all the other films. The media treats him as god.

He's not a house hold name, but the media pushes his films as if he were.

At the moment I'd say $225-250M.

LOL at sparrow. nolan is now coming off 3 movies having grossed close to $3B WW and has given a huge original blockbuster. He is several times more well known now compared to before inception opened. Especially in OS you will see the impact. we have seen TDKR>Inception>TDK in OS. I am thinking Interstellar can even beat TDKR if it makes > 100M in china which I am told is on the table. Its expected to open day and date in China.

Oh yeah, so huge. Mud and Dallas Buyer's Club were huge hits.

He won an Oscar. Let's get something straight, that doesn't mean he's the biggest draw ever. Jeff Bridges, Jean Dujardin and Colin Firth have all won the same Oscar in recent years, and their next films, they either weren't the lead (which says a lot in itself) or they made small money.

Impossible to tell before a real trailer, but unless it sucks ass and/or is extremely artsy, the minimum for it is actually $200 million. If it is on the same level of acclaim/mainstream-accessibility as Inception, then $300 million will happen. Thanks to Dallas Buyers Club/True Detective/The Wolf of Wall Street McConaughey's star has risen immensely.

This is a domestic club last time I checked. I know you try LOLing most of my posts but just look at what junk you post, most of them are irrelevant to conversation going around o you pick up posts that I would have made sometime back.

Here your entire argument seems to be based on OS popularity which this club does not address.

I still stand-by my statement. Yes Nolan is coming off from TDKR, Inception and TDK but I believe that has got him more casual fans that will come to his movies if WOM is great and not rush over OW. TDK and TDKR OW should not be considered here because of Batman being this popular in states. Aside from Inception none of his original movies have opened huge and we would need a trailer before deciding how big this can be.

I am definitely not posting any axioms here for sure. Anyway I am not saying just OS. His name is significantly more popular compared to pre inception. That is not a matter of debate. You will see the effect more pronounced in OS as you see dramatic impact in emerging markets where business is growing at a huge rate(like China). But effect that Interstellar will show is lot bigger OW than inception. This has everything going for it. Ensemble star cast with names that definitely have strong recognition, uber budget highly mainstream premise and a great release date(1st major blockbuster post summer). Its going to open > 80M for sure.
