I'm sorry but I really think when it comes to the pre release tracking they are underestimating this movie. I don't think this one will match the 500 million of the first one nor should it have to on a 20 million dollar budget but it won't flop and it will certainly make over 35-40 million opening weekend.
shareAgreed, charlesfernandez. Fifty Shades Darker should do well at the box office which is why Universal produced the movie in the first place - not for awards or acclaim it will never receive, but for money. While I doubt FSD will rake in half a billion like FSOG, it will make a bucket of bucks.
shareI tried to explain this to another user. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline both stated that the advanced ticket sales were not as high as the first film. There has been a decline interest, apparently the fact the Valentine's Day/President's Day is not part of the weekend that brings big bucks. Also, competition from a family-oriented film (The Lego Batman Movie) draws a bigger/diverse crowd. But hey, sometimes there are surprises. Look at Deadpool last year, it surpassed its original possible projections. So who knows right?
