    1. Avatar is better in 2D than 3D.

     

    2. The Walk

     

    3. Dunno why I'm replying to a troll

    Avatar's 3D is absolutely amazing, I know the movie has a weak plot, and mediocre acting, but that 3D the stunning visuals that is how the movie made its $760m.  Avatar made people actually want to watch 3D movies. 

  2. *Just math*

    Mathematically following RotK I got 3 numbers for the weekend to hit $1B

    41.5 with RotK's weekend/weekday ratio for next week

    41.25 with this weeks weekend/weekday ratio for TFA

    40.2 TFA's ratio*nextWeekRotKRatio/thisWeekRotKRatio

    with such a sudden drop however there would be no way it jumped right back on track with RotK

  3. I will be a lot more confident about $1B with a small drop today and a $50 fourth weekend.   That Wednesday drop was slightly harsher than RotK's M-W, though on track or slightly ahead of the Sunday-W drop.  A 3% drop would put it back on track, M-R whereas steeper than 8.5% would start to put $1B in jeopardy.  If this turns out to have a much better Friday, and is more of a weekend movie than RotK then my panic over W is all pointless

  4. Following RotK's weekly drops, with the 3rd week's W and R approximated by M-W and M-R drops,

    $118.7m third week

    $51.1m fourth weekend (could be a little high)

    $61.1m fourth week (with a $51.1m fourth weekend I highly doubt it'd be this low)

     

    $1.031B

     

    Before this past weekend RotK drops week to week gave a third week of $103m (already at $106m with an $8m T number), and a final of $981m

    So expect a bigger drop on Wednesday, should be somewhere in the 6.0-6.5 range. Maybe even the high 5's if there is a really bad storm that prevents some parts of the country from going out.

    The storms in So Cal shouldn't hurt the box office to bad, it is supposed to be similar to today's storm or a little weaker, so other than some extra car crashes, nothing too serious (except in the mountains) I could see people heading to the shows for something to do indoors.

     

    It should be over 50 million, if Wednesday is around $6.5m.  It looks probable but Wednesday numbers would make me more confident.

  6. I looked at the weekly drops if it follows RotK.  I am hesitant to say that $1B is locked especially having not seen the movie yet (last 3 times I tried it was sold out trying again Tuesday), but based on numbers alone and the past patterns I see no reason for this to drop harsher than RotK at least until oscar season. Underlined are actuals

    $291,504
    $114,270
     

     

    $982,795,468 final.  The third week will be better than this formula shows, but weaker oscar weeks should counter act that (unless it crashes and only makes $13m for the next weeks weekdays), this projection also puts it at $876m on Jan, 28.  We could be looking at $900m before the start of February.

     

    Same model with 3rd week estimated based on $90m 3rd weekend, $21m Sunday and ROTK's daily drops gives $1.013B

    I think that's a weird way of doing it. Rather, taking the week-to-week decline / daily pattern of ROTK:

     

    $25m (mon-thu) + $45m (fri-sun)

     

    Still believe TFA will do a little bit better than that.

    These numbers will probably be closer to the actuals.  My method is more of tracking a realistic minimum for the film and the numbers to hit that minimum ($966m).

  8. If TFA does follow RotK it would make $56.13m on the week of Jan 4-Jan 10 with a $5.7m Monday, and a $36.4m weekend*

     

    I think TFA will be much higher then those numbers, putting it on a path to $1B+ potentially threatening Jaws adjusted.

     

    * These calculations were based on the day, week, and weekends percentage of gross to date

  9. Return of the King drop percentages are the numbers to watch from this point forward.  TFA must percentage wise drop slightly better than RotK to get to $1B.  After this weekend TFA will be at about $744m (assuming a 33% Sunday drop)

     

    At this point RotK was at $290.4, or 77% of its total, this would give TFA $966m 

    This is comparing the total at the end of the third weekend to the final total for both movies, the end of RotK's 3rd weekend was 2 more days into its run, and I think the $966m represents a good floor for this films gross.

  10. Assuming Friday = Saturday and Sunday = Friday*.7

    Friday/Weekend

    If it is flat Monday to Friday: 31.36m/84.67m (like ROTK, though that had New Years day on Thursday)

    If it has half of Avitar's (numeric) Monday to Friday increase: 34.36m/92.77

    If it has Avitar's (numeric) Monday to Friday increase: 37.36m/100.87m

    If it has half of Avitar's (percentage) Monday to Friday increase: 36.09m/97.4m

    If it has Avitar's (percentage) Monday to Friday increase: 40.8m/110.2m 

    37.04m is needed on Friday to reach 100m

     

    I think with how this movie has been going we are looking at a $99.8m 3rd weekend, which Disney will not fudge to $100m

  11. The Force Awakens has lost a little ground on Avatar compared to Monday where if it followed it would have hit $1.894B

    If it follows Avatar with the Monday-Wednesday numbers multiplier it will hit $1.836B

    If it follows Avatar with just the Wednesday numbers multiplier it will hit it is at $1.8057

     

    Unfortunately the holidays messed with ROTK and Hobbit 3 comps.  To be leggier than those for Christmas Eve, TFA needs a 39.5% and a 38.6% drop respectively.  If it can out leg ROTK it will likely break $1B

    Yup, Disney got a steal at 2 billion, Lucas sold way way too cheap, forgetting merchandise which alone was probably worth 2 billion.

     

    I think Lucas film and all the rights to merchandise was worth double the 2 billion he got.

     

    The next 6 movies will at the minimum gross 9 billion worldwide over the next 6 years, add merchandise, theme park, it's mind boggling.

    It was actually $4.05B still an amazing deal for Disney. They ended up getting Pixar, Lucas Films, and Marvel for under $15B
