Who else predicted above 40M in the derby or in predictions threads? I can't be the only one.
haha. I predicted like $25m and I thought it was a bit high...

Saw TFA again last night, almost an empty theater (maybe 10-15 people). There were a couple snorers, but the movie itself was still great.

I just straight up missed the entire Star Wars hype train, The Force Awakens almost outright flopped in India and had little to no promotion there, and by the time I am back here in the US it has earned most of its money already. Will probably watch it at some point maybe just to join in the discussions.
Tonight would be a good night to see it.

Does anyone else think that Ridley looks like Knightley in blanks's sig?
she could pass as a decoy

She won't have to ever do anything else after VIII and IX. Gonna be hard to top that trilogy in a portfolio.

Unreal. I think America likes Star Wars
isn't it beautiful?

So is Avatar 2 going to come back and beat JJ?
-
I don't see a scenario where Revenant gets $40m+
It just doesn't look like it'll appeal to enough people.

Aight, I know I'm drifting further off-topic, but I gotta pimp ZHIVAGO just a bit more, for those on the bubble. You've got one of the greatest visual directors ever, paired up with one of the great all-time cinematographers, working off a stellar (and Oscar-winning) script by the legendary Robert Bolt. Music by Maurice Jarre. You've got a great screen beauty, Julie Christie, you've got Omar Sharif, Ralph Richardson, Alec Guinness. You've got it all shot in epic 70mm -- and I mean epic, this is back when they'd get 10,000 extras for the crowd scenes.
Plus the background of the forum is snowing... the perfect setting.
It doesn't help that someone a couple pages back posted the Amazon link AND I'm currently building a cart there (realized I didn't even have Avatar yet... what a great bundle these two movies would be)

I really do recommend checking Zhivago out. It can be a little slow and it's long so don't start it at midnight. But it's really good!
Honestly, at 200 minutes it's shorter than I expected.

looked up The Robe for anyone who is curious: It's about Jesus's Robe and who possesses it after his crucifixion. Another older Biblical movie that really drew in the crowds.

It makes sense that kids and twentysomethings aren't familiar with it. But then again, given their general lack of interest for anything before they were born (no offense intended), is it that surprising? Anyone who's got a vague interest in classic movies or novels would be familiar with at least the name. I mean, shit, it's an on-going punchline in TRUE ROMANCE.
Idk. I'm in my 20s and I have seen or know the general plotline of all top 15 movies on the adjusted list beside Zhivago. I've never heard of a single person in real life talk about it, whereas every other movie in the top 15 at least there's some chatter.

I have noticed something that I don't understand.
Looking at the following chart, Snow White made 184 M in 1937, while GWTW made 198 M in 1939.
Yet GWTW is adjusted to twice as much as Snow White !
Why ?
both movies had several re-releases.

Different adjusted lists will calculate their adjustments differently.

TPM - Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon
AOTC - Obi-Wan, R4
ROTS - Obi-Wan, Anakin
ANH - Luke, Han
ESB - Luke, Han, Leia, Vader, Yoda, 3PO
ROTJ - Luke, Vader, Emperor, Han
TFA - BB-8, Rey, Kylo, Finn, Chewy, Han

you guys really see a 25%+ drop for Wednesday?

As of Monday TFA has effectively a $131.3M cushion compared to Avatar gross to make $1B.
To put that in perspective. There are 87 days between now and March 31. If TFA was to make $1.5M below Avatar's daily gross all 87 days, it would hit $1B on 3/31.
FWIW, there are 27 days out of those 87 where Avatar didn't even make $1.5M for its daily gross. So there are 27 days during that period where it is physically impossible for TFA to make $1.5M less than Avatar.
I'm kind of scared how do-able this sounds...

If TFA doesn't outgross Avatar worldwide at the box office, it'll still make a lot more with the insane amount of merchandise sold.
Forget all the other toys. Just those BB-8 Phone-controlled droids will get it there.

I know a lot of people in the US returned to work / school yesterday. I'm not sure what other countries are like around now, if they're all back at work & school.

Looks like it'll still hit $1billion if it follows your %s from here on out (I got $1.03b, $742m / $771m * $1071m)
Thursday early est. SW 7 $5.97m = $770.38m | DH 1.48 | H8 1.29 | Sisters 1.1

to be fair it's hard to have good Friday jumps when your Thursdays so far are $27.4m and $22.9m
