Bohemian Rhapsody Predictions

Post your predictions for the movie

I think it will top the US box office at #1 for at least two weeks

As always Queen is hitting for world domination, not just USA.

I get that, but what goes on in the USA as far as moviegoer tastes go doesn't always go in line with what the European or Asian audiences, for instance, would go for, or how big movies will do performance wise.
Just hedging my own bet, that's all.

My prediction is it will make its money back, but I don't expect it to be a box office hit. Are biopics doing usually well?

Yeah, this is definitely going to attract *a fair deal* of attention, because Queen and Freddie Mercury are still big names - I would be surprised if it flopped. But at the same time, I doubt it'll be a huge box office hit - it doesn't have a star-studded cast, or a highly socially relevant topic, or anything that'd draw extreme (social) media attention to it. So it won't get excessive free publicity, nor will it attract the kind of people who go in for the typical blockbuster (spectacular high-octane visual effects tend to trump....well, anything).

I don't think it will top many box offices around the world, but it will do wonders to allow Queen to reach more people.

I could see it being a moderate success or failure, and becoming a sort of cult movie as time goes by.

big hit in Europe....Moderate hit in America is my prediction. As far as how good it will be, my prediction is decent, a middle of the road movie...Not terrible but not a masterpiece either.

The film's success will pave the way for a sequel that begins with Freddie's death and focuses on Paul Rodgers (Freddie's favourite singer in a billion) and Adam Lambert (the voice in a billion of everyone's favourite singer)

Lets not forget South America, Rami Malek did do publicity there.

I still recall that profound statement on here a few years ago :
'Mark my words, this movie will never see the light of day'.
I'm not displaying a ' told you so' standpoint here, in fact I half agreed with this. Can't remember who said it.

This is not a Marvel movie so it's clearly not going to be earning anywhere close to a hundred mil. That said, the box office predictions are great. (see link) Rami Malek's performance is generating buzz. And everyone who grew up listening to Queen will all flock anyway,

Gettong bored of this movie allready

If the reviews are good I think it could crack 80-100 MM in the U.S. and do a bit better overseas. Maybe 200-250 MM worldwide?

Straight Outta Compton had a 60 MM opening and made 160 MM in total in the U.S. but had very little appeal overseas. Bohemian Rhapsody will do much better overseas, I think.

Are any of these predictions more reliable than my stock market predictions?
