I think anything above 40 would be surprising.

I have no idea how to predict this. On one hand films with Asian-only leads don't do well outside of wire-fu historical dramas (Crouching Tiger, Hero), but there is a big market for novelty after all and this does seem to have some hype. I think it will do well in the coasts but I have a hard time seeing middle America going for this. At best I see a mid 20s OW and a finish over 100m since WOM will probably be quite good. But $175m?? It would have to be a Big Fat Greek Wedding type run.

Yep. This pretty much confirms you have learning difficulties.

Nah. The Meg will make more to matter what their final totals are. It will be payback for Shark Fin Soup.

I'm feeling this will perform like The Help. Similar release dste (opened on a Wednesday) and adjusts to $198m.

Both The Help and We're the Millers were August Wednesday releases with very long legs. I don't know if this has the same appeal as those, but it looks like it definitely has the potential.

I saw this last night and the first thing I said to my friend after it ended was "this movie will print money." It's a HUGE crowdpleaser. I'm expecting an A+ CinemaScore. It’s a throwback to those ‘90s/‘00s romantic comedies that were huge sleeper hits.

This will have some good legs but it is the type of movie where audience would have made up their minds upfront and reviews just wouldn't matter. Also in this age you can wait for a few months to get home media.

Yeah, at the end of the day it is still a movie featuring Asians. I am not sure people will care.

:funny:

There's also the book factor which is getting this more than usual publicity. First Twilight managed $192m from a $69m opening and this isn't even coming close to that opening, hype or not. I think 2.8 is a good multiplier for this.

Chippy is as racist as they come. Only cares about the minorities that are "in" that year.

MBFGW is an apt comparison. Rom-com that is about a "non-american" culture. Slumdog Millionaire was in a similar spot.

And wait... Asian people aren't white? What are they, zwack?

If CRA doesn't make $175m then Chippy will accept his stupidity.

Yep, because I said it would reach $175 mil.

MBFGW wasn't based on a best selling book. Twilight is an apt comparison in that way but it isn't obviously.

Well that's what seems to be my conclusion when you start calling names to people who argue the success of this club.
