Im glad to see Jurassic world fall

It was a GREAT film but it did not deserve to TOUCH the (first) avengers

Soon that misstep in our society will be a distant memory and...well....im glad

To a much .more deserving film

That's your opinion. JW was an amazing film. Don't get the hate it's receiving. It deserved every last dollar it got. It's possible to like JW, TA,  Avatar, and TFA at the same time.

Yeah... Avatar be going down (domestically of course WW will still stand strong when all is said and done)

I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but this movie doesn't deserve to beat Avatar. Unlike Star Wars, Avatar was built on pure word of mouth, almost no hype upon release. TFA is from a  franchise continuing from a 40 year legacy, hype was inevitable. What Avatar did is to be respected in my opinion.

Hi there Scott Mendelson from Forbes, and welcome to the forums, you could learn a lot if you stick around here. For one thing, as others have already pointed out, the Sunday number (lets say 59 for now) compared to the Friday (Friday proper of 63) and Saturday numbers is fantastic. A great hold. Expect demand to continue to remain strong for the next few weeks. We got an article last week stating that Christmas Day was the 3rd best day for presales, behind only Thursday night and Friday, so expect Star Wars to put up crazy numbers for the rest of the year.

Lol Thank you. Been lurking these forums for a while. As far as numbers go, we'll have to see how weather and Christmas takes effect.

Hate to be a killjoy, but some of your estimations are incredibly unrealistic. You're forgetting that this movie had an abnormal opening weekend built on hype. The preview opening and first day gross compared to sat and Sunday are proof of this. Demand is burnt more than you guys think. You can't just use a regular multiplier for that kind of weekend. I say this slows down and ends at 650.
