    I think it is the other way around. Even with this being an R-rated movie, it competing with the standard PG films. And doing super!

    You know what I mean?

    Welp, I'm about to leave to help do my part again. Had to poke around at a few theaters to even find a showing in my radius and fits my time, it's STILL selling out, especially now that the number of shows is reduced.

    I meant that they probably don't expect it to make quite as much as your standard PG-13 crowd-pleaser. Because a. being Rated-R is going to limit the audience somewhat for obvious reasons, and b. it's a much more somber, gritty, and brutal film than your average blockbuster overall.

    So taking said factors into account, yeah it's doing very well.

    Same. My record for a first run is Return of the King, which I saw 9 times in the theater (I've seen it 11 in theaters altogether, but two of those were re-releases). Half way there...

    Just got back from seeing it. Beautiful. A sad movie about a sad life spent surrounded by violence. Don't know if I ever want to see it again. "Run home to your mother," made me blubber like a tired infant. Tearing up now, just thinking about it.

    My record for seeing a movie is 10 for X-Men: Days Of Future Past. I'll be seeing Logan for my 2nd time tomorrow.

    My count (including tomorrow's Logan):

    -X-Men: Days Of Future Past 10
    -X-Men: First Class 8
    -X-Men: The Last Stand 7
    -X-Men: Apocalypse 5
    -X2 4
    -X-Men 2
    -X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2
    -The Wolverine 2
    -Logan 2

    Outside of X-Men, my multi views are:
    Fellowship Of The Rings / The Two Towers / Return Of The King 3x each
    Titanic 3x
    Rogue One 2x
    Alien V. Predator 2x

    I guess I haven't seen a lot of X-Men movies multiple times! Although there's probably some more that I can't recall, but I've never seen a non X-Men movie more than 3x in theaters.

    Just on Domestic Box Office estimates for this weekend, not only has Logan passed the $200MM domestic market, but also now stands above both Captain America: The Civil War and The Dark Knight for budget-to-revenue ratio (5.6X).

    I can't wait to see what the International Box Office total is going to bring. Without it, the film is at $547.3MM worldwide. Only $52.7MM from that $600MM mark. COME ON, LOGAN!

    Some of the films currently ahead of Logan in the all-time domestic box office for R-rated films:

    Terminator 2: $204M
    Wedding Crashers: $209M
    300: $210M
    Saving Private Ryan: $216M

    Passing Saving Private Ryan, which it could very well do by the end of next weekend, would put it in the Top 10 all-time domestic for R-rated films. After which comes:

    Ted: $218M
    The Exorcist: $232M
    Beverly Hills Cop: $234M
    The Hangover II: $254M
    The Hangover: $277M

    I think all of these are reachable by the time it leaves theaters. However after that we get Matrix Reloaded, American Sniper, Deadpool, and Passion of the Christ on the domestic box office. It has an outside chance to get to Matrix Reloaded, but it's going to be very hard-pressed to reach the $350M+ of the last three.

    Final worldwide weekend estimates are in.



    $565.5MM leading to a 5.8X Revenue Ratio (Revenue/Budget). And I agree, the Domestic Box Office has more room for growth before this tale is over.

    Saw it again tonight. Had to go to a different theater, the first one I wanted to go to was already sold out. So I went to another theater, and admittedly it was on one of their smaller screens, but it was still a packed house.

    Movie was just as good the 2nd time around, maybe even better. Picked up on some smaller things I didn't catch the first go round.

    But why the hell did they go to a casino in Oklahoma City? Gambling isn't legal in Oklahoma. That was straight up the Reno strip basically. Harrah's, Silver Legacy, El Dorado...

    2029. Obviously gambling was legalized in OKC by that time.

    I was thinking that, but it still seems like a rather odd choice to have a casino strip in a city that IRL doesn't have legalized gambling. I mean I know it's fiction and alternate timeline and all, but I don't see Oklahoma City legalizing gambling and turning into a Reno style downtown in a matter of 12 years. Especially since the casino setting didn't add anything to the story that a regular downtown setting couldn't have. Just again, seems like a strange choice.
