It's a $150-$200 million dollar R-rated sci-fi film that looks amazing, so I hope it does well, but it won't be easy. Gosling coming off of La La Land and Villeneuve coming off of Arrival hopefully locks this up for atleast Mad Max: Fury Road numbers, but the marketing department has a long way too go in order to get casual audiences interested, especially those that didn't see the first film.

Is it R-rated?

I am SO in for this film. Of all remaining films to be released this year, this is my most anticipated. Runtime was also released, a very meaty time of a little over 2.5 hours.

Early tracking already has it in the mid to high 40's which is around what I expected. If it gets great reviews I can easily see it opening in the 50's. It's going to need as big of open as it can get as well as good legs in order to become profitable for Warner Bros/Sony with a $185M budget.

Come on, it's opening to $65m+ and we all know it. Warner Bros is on fire. It has nostalgia, sci-fi, an actual fan base, 30 years anticipation, a good director, Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, and it actually looks good.

OW prediction: $42m

Why would they spend $185m on this?! Blade Runner has always been a borderline cult film. It's niche. It's not Star Wars.

Potential.

It is not about what it is, but about what it can become.

Blade Runner the film is a cult film, sure, but everybody knows the name, and that spells potential for Warner Bros. to franchise the hell out of it.

Yeah good points. The potential is certainly there for this to be huge - similar to recent October sci-fi quality blockbusters like Martian and Gravity. It's also a similar situation to Tron but with a more well known and beloved original.

Tron Legacy is definitely the best comparison and hopefully strong reviews will offset the fact that this isn't opening in December like that film.

I went conservative on this in MGs game, but now i think its gonna break out. Atleast $57m for the October record.

The social media embargo for this ends Tuesday and the review embargo ends Monday Oct 2 at 9:00AM. All very positive signs IMO.

I'm not surprised. The trailers had some nice visuals, but the clips we've seen seem very slowly paced and were kind of a chore to get through. And it's 2hrs 45 min.... I think Dennis is a bit overrated tbh.

Final prediction: $40m/$115m

No idea how this does internationally, BOM doesn't even have an INTL gross for the first part. Sci-fi can go either way.

Early reactions are out and they are extremely positive. Now, it might be because it's just the initial fan boy hype, but this should definitely get great reviews among professional critics, although I'm still not sure how general audiences will react to it.They make it pretty clear that it isn't an action film, but more of a hard, sci-fi detective drama which is what I expected anyways. Mainstream audiences may not be expecting that though.

This will be well reviewed so I don't think that will be a problem for the film.

I'd expect a 50m plus OW - the hype and buzz are certainly there. Though it likely won't hit 150m total.

There is no such thing as a Best Review Oscar.
