  1. Man, this is gonna be a fun ride. Sky’s the limit. Also, surprised to see that The Dark Knight hasn’t gotten any inclusions in the list of greatest BO performances this century.
  2. Here's a question - when's the last non-superhero movie that had this much buzz? Avatar? A Pixar movie? One of the Harry Potters? I might be missing something obvious. I'm thinking this could approach a 200m opening weekend. Three day.
  3. Whew. This is gonna explode. Barring anything unforeseen, I think 300+ is a virtual lock at this point.
  4. Man, my local suburban multiplex is JUMPING tonight. Northman, Bad Guys, Nic Cage, Dumbledore all sold out. I know it's purely anecdotal but I haven't seen this general level activity on a non-Marvel weekend since before the pandemic.
  5. 400 is dead in the water. This weekend it'll be lucky to get past 20m. Still, epic run.
  6. Any chance Wednesday stays relatively stable as more people are finishing up work for the year? Or are we thinking that TM:R is gonna take a bite?
  7. Whew, I haven't logged in to this site since The Last Jedi. Just checked in to say that it feels so good to have a epic BO run to follow once again. Still hoping Omicron doesn't drop the hammer on NWH's domestic run over the next week or two. I swear, if it reaches 750-800+ amidst all of this pandemic stuff, it's one of the more triumphant and impressive totals of all time. I'm rooting hard for this one.
  8. Was feeling nostalgic and looking back through TFA threads from December '15. The 1st Monday thread (40 million!) had about 70 pages. Obviously it was unreasonable to ever expect TLJ's run to be as exciting as TFA, but I can't help but miss all of that excitement. Hopefully solid Tuesday numbers and beyond can restore some buzz.
  9. 220 is an absolutely spectacular, best-case scenario number for TLJ. Extremely interested to see actual numbers for today and then Monday's hold. If we reach 35 million tomorrow, then this could reach 830-850.
  10. Has Spizzer released an estimated tickets sold update for TFA. Figure it's probably around 85 million, right?
  11. Today is my birthday. Looks like the box office gods decided to give me the gift of TFA becoming #1 all-time domestic! Quite a present!!!
  12. I'm not sure her tweet means anything??? Don't get me worried.
  13. Ha, yeah, seems like the regulars backing ME up. But it's cool.
  14. Except that it's not totally unlikely that, because TFA is what it is, we'll still get updates tonight. Maybe not, but maybe so.
  15. There's no way this drops to like 5 or 6 million, right? For some reason I see it being sort of likely. Anyways, I'm simply not seeing this reach 1B if it drops more than 50% this weekeend. Here's how I see things for the next little bit: 27 - Weekdays 40 - Weekend 21 27 19 (MLK Monday) 18 9 12 6 10 4 7 3 5 Plus another 10 million or so thereafter plus the MLK bounce. Which puts the final cume at $963.
  16. Today rth us with a vintage tease. When I say "vintage," I mean the type of teases he was handing out the first week of TFA.
  17. I feel like TFA's entire run has had the 1B monkey on its back. Once the expectation shifted from merely beating Avatar to the 1B milestone, the nature of everybody's reaction to the last two weeks of numbers has been a lot less celebratory and more disappointed in nature than it frickin should be. I'm guilty of this myself. Inevitable, I guess.
  18. What is the chance that there is a grassroots movement among SW diehards to keep buying tickets to push this thing over 1B if it looks like it might fall short? Cause it looks like it might.
  19. There's no way TFA grosses less than 90m this weekend. I see 34.4 -- 35.2 -- 23.6 = 93.2
  20. Very glad to see that TFA's Monday and Tuesday numbers have injected some life back into this place. The forum momentum kinda felt like it stalled last weekend (ridiculously, considering what TFA did). Hopefully we get another great hold today until we all start panicking tomorrow.
  21. This doesn't change my point at all, I'm afraid. If true, your statement merely means that most films experience somewhat deflated daily numbers at some point in their run. And that includes TFA.
