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.

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

I'm guessing around $21M.

$30m+ for sure!

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

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.

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

Im thinking $35 mil.

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.

i think the fact that it's an hour and a half won't, and even if it was 3 hours:lotr anyone?

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

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.

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.

I predict roughly around 25 million.

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. :)

$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."

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

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.

$16,321,995

Kill Bill will mark the launch of the Fall movie season. If it weren't for the fact that the Coen Bros. new movie is probably going to pull in about 10 to 15 million this coming weekend, I'd say $38 million for sure. But given the appeal of Clooney/Zeta Jones, I'll subtract $10 million and say $28 million for the Friday-Sunday weekend.

28 million is my guess. Mystic River will do about 15, Intolerable Cruelty maybe 10-12.

16 million.

I predict about $20 million. Depending on the reviews, Intolerable Cruelty might draw more of the mainstream audience with its PG-13 rating.

This will truly be a weekend aimed at film geeks if nothing else. ;)

I think Easily over 30Million, the Hype is huge and people will see it.

Mystic River is in limited release this weekend, it won't do $15m.

In fact if Mystic River makes over $2m it'd be impressive.

Intolerable Cruelty looks alright, I don't think it'll be huge but I don't think I'm really the target audience for it.

I have no guess for Kill Bill, it's my most anticipated movie (of the year) but I don't know many others looking forward to it.

hmmm I kept thinking it would make 40-50, but thats totally not realistic. I guess since im a movie geek, and all the web sites/ good number of friends that I go to and hang out with discuss movie geek items, that KILL BILL is the world to us, when really its probably not as hyped outside of movie geeks. That said, Intolerable Cruetly doesn't seem like a hit.

I think it can make 35 million easily. Ah what the hell. put me in for 40 tops.

so yea, somewhere between 35-40 mill is my guess. but im stupid so what the hell do i know?

shit, I'm rambling. sorry

Since there is a commercial of the movie every ten seconds I expect it to do at least 30 million.

$26.34 Mill

$19 m..

I can't wait.

well, i'm going twice on friday and maybe once again on saturday or sunday...I'm thinking there will be some other tarantino freaks like myself out there doing the same. However, overall it will probably do in the 20-30 mil range. I've been pleased with its promotion and think that it has a decent amount of hype to carry it into the 20mil range.

QT isn't worried about the money it makes. I know you think he's lying if he says this, but QT is a film purest at heart and is just pleased to be able to make the film he has always wanted to see!

The exact number in my head. Followed by a HUGE word of mouth drop off, because I don't think the word is out that this is in 2 parts, and J6P's leaving this will be HUGELY pissed.

Sort of like the LOTR drop off ;)

I know those J6P were mad about the ending of the first movie and they still continued to see it.

If the movie is good then the fact that it is in two parts will make no difference at all.

Or it could be as successful as "Remo Williams, The Adventure Continues...."
