So, TFA might break the third weekend record in two days if these estimates hold up? "The Force... It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together."

Getting ready to see TFA for the third time! Curious to see how much it makes this weekend. Can't believe $1b is being discussed; this box office run has been crazy. It's going to be awhile before we see this again.

That's great, DAR!

I have it at 1.08b using ROTK legs and 1.05b using TTT legs, but things can change quite a bit depending on the next few days. I love tracking this movie

Go crazy folks, go crazy

My wife watched The Matrix and Avengers twice in theaters with me and will probably watch TFA at least once more with me. She is amazing

I love watching the records fall one-by-one on boxoffice.mojo and the climb up the domestic leader-board. Gives me goosebumps

1) Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice 2) Star Trek Beyond 3) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 4) The Magnificent Seven 5) Captain America: Civil War 6) Now You See Me 2 7) Deadpool 8) X-Men: Apocalypse 9) The Divergent Series: Allegiant 10) The Hateful Eight

Cool, I haven't tried posting tables in the new forum format yet, so wasn't sure how they would look.

So, no actuals thread? I would be glad to start one

Just finished watching TFA a second time, this time in IMAX. I had to watch it a second time as my anticipation level was a little too high to give a fair review after my first viewing. I really enjoyed the movie an liked how JJ decided to basically reboot the series by following the script of ANH. I thought most all of the characters roles were very strong especially Rey, Finn, and Poe and was pleased with the action/special effects. I also liked Kylo Renn, but wished he would not have taken his helmet off until the next movie or at least his face-to-face meeting with Han. Looking forward to see how JJ proceeds with the next two movies. My complaints are only minor: I thought Rey was able to learn the force much too quickly and was a stretch to believe she could stand toe-to-toe with Kylo and even best him (I know he was injured, but still). Even though I did like the script mirroring and paying homage to ANH, I wished they would have come up with something different than blowing up another Death Star. The ending was a bit drawn out, but again only a minor complaint. I give it and A-/B+, just below the original trilogy for me and above ROTS. Fun times
