boxoffice.com Predicting HUGE 150 M OW and 390 M domestic for SOLO




https://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-tracking-solo-star-wars-story/

Boxoffoce.com is predicting Solo to be HUGE With a 150 Million OW and 390 Million domestically....

box office.com would not be predicting a weekend that Huge if tracking wasnt suggesting it, If Social Media hits and awareness wasnt suggesting it...

It seems SOLO is already tracking HUGE!

theres been a certain Poster on here(cough QUEEN Cough) that will surely be NOT PLEASED by this news....as this poster has been on an Anti-Disney/Star Wars quest...

Hilariously this poster predicted A 500 Million or less total Gross for SOLO....

this could get Very UGLY for queen as Solo is clearly not in any way heading toward the Lows queen predicted

Do you know how many times box office.com has been wrong?

Have you just recently started paying attention to that site?

do you know how many times boxoffice.com has missed by ALOT?

Not many...

I have no doubt, Boxoffice.com could be wrong about 150 M...its early, tracking could go up or down...but you are either completely missing the point or you understand the point you just dont want to except it.

The Point is, for boxoffice.com to predict that Huge of a box office...Tracking HAS to Be there...Social Media hits have to be there....they have to be looking at data that is similar to Rogue One and other films that opened at 150 M

Box office.com could be disastrously off, and they could miss by 20% on Solo, and that would still mean SOLO is looking at a 120 M+ opening weekend and 300 M + domestic gross.

lol you cant WIN...Your biased once again lead you to make Absurd predictions, You predicted a 500 Million or Less total gross for SOLO...

this prediction from boxoffice.com proves the film is tracking Massive and WAY beyond what you are expecting...

saying "Boxoffice.com has been wrong before is pointless"....Because for YOU...your going to need boxoffice.com to he wrong by over 40%....Which HAS NEVER happened!

Boxoffice.com, Mojo, any site can miss...but they miss by 10, 20 maybe 25% at the absolute most...

You need boxoffice.com to be wrong by A RECORD and Impossible amount...

again this is your fault, had you not made absurd Predictions and set your predictions so insanely low, you might be able to in a desperate and sad attempt to spin this...

But the facts are, SOLO is tracking to make almost 400 Million domestically alone, thats nearly 80% of what you Predicted its entire World Wide Gross was going to be...

you have no hope!

there is no way boxoffice,com can possibly MISS enough to help you...They could MISS, they could be off, SOLO might make 120, 125, 130 Million instead of 150 M...boxoffice.com has missed by up to 20% before....But YOU NEED then to be off by such a large amount...Its Impossible

I think you understand this...I think you were probably shocked when you read these numbers, I think thought immediately hit you "OMG how is SOLO tracking that high"

I think you clearly understand, that with a Prediction this high, It means Tracking and data is HUGE....

I think you know right now, your not even close with your predictions/expectations for SOLO, In fact in the coming weeks, I bet you'll start "moving the goal posts" preparing for the film to make way more....

you were at 500 Million or Less this week...By next week I bet you'll start saying SOLO will make 650 M but still be a disappointment...

the point is, it doesnt matter if Boxoffice.com is right or wrong or how close they get, its the tracking that matters, For them to predict An Opening this big....The Tracking Is HUGE and Nowhere close to Lows you've tried to suggest...

this is just going to be the 7th movie in a row you MISSED horrifically on....Justice League,Thor 3,Last Jedi, Black Panther, Tomb Raider, Ready Player One(lol its official you MISSED by at least 30 M on this one) and now SOLO

Wait, didnt you predicted a 400 Million dollar + gross for Pacific Rim 2 and Predict it to have a Leggy run due to being a crowd Pleaser?

lol ya you did, so thats 8 in a row you've missed on, considering PR2 will be lucky to make 300 M World Wide...you also MISSED PR2s OW...

$390 million sounds low for a Star Wars movie. Rogue One made $523 million domestic. I'll be surprised if the movie does well.

reply

$390 seems like a very good number for this particular star wars movie. just as there was almost inevitably going to be a bit of a retrenchment of enthusiasm from awakens to last jedi, i think there was almost certainly going to be some diminishing returns from rogue to solo.

the production difficulties and slightly wan enthusiasm for a solo film overall likely compound that effect. if this thing does 150m opening/390 total, i'd say that would be a huge good news story for the studio.

reply

complete agree...

Its not reasonable to expect Star Wars films to consistently make 500 or 600 + domestically...

Franchise simply dont do that...The MCU is similar...The Avengers films arent making 600 M + consistently...

the facts are The Avengers 1 and Star Wars 7 were PEAK Audience type films....This were event films that cant be replicated...

of course Star Wars and Avengers films Will always be huge, but they really should start settling in between 350 to 450 Million, Maybe 500 Million when they are excellent...

If SOLO make anything over 350 Million domestically, Its a Home Run....

"just as there was almost inevitably going to be a bit of a retrenchment of enthusiasm from awakens to last jedi"

More like backlash since Last Jedi was garbage and there's anger towards Disney SW from some fans.

reply

How do they track this though? like, do they just watch how many mentions Solo gets? because I know literally 0 people who are genuinely excited for this movie lol. All people do is bitch about it. I suggest Box Office is wrong.

reply

ya tracking is based on Awareness...

They look at social Media Hits,like and views from Twitter,Facebook ....extra...They also track interest in presales,

Its also based on polls, judging awareness and if you plan on seeing it in theaters...

Its a bunch of data put together to judge the interest in a film...Its gotten much more accurate in the last decade With the rise of Social Media, a ton of tracking is done With Social Media...

basically, if boxoffice.com is predicting a 150 M opening weekend...then the data/tracking they are seeing is extremely close to Rogue One...

boxoffice.com has to be looking at tracking/data that at least right now is very close to Rogue One...Now that could change, If SOLO doesnt increase in Hype and Awareness as it comes closer to its release, bo.com could start lowering thier projection...but right now, they feel more than confident tracking is there for a 150 M OW
