    I was going to wait for my weekly update tomorrow to post this but I'll throw it in now since THE HYPE IS REAL

    Solo is upon us! And yes, it is a holiday weekend. It opens here Thursday night, so the box office take we'll be looking at will run from then until Monday night (4 days). As a reference, here is a list of the top ten 4-day Memorial Holiday BO takes:
    Top4day.PNG

    Solo should have no problem blowing these out of the water, unless early pre-sale estimates were highly exaggerated. But, that's why we play the game.. we''ll see this weekend!

    Blimey, it's a travesty that Days of Future Past opened lower than The Last Stand... hindsight and all that, eh? That said, it's also a telling indictment that Apocalypse was even lower than Bruce Almighty, the 'forgotten' Jim Carrey comedy.

    I'd guess it's Jurassic Park: The Lost World ;)

    Ha, busted...
    --- Double Post Merged, May 21, 2018, Original Post Date: May 21, 2018 ---
    Right, I know the tracking is higher and that it's the first Star Wars movie to open in May in 35 years, but given the still polarised fan-base and varying Cannes reviews, I'm gonna go for a more conservative $158m... and then sit back and wish I'd gone higher when I am proved considerably wrong :D

    Damm I was going for POTCAWE but my second choice would have been Indiana Jones because of Harrison Ford.

    My guess for SOLO $168 Million.
