How do you think "Kill Bill" will do opening weekend?
 
I'm guessing hype, of it being ultra violent, and Tarantino's first in 6 years, I'm guessing around 30 opening weekend, but going south after week 2.

Inverse 10-05-03 04:08 PM

I'd guess $23-27 million for opening weekend.

Geofferson 10-05-03 04:17 PM

I'm guessing around $21M.

matome 10-05-03 04:44 PM

$30m+ for sure!

Sunday Morning 10-05-03 04:50 PM

at least $10 dollars since I'll be seeing it.

Daytripper 10-05-03 05:03 PM

Since it's a holiday weekend, I'm going with 28-30 million.

Yup, me too. Holiday weekend, plus constant commercials on TV lately, plus it's been a while since any type of "event" movie has opened. Being the first Tarantino movie in 5+ years, I consider that to be an event movie. My guess is it does just over 28 million.

Seantn 10-05-03 06:03 PM

What holiday is it? I don't own a calendar.

RyoHazuki 10-05-03 06:28 PM

Im thinking $35 mil.

Chad 10-05-03 06:32 PM

I'll say around $37 million.

Well, The National Gumbo Festival in Bridge City, LA is happening on Friday, National Coming Out Day and Sukkoth on Saturday. Take your pick. :D


Columbus Day.

I think the fact that it's three hours long will keep people away.

Well let's hope they come back when they find out it has a listed running time of an hour and 50 minutes.

jekbrown 10-05-03 08:25 PM

clearly 2X mill... definitely not 30+ IMO. If it was PG-13 or if QT's style didnt turn some peeps off then maybe 30. ;) besides, 25 mill is very respectable for an R rated flick.

My prediction is 33-37 million. It might gross a little more than 100 million, but I don't see it doing much more than that.

clemente 10-05-03 10:02 PM

For most people, its not really a holiday weekend, they'll still be at work on Monday. It'll be a long holiday for the kids, but they can't get in to see the movie.

It is QT's first film in years (could be plus or minus), an R rating, and his last film didn't set the world on fire at the BO.

Anything more than $30 mil isa QT fanboy dream, 25-27 seems more reasonable.

bsktballDude1 10-05-03 10:40 PM

I predict roughly around 25 million.

scroll2b 10-05-03 11:04 PM

38.2 mil

Well, its a long Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, but I don't know how much that will help, since our box office take is worth about 10 percent of the US one. Anyway, I'm guessing 25-30 (closer to 30) million. I'll be first in line to see it anyway. :)

the big train 10-06-03 01:16 AM

$18 meeeellion dollars


There are places where people actually get to observe Columbus Day? :hscratch:
The only people around here that get Columbus Day off are mail carriers and bankers.

- "23 million dollars."

steebo777 10-06-03 07:56 AM

Saw it. Loved it. Will pay to see it opening weekend. 'Nuff said.

Mittman 10-06-03 10:32 AM

As much as QT fans think that he is a God, and his movie will do serious business . . . I doubt it will. About 18 Million seems right to me.
