Man these GoT actors scraping the bottom of the barrel for a chance at success on the big screen.
Hey he had the lead role in Cinderella man. The Disney live action movie which.... no one talks about anymore!

I'll say 1:5
I'm thinking that Warcraft could finish around $50M domestic
Cinderella, man. Cinderella Man is a completely different movie.
Cinderella did have some amazing costumes. I've actually got some custom made versions of the prince charming outfits and they're spectacular. I'm still well on board the keep GOT characters out of my movies band wagon though.
$50M sounds pretty accurate for the US but I'm thinking international could go higher than 250. If china alone is looking at 200+ and it's already at $70M international with more markets to open in.
I'll say a little over 50 domestic and 350-400WW. Of course I'm just pulling those numbers out of my ass.
I am expecting the international total to top 85% of the worldwide total.
I am mostly interested to see how Pixar updates they environments and animation in Dory since Finding Nemo shows its age after 13 years.
I wonder if that sort of a situation will end up adding some curiosity to the film's appeal that otherwise wouldn't be there. Depends on how strongly media/marketing hammers that worldwide number, but I could see people like "what is it about this movie that's causing it to blow up everywhere but here?"
Hoping why? Because of the word Spook, which means spy/government agent?
It isn't though, it looks like it's based off a BBC show.
Mother of Christ, Disney marketing machine in full rev for Finding Dory
There's like 4 different commercials playing on almost any channel I skip to on TV
ESPN has the regular + infographic one like 14,400 minutes, 240 hours, 10 days till Finding Dory arrives
You have the ad spots changing up
I love the seal one the most, "Get off, off, off, off, off, off"
Second one I enjoy is the countdown joke "Here we go, and Wait!... Here we go, Wait? (annoyed)..."
This movie I thought it wasn't really needed, but those ads now make me want to see it badly
Well done Disney
Also some some environment scenes looked very uncanny
Like the seals scene, the water/rock seals were laying on just looked too good.
I'm guessing 150+mil easily for Finding Dory
How many franchises has China saved recently?
The Expendables
Pacific Rim
Terminator
Warcraft

Never heard Spook used as a term for spy, occasionally ghosts, but it's not used her because it's a offensive term for African Americans, similar to the N word.
Maybe the next sidebet should be predicting the domestic:international ratio for Warcraft. Lol.
Here as in America? That's where I'm from too and I've mainly heard it as ghost or government agent. Once or twice I've heard it said and seen someone go "Uh what did you say?" but at least from my own experience I've never heard it used like the N-word so I assumed it had gone back to its other meanings? Or does language.. work that way?
Pretty sure the kid who played Joffrey saw the writing on the wall and just decided to retire.
I've heard ghost but never government agent, that one is new for me, and have been called it as an offensive term before, and yeah, America. Needless to say I was super confused by that poster

Didn't he say as much in some sort of sit-down at a University or something? I remember there being a video along those lines.
Just realized that this is only the second time that 5 films have crossed 300M domestic in the same year. Took only 4.5 months to get to that point.
Having seen Warcraft last saturday and the general reaction to it, It wouldn't surprise me t'll have good word of mouth and continue to do well. It has some pacing issues but it was a much better film then X-men apocalypse (imo) and the last two hobbit movies. (of course my my opinion)
I'm curious if the China market alone would making a sequel to Warcraft (I hope) worthwhile.
Third time. 2012 had 5 (Avengers, TDKR, The Hobbit, Skyfall, and The Hunger Games) and last year had 6 over $300M domestic (TFA, Jurassic World, AoU, Minions, Furious 7, and Inside Out).
Dory is all but locked to pass $300M, so that will make 6 this year at the very least. Rogue One will probably make 7 for the record if something else doesn't get traction before December.
I think Suicide Squad could hit $300m but it's going to need strong word of mouth I'd say.
There are a few films that could conceivably hit $300M (Suicide Squad being one), but I think that Dory and Rogue One are the only two left this year that would be surprising if they fell under $300M domestic.
Tarzan could get there. I believe

Gross, not losses.
Having finally seen Zootopia tonight, that movie deserves every single penny that it got. Very well deserved, and one of the best things Disney has done in some time.
Well the narrative over here will be a little to late to ride in on the hype
When Warcraft trailer leaked through Blizzcon, you heard some of the hardcore go, Oh great its like Avatar
The had a disgust kind of tone
Most of my family is like hey your gaming movie is coming, those big green monster dudes, like that LOTR but more Avatar...
So as anecdotal as it is, most don't see Warcraft as its own thing, they think of the movie of as a me too in the genre
Would be crazy if Warcraft grossed more in China alone than the entire WW.
First day estimate for Warcraft is around $45M. Second biggest day ever after Furious 7s first day. Presales are suggesting that the film will easily break $100M by Friday.
Boxoffice.com posted their final weekend predictions. $33.5M for The Conjuring 2, $27M for Now You See Me 2, and $21M for Warcraft.
