Does anyone know IW’s final total WW multiplier if we add it’s China debut to its OW? I think that’s the multiplier we should be using to estimate EG’s trajectory.

two short term records that SW7 should take easily are the non holiday Monday and non opening tuesday

The great thing is that since July 4th falls on a Saturday this year, most people have Friday off. That three day weekend will be really beneficial for everyone's box office.

this is great! we don't even need anymore movies to over perform ahead of expectations in order to surpass summer 2013! some probably should though to cover Gravity (2013) for october.

does anyone know how Summer 2015 is doing compared to Summer 2013?

i might be totally wrong, but i want to make my first predictions on this forum! I'm seeing: 300 million - day 8 350 million - day 9 400 million - day 12 ill make a prediction for 450 and 500 after i see how well it holds this weekend. a wild guess would be 450 by day 16 and 500 by day 22

i really hope it holds up well enough today and tomorrow to cross 300 million on thursday

exact same thing happened to me! i saw alien and aliens when i was about 8 and was haunted by that entire franchise (including AvP) for years but i still loved it!

theaters in my area do it on thursday

JW's final total and box office patterns are going to be so hard to predict from here on out. there's no precedence for this type of box office performance. like titanic, avatar, and the dark knight before it this is going to take its own path (not the only movies to have unprecedented box office performances but they're the big ones we've all heard of) and leave us all in shock.

oh geez my bad! i got too excited there!

300 million in 5 days is a phenomenal pace. not too long ago 200 in 5 days was considered insane.

because batman. thats why.

i do agree that many families avoid opening weekend though. so maybe it'll play stronger with families this weekend, if they don't choose to see IO instead.

where is everyone seeing that it's playing like a family film? i thought its weekend broke down to 39% under 25. wouldnt that mean that even a smaller percentage were actually children?

i had a second viewing in IMAX and it was definitely A LOT better! and i already liked it standard format!

i actually really like Lost World edit: not better than JP obviously

in my area the last potter had showtimes thurday night/friday morning from 7pm to 3am

i think its going to happen in a few more months. it could happen in september with hotel transylvania 2, and its a lock to happen in november and december.

to comment on the "5 extra hours" debate; that's been a thing where i live since before TDKR. i remember the last harry potter had showtimes from 7pm up until 3am at the theater i went to. all of them were sold out.

hey guys, new here. I've been following the box office since avatar, and have visited this site on and off for a few years but i finally decided to join after this crazy weekend! I'm from SoCal (right outside LA) and every night this weekend i drove by one of the local theaters on my way to the gym and the theater was crazy packed! i even drove by after Game 5 last night and it looked the same as friday and saturday night! i saw the movie twice myself (opening night in standard and saturday night in IMAX 3D). these past few years have been a great time to be following the box office!
