    I'm really surprised this is nowhere near avengers numbers. This is basically avengers 3 in its form and reviewing really well. Was avengers the pinnacle box office ow wise ?

    How is 10% off from AOU "nowhere near" Avengers numbers? This is still a huge opening day and could easily hit 200M OW....

    Jungle Book's weekends really have been extraordinary. It seems like a good bet to hit $350M even with a 50% drop next weekend.

     

    With the weaker weekdays, Disney should really consider releasing JB2 in July so it can fully utilize summer weekdays and really make some gangbusters.

    350m? 400m is starting to look like a real possibility at this point...especially if it can have a decent hold next week against Captain America.

    Fantastic Beasts is do 90/250. Just fine. WB will move forward with the second movie.

    Fantastic beasts will open to less than the jungle book? Ahahahaha....don't make me laugh. That would be beyond disappointing.

    For Fantastic Beasts to be above Batman v Superman it would need to beat all the first 7 Harry Potters, despite being a spin off with none of the characters. Never going to happen. If it got to 200M it would be a great achievement, 350M is impossible.

     

    And BvS outside of top 10? That would require 11+ movies over 300M. You seriously think that is going to happen? Even adjusted for inflation, the most 300M movies in one year is 7. This year may be full of blockbusters but it's not going to rewrite history. 11 300M films is impossible.

    You do realize that adjusted for inflation and 3D all the Potter films are above 350M DOM. The box office landscape has changed a lot in the last 5-10 years. 350m seems extremely probable

  5. Normally I don't root for a film to fail....but this film was so bad on so many levels that this 70% drop makes me absolutely elated. WB delivered crap and people are rejecting it! Good for the public. Do better next time WB! But it's probably too late....this film left a bad taste in my mouth and I have no interest in seeing Justice League.

  6. 1 BILLION domestically is still possible but it's going to be a long slow crawl to that number. The Hunger Games which was a fairly leggy film had a 4.38x from its fourth weekend going foreword. Giving the same multiplier to TFA and assuming a 49M fourth weekend it would hit 985M domestically. That's an awful lot of money! But would miss an absolutely historic milestone if it ended there. I'm sure Disney will find a way to get this film to one billion....one thing Star Wars has in its favour is theater counts. Should remain in 3000+ for the rest of January...

  7. I really don't see how this could fail to hit 1b domestically. Even DH2 had a 3.86x from its third weekend going forward. Similar legs from this point on for TFA would get the film to 991m. Shouldn't be too difficult to push it past 1 billion. It's definitely not a lock at this point but i still think its VERY VERY likely....

    Current List in Canada.... I think

     

     

    SW7: 18,6 million (Biggest Single Day gross of 8 million)

    http://www.tribute.ca/news/index.php/star-wars-the-force-awakens-breaks-canadian-box-office-records/2015/12/21/

    TA: 15.6 million 

    JW: ????????????????

    AOU: 13.8 million

    DH2: 12.9 million

    TDKR ???? 

     

    Thanks for sharing this! It's so hard to find any data on Canadian box office anymore....

     

    And, that's a phenomenal OW. SW will probably finish with around 60-70M...right around ROTK. No way it tops Avatars 96M in Canada...

     

    I had no idea the biggest OW in Quebec prior to this weekend was The Da Vinci Code?? WTF.

    247M. Nothing will beat this for a very long long time...

     

     

    I said the same thing in 2007 when Spider-Man 3 made a mind boggling 151m. Then BAM! TDK came out out and topped it by 8m the following year. So it could happen. That's what makes the box office so much fun to follow haha
