The Hateful Eight powers on with $0.45m from only 6 theaters.
-
The Revenant will easily be #1 with roughly $3.5m, Goosbumps and Star Wars should both be roughly $3m and The 5th Wave at $2.2m.

Star wars basically did the same numbers for Friday, so $1.1m for a $2.3m week to date total. Going to struggle to get much over $5.5m for the weekend.

Thursday Numbers
Star Wars $1.15m
The Revenant $930k
Sisters $810k
Daddy's Home $680k
Star Wars average ticket price in Melbourne at least is significantly higher then Avatars due to the significantly larger share of premium tickets sold.
Avatar got an average ticket price of $15.4 circuit wide for us, while Star Wars on my circuit is currently at $18.8 ATP.

Opposite in Melbourne, we've been pretty down on numbers with all the lovely mid to high 20's sunny days..
Didn't get a chance to look at the numbers, but we'll get the full week results tomorrow anyway.
-
$2.5m Saturday for a WTD total of $6.7m. I'd expect around $2.3m for today for a $9m weekend.
-
I think it'll drop well over the rest of the summer holidays as it'll still have a good screen count.
With a 3x multiplier from a $9m weekend that's another $21m after it's on $70m. So $90 is the absolute floor, with a good chance of $100m if it can get a 4x from this weekend.
-
NY Day was only $2.3m for Star Wars for a WTD total of $4.2m.
From the busyness at my site we're looking around around a $2.7m total for Saturday. I would think Sunday wouldn't drop too much, so a $9.5m weekend roughly..

Bad weather usually drives business in Germany though. It's the good weather you need to fear
Might be one of the reasons why German cinema has struggled a bit over the recent past. Hollywood throws out most of its big stuff in the summer-time, which is contrary to the movie-going ways of Germans, who prefer the winter, where your options to do other things are a bit limited. Nothing kills the market more efficiently (apart from a certain World Cup) than a big summer heatwave.
'Heatwave'
It's similar here, though we get both extremes. The rain brings people in, but our 40-45C spells also drive people in for the air conditioning.
This week in Melbourne is basically continuous mid 20C's, the worst weather for cinemas here.

Hangover? In my observation ppl who partied with alcohol.... need sometimes 1/2 day till fit for out of the house again. Depending on how much and which kind of mix (
) they did
The mornings are always very quiet, but even the rest of the day is pretty dead. Admittedly last year was a high 30C's day.. We'll see how it goes.
Thur $1.8-9m
Fri $2.7m
Sat $4m
Sun $3.5m
Maybe something like that? $12m weekend?

$1.8m for Star Wars on NYE. Victoria leading the way again with it's more liberal opening hours with over 35% coming from there.
Today is looking surprisingly quiet. I hope it's not a national trend because I'd struggle to see how it could make more then $2.5m with my sites numbers.

Wednesday was $2.9m for a week total of $22.4m and a complete total of $60.95m.
If today can get around the same (it's looking like it), then the Monday-Thursday of SW's second week would be in the top 10 OW

$3.4m for Tuesday.
If my site represents nationwide it'll be about $2.7m for Wednesday. Either way it'll be $60m today!

Sorry maybe I miss something but should we expect the third weekend to be bigger than the second even though the second weekend includes a boxing day???
Boxing day is the biggest day nation wide for the summer, but it's not significantly bigger than the other days after it. However the Australian w/e includes Thursday and Friday and as Christmas Eve/Day are a very slow movie period, the boxing day increase is far outweighed.
Most films stay pretty flat or only slightly increase/decrease between the boxing day weekend and New year's weekend. With the way Christmas falls this year it's pretty much guaranteed to increase next weekend with roughly $3m-$4m each day.

Tuesday alone could be flirting with $4m depending on how the afternoon and evening go.
-
Also Daddy's Home reached $1.3m for Monday for a $4.2m total.
Good Dinosaur got $1.0m for a $3m total.
Alvin got $0.8m for a $2.4m total.
Joy got $0.6m for a $2.05m total.

'Insiders' have a bias. Hollywood will never admit its output is stale and lacking quality, and it will also never admit that piracy has very little to no effect on first run BO performance. It hypes piracy and competition in a bid to deflect from the first point.
You do realize that your ticket sales point makes Star Wars numbers even more impressive?
The fact that it is selling the same amount of tickets as the biggest films in the 90's and some of the largest ones in the 70's and 80's is astounding. Especially considering as you've said that ticket sales aren't as they used to be.

Actually what it means is that movie studios are no longer the media power they once were. Apple and Google are now more powerful. Its even more true of the record industry, whos sales are also lower.
See this is correct.
But based on how well films are doing in general, Star Wars is actually doing better considering it's film environment than films in the past.
With a smaller market now, it's even more impressive it's reaching the ticket sales of the 1970/80's.

Id love a link to a watchable copy of TFA please...
In reality leaks of watchable copys of any movie during the cinema release is pretty rare. This time of year is the worse for it and this year is one of the worst ever, but there is still no TFA leak.
Back then if you had mild interest, the only way to see it was in theatres. While most people are seeing it in theatres now, there is the option to wait a few months to watch it at home if you're not that keen.
If you start looking at population, you also need to start looking at the purchasing power of that population. There is a higher percentage of people who are on minimum wage now then in the past, which reduces for pool size of people who have disposable incomes. Also there is a significantly aging population which would also impact on tickets per person.
You can't just take one factor like population and then ignore the rest.

Correct, I should be seeing it at The Astor on Wednesday hopefully! It'll be interesting to see the drop that The Revenant has against it this weekend. But it's going to be a long weekend with Australia Day on Tuesday this year.
