Hmmm...curious how that will work. Already bought a ticket for Rogue One and Dunkirk in IMAX Laser on Saturday January 14th. Maybe La La Land is only in certain IMAX theaters.

It is. It won't be nationwide.

So ANH dropes to #10 on the all-time chart this week and will inevitedly be kicked out of the top 10 this year! Was this classic ever not in the unadjusted top 10?

I believe that weather is playing a role as well. A lot of the Pacific Northwest is snowed in right now.

Here it is bad in parts too

(my region - streets yesterday to today during the afternoon starting till after midday today = ice ice ice and a lot of hurrican-strength-winds - and at the other end of the country a bad spring flood...).

Before its release

It might snow in the southern US, including Atlanta, this weekend. The last time this happened was really something:

I'd actually be curious to find out how long it took in its initial release to break into the all time top 10. I'd guess it was sometime in July of '77.

 

Actually, we can more or less construct a top ten prior to its release. Here's the earliest chart for DOM we can get from BOM, January 1, 1982:

 

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/domestic.htm?asof=1982-01-01&p=.htm

 

If we eliminate all films from 1977 and later, we get this:

 

1. Jaws, 260m

2. The Exorcist, 193m

3. Gone With the Wind, 189m

4. The Sound of Music, 158m

5. The Sting, 156m

6. The Godfather, 133m

7. Blazing Saddles, 119m

8. Rocky, 117m

9. The Towering Inferno, 116m

10. American Graffiti, 115m

 

So the question would be how long it took Star Wars to get to 116m in that initial release.

 

Ironically, George Lucas kicked himself off of the top 10 chart.

Well with that harsh drop who wants to open up the What Went Wrong thread for Rogue One?

Def a bit of a larger drop than I was hoping for, but I was internally pegging around 4.5/4.6, so not horrifically bad.  But I do think these post Boxing Day/NYD Observed Mondays are sucking up some of the tickets that would have been sold later in the week.  That is, someone who might have been planning on seeing it Wed or Thr saw it Mon instead.

 

Not many, but enough to play with the drops.  Also think this might play with the weekend bump, but we'll just have to see.

 

One thing's for sure.  Holiday season is never boring.  It even keeps giving gifts after it's over.

More fuel to the fire for Holiday Monday sucking up part of the weekly gross idea. Discount Tuesday as a one-two combo probably helped as well.

[La Binoche]

Is Blah La Land the most overrated film since Carol? At least Carol deservedly bombed.

I don't know if Discount Tuesday helped it that much either. It still fell more than Tintin on Tuesday, and then had a harsher drop (Tintin's was 33%) on Wednesday.

If it follows Tintin's rises and drops from here it hits about 266m. Friday's bump will probably indicate if it's going to go above or below that.

I'm cool with whatever, we all know TDK is the gold standard of blockbusters from this past decade. I assume quite a few films will be passing it unadjusted as the years roll on.
