    We don't know yet what it will actually do. Let's wait for some numbers at least. With a $33m OD, i don't think it'll go bellow $125m, though. Even that may very well be all it needs to top Titanic.

     

    How?

     

    Domestic gross won't be higher than $950 mln. OS looks like $1.02-1.05 mld. It needs over $185 mln from China to beat Titanic worldwide perfomence, maybe more.

  2. GONE WITH THE WIND (Budget $3.977 mln) ......... /ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION/ (ATP $8.34, Dec. 2015)

    1939 .......... $20,000,000 ...................................... /$695 mln/

    1941 .......... $11,000,000 ........... $31,000,000 ..... /$366.96 mln/

    1942 .......... $4,000,000 ............. $35,000,000 ..... /$123.56 mln/

    1947 .......... $???

    1954 .......... $???

    1961 .......... $???

    1967 .......... $???

    1974 .......... $???            ............ $189,523,031

    1989 .......... $2,403,316 ............ $191,926,347 .... /$5.05 mln/

    1998 .......... $6,750,112 ............ $198,676,459 .... /$12 mln/

    ALL  ........... $198,676,459 .................................... /$??/

     

    Over $1.2 mld DOM adjusted only from 6 of 10 releases! Mojo has wrong data, adjusted number for Gone with the Wind should be more than $1.7 mld, and today average ticket price is $8,61 not $8,34 when I calculate this!

    I repeat. Only 2 movies in the history crossed one billion in domestic box office (adjusted) in their first theatrical releases! Titanic (1997) - $1,072.7 mln, and E.T. (1982) - $1,010.6 mln (according to my calculation).

     

    TFA won't be THAT big!! I think Avatar adjusted ($811,1 mln) is a huge challenge. First Star Wars original run ($220 mln before July 1978 re-release) adjusted is 'only' about $820 mln (biggest in the history of the series). I'm afraid that even with 3D and IMAX TFA won't beat that.

     

     

    I was wrong. Star Wars (1977) original run wasn't precisely $220 mln. According to IMDb the movie had $234,629,663 on July 23rd 1978. 21-23 July weekend (1st re-release opening weekend) was $10,166,336, so SW original run (till July 20th 1978) was $224,463,327. About $200-201 mln were from 1977, the rest from January 1st - July 20th 1978. Average ticket price in 1997 was $2.23, in 1978 - $2.34.

     

    It means that original Star Wars theatrical run adjusted is between $835-840 mln, and TFA cannot exceed this numbers, no chance!

     

    STAR WARS THEATRICAL RUNS (forget about shitty mojo numbers)

    1977 - $224,463,327 ($839.46 mln adjusted)

    1978 (1st re-release) - $33,908,317 ($120.82 mln adjusted)

    1979 (2nd re-release) - $10,345,657 ($34.38 mln adjusted)

    1981 (3rd re-release) - $38,546,556 ($115.64 adjusted)

    1982 (4th re-release) - $15,476,285 ($43.9 mln adjusted)

    1997 (Special Edition) - $138,257,865 ($251.22 mln adjusted)

    all = $460,998,007 ($1,405.42 mln adjusted - 2nd of all time!)

     

     

    boxoffice.com weekend forecast - $229 mln OW!

  4. Great news! I've never saw T2 on a big screen (it's my favourite movie of all time!), and 3D re-release means new blu-ray transfer (current blu-ray transfers are pretty bad = just old HD DVD transfers + DNR in Skynet Edition). I hope for new look of the movie like Cameron did with The Terminator, Aliens and Titanic (better contrast, new color-timing, much more details).

    T2's WW is at $519M WW. How high will this re-release push it too?

     

    I think $630 mln WW is in the game. About $35 mln DOM + $60-65 mln China + more than $10 mln from the rest of markets. It might finish under $600M of course, but it also might go much higher thanks to China.

    How big this can be in China? $50 mln? $100 mln? $150 mln?

     

    T2 was the first (or second, dependent on source) movie in history with over $300 mln OS, but never was released in China! Titanic made there $145 mln in 3D version, Terminator: Genisys $112,8 mln! I think +$100 mln is possible. $30-35 mln DOM + $10-15 mln rest of the markets.

     

    I'm so excited!! :)

    considering that it only need to sell 10% more tickets than TPM to get to 1B, I say its quite possible. TPM had mixed reviews and WOM. Plus you have another generation to sell to while the first generation is still alive and kicking

     

    As I said, the very first Star Wars original run adjusted is only about $820 mln, after that there was 5 more Star Wars movies and none of them, even with the re-releases, got close to that. TFA might go little big higher than TPM* adjusted thanks to 3D and IMAXes, but will not exceed SW'77 original run.

     

    *TPM had pretty good reviews and WOM (great legs). It was the most anticipated movie of all time, remember that!

    Jaws did

     

    Nope! Jaws were re-relesed in 1979 ($26,860,259 according to IMDb). In 1975 Spielberg's hit made $191,741,308 (according to IMDb), so: $260 mln (all) minus $191,74 mln (1975), minus $26,86 mln (1979) = $41,4 mln in 1976! $191,74 mln + $41,4 mln = about $233,14 mln in film's first theatrical run. It's $942,3 mln adjusted ($1,031.5 mln all - still less than Titanic did in 1997-1998)!

     

    I've done my research, and as I said, only two films would cross $1 billion domestically with today's ticket prices in their first theatrical run (Titanic and E.T.)!

    306 OW/1105 Domestic/2200 WW

     

    I remind you that only 2 movies in the history crossed one billion in domestic box office (adjusted) in their first theatrical releases!!

     

    1. Titanic (1997) - $1,072.7 mln

    2. E.T. (1982) - $1,010.6 mln

     

    ^ According to my calculation.
