Let's do it, why the fuck not: it's the 4th annual Guess the Opening Weekend Gross for the latest Star Wars movie. Last year, we had 22 people join in to guess the opening weekend total for The Last Jedi. We're about a month out from Solo, so let's get this going. Here are the rules and guidelines from last year: 1. You'e guessing the opening weekend gross (Thursday through Sunday, May 24th-27th) of Solo: A Star Wars Story in the U.S. only. 2. Your guess should be rendered in whole-numbered millions only. So $100m is okay, so is $101m, so is $247m--but you can't guess any further digits (i.e., $100,500,700) and you can't guess halves or cents (so $105.5m is a no-go). 3. We're going to wait until final numbers come out after the end of the weekend--quite frequently, there will be an estimate put out on Sunday morning, but we're going to wait for the final numbers (people never fucking understand this), which usually come late Monday/early Tuesday. Note: Monday is a holiday in the US so lots of sites/publications will quote the weekend as including Monday, but we won't for out purposes. 4. We're going to be using numbers from boxofficemojo.com 5. There are no prizes; you just get to gloat and know that you are better than anyone else. Previous Champions: 2017 - durdencommatyler was closest ever, less than $1m off The Last Jedi's total ($220m) (post) 2016 - daft twat was closest at around $8m from Rogue One's total (which was $155m) (post) 2015 - zeb was only $2m off with his guess for Episode VII's opening gross (which was $247m) (post) Here are some numbers as guides; I'll add Avengers next week, as I'm sure it'll hop in: Quote: 2018 Top Opening Weekends 1. Avengers: Infinity War $257m 2. Black Panther $202m 3. A Quiet Place $50m 4. Ready Player One $41m 5. Fifty Shades Freed $38m Quote: Top 10 Opening Weekends of All-Time 1. Avengers: Infinity War $257m 2. The Force Awakens - $247m 3. The Last Jedi - $220m 4. Jurassic World - $208m 5. The Avengers - $207m 6. Black Panther - $202m 7. The Avengers: Age of Ultron - $191m 8. Captain America: Civil War - $179m 9. Beauty and the Beast - $174m 10. Iron Man III - $174m Quote: Star Wars Opening Weekends
1. The Force Awakens - $247m 2. The Last Jedi - $220m 3. Rogue One - $155m 4. Revenge of the Sith - $108m 5. Attack of the Clones - $80m 6. The Phantom Menace - $64m 7. Return of the Jedi - $23m 7. The Empire Strikes Back - $7m 8. Star Wars - $1m (lol) |

I think the second weekend will see it make more money than it’s first weekend. There’s nothing cool coming out against it that second week. And if word of mouth is good it’ll see an upswing. But I’m gonna say 137 opening weekend. |

Considering the projections for the Avengers this weekend (in the $240m range) another fun handicap would be if you think Solo can get even half as much. Looks like about half of us think yes, half no. |

Looks like about half of us think yes, half no. Actually--even with official numbers pending--Avengers may have taken down TFA: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4393&p=.htm |
