Magnificent 7 Box Office Predictions
Domestic: $125-145 million
Worldwide: $340-360 million
I think its performance will be close to that of Django Unchained.
Right around $300 million.

Pretty much same OW than the equalizer, should end up between 92 to 115 million domestic I recon.
Dom/total ratio
True grit: 68%
Cowboys V aliens: 57%
Django: 38%
Denzel:
The equalizer: 53%
Unstoppable: 45%
2 Guns: 57.3%
Antoine Fuqua
Southpaw: 57%
Olympus Has Fallen: 61%
The equalizer: 53%
Looking at those and with the current exchange rate, I would guess a 45% ratio would be really good.
So between 211 to 250 million worldwide for a nice success and overperforming what they probably predicted by a little bit.
Opening weekend - $35 million.
sharedamn, good prediction
shareProbably won't make it to $180m WW unless it overperforms in Japan next month - it opened in most overseas territories to $19m (it opened a week ago in South Korea to decent numbers but didn't fare so well this weekend), coming in second to Bridget Jones' Baby overseas. For a western, that's not a bad foreign opening, but the US will account for most of the gross on this one.

And the great Chris Pratt debate ...is he a box office draw or not..continues.
sharePretty much, if that movie do Equalizer type of foreign business, will know that he is not a draw for that type of movie (I suspect he need a more attracting for younger audience material and more a comedic/Han Solo type of role to be a draw)
shareThe overseas numbers are pretty unexceptional, but you could make a case that Pratt may well have helped the film (he's certainly been the only cast member the reviews have had much good to say about) because it's still performing better than most Westerns without a major international superstar.
It's already outgrossed the entire overseas runs of 3:10 to Yuma ($16.4m, 23.4% of total), Open Range ($9.9m, 14.6% of total) and The Missing ($11.3m, 29.6% of total), but about the best it can hope for at this stage is to get somewhere near True Grit's $81m overseas total (32.1% of its total gross). It's certainly no Django Unchained, doing just one sixth of that film's opening weekend business in Italy (where DU did $16.2m total) and one twenty-secondth of its OW in Australia (where DU did $16.5m).
