I still can't believe that a movie might cross 1 B domestic.
In 10 days, its total will be around $860 million, barring unexpected drops. It might cross 900 by February 1st

So I just came back from my 3rd and final viewing.
Lots of people on reddit said the 3rd viewing was the best - I don't agree. 2nd definitely was. That's when the music just started clicking for me. It clicked very well on the 3rd, but there were some scenes I was like "can't wait for the best scenes" instead of being in the moment, like I was for the first 2 viewings.
Anyway, still was very well worth it. This movie is pretty good.
Personal note: This is why I go to the movies early, when they just come out. Crowd was indistinguishable from zombies. I went to the first showing, thursday Dec 17 and holy shit was the crowd hyped, it was incredible. Well worth the trouble of waiting in line.
On the topic of box office, I contributed $45 to the movie's total. Yay! Also, side comment, but the general populace really don't understand box office and how movies make their money.
edit: apparently reddit doesn't either, especially when they throw comments like " China will either help Star Wars destroy the worldwide record, or help it inch past it. It's really about how much China likes BB-8 " and get upvoted 600 times that you start questioning people's knowledge of box office.
Barring an absolute miracle, Avatar isn't yielding out the top spot. And its record is certainly not getting "destroyed" either, even if it does fall to a miracle gross in China.

This just shows how little even veteran insiders know about China. SW has a 2-day OW there, since it's opening on Saturday. With projections coming in around a 20m OD, $50m is a big stretch, and "up to 100m" is out of the question.
Also, they predict that TFA will finish its domestic run with 900-910 M
Which is, honestly, the absolute floor right now

Good chance Finding Dory will take over G.
I should have only quoted the Domestic/Adjusted/Worldwide part

Also, Titanic now has more records than Avatar.
Worldwide record is still much more valuable though
Avatar's 4th week-end record is in jeopardy too. It would drop to 4 records if it loses that record... same number as Jurassic World!

Trying to remember if ever a movie with a release of 4000+ had 'no change' going into it's 4th week...
Even Avatar was dropped out of some theaters - http://www.boxofficemojo.com/counts/chart/?yr=2010&wk=03&p=.htm

Concerning this week-end, one bad drop doesn't mean the end for the remainder of the run.
For example, ROTK dropped 50% on its 4th week-end Jan 10-11. On its subsequent week-ends? 28.1%, 33.6%, 21.7%, 19.2%, 2.5%, 31.9%, and 23.7%.
Might have something to do with oscar nominations
Wins aren't until late february so, no impact here.

Inflation-Adjusted Top 10 Movies Released Since 1977
Note: This chart is adjusted for inflation. The figures represent the total amount of money a movie has taken in domestically over its lifetime taking into account the cost of tickets.

IV: A New Hope $1,362,751,062 2 1997 Titanic $1,139,182,838 3 1982 ET: The Extra-Terrestrial $1,124,651,941 4 2009 Avatar $826,198,130 5 1980 Star Wars Ep.

Unreal. I think America likes Star Wars

TFA needs a $348M buffer over Jurassic World at the end of its run if it wants to reach $1 Billion.
Right now the buffer is at $244M. Can it somehow manage to extend its lead by $104M by April 2nd?
-
Monday I had Star Wars at 765 by Wednesday, so I guess I wasn't too far off. I had it at 820M on next Monday though, that might be a tad too high as a 48M week-end sounds more likely than a 50M one.

Ok, in 1997, there was no hacking for Titanic. But today, the entrance to the cinema to SW7 is near $ 10 on average for Titanic was $ 4.7
We in France, we do not understand you count in dollars.
In France, the box office is in attendance and Titanic is always first. If it was in dollars, it would be the fourth.That's why there's a domestic Adjusted list. It's not reliable though

No it's not.
You guys are misunderstanding my post. I said BOM is estimating the grosses way too much. It's there for historical purposes, that's all it should be.

The real ranking.
It's still grossly estimated by BOM, but yes, Adjusted is quite important to take into account.

And then our first $900 million domestic film later on, probably by Jan. 31

Man, for a movie series to now have five films in the top 20 adjusted list.... amazing.
And soon, 2 in the top 10!

Typical ~21% drop. Let's see what the week-end holds.

On that note, I really feel like the 3-day, 4-day, etc records are quite redundant with the "Fastest to ... x M" around. If a movie has the record for 6-day gross, you bet it also has the relevant "Fastest to ..." record as well!

Apparently Star Wars lost 1 record on BOM (went from 40 to 39), any idea which one it was?

BOM is giving TFA a projected 50M weekend. Hmm.
Watch out Avatar, SW is coming for more records to BREAK

This is why there's a good argument for looking at admissions as well as gross.
Not all countries report them so it's a pointless endeavor. That's the real problem.

Probably, I'm trying to find a good comparison for somewhere between TTT and Hobbit3 legs.
Hobbit 1 legs?

8 minutes ago, Punishment said:
TTT legs = $1.01b
ROTK legs = $1.05b
FOTR legs = $1.09b
Hobbit legs = $885m (for the pessimists)
A $6m Tuesday will drop the number to these respectively: $993m, $1.01b, $1.08b,and $887m. The graph is going fluctuate quite a bit or the next few days.
We have the tuesday actual, it's at $7,967,428
You mean Wednesday?
Wins aren't until late february so, no impact here.
