Yup, both websites have their short-comings!
-
That's how the-numbers calculates it, but not BOM, and I must agree with BOM here. AS's $89M week-end was an opening, not 4th week-end. To count it as 4th week-end is cheating, because it wasn't a wide release, and undermines the real achievements here - huge movies having gargantuan 4th week-ends like Avatar, Titanic, and soon TFA.
-
They're not "new estimates" anymore though. These are actuals.
-
And it's Star Wars. Often enough, just name dropping it is enough to give it the small bump it needs.
-
Yep, and they should also add "Fastest to 550M, 600M, 650M" since there are now a few of them, include biggest week-ends (not openings), and include the records for most straight days at 10M, 20M, 30M.
-
I'm not sure if they're going to include it. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/byseason.htm?season=Winter&p=.htm Winter says "Winter Opening". TFA was clearly not opening. However, I don't see why they couldn't just create a new record category or something.
-
This week's drops are gonna be huge. Even Avatar couldn't get around that. The next week-end though, that's the real deal-maker or deal-breaker for $1B (although I still think that it's more than 50% probability for $1B) The question is, how huge will those drops be?
-
Was it also the case in 2009? If yes, I guess it won't make much of a difference.
-
Taking my post at face value too much, are you? This was more of a funny nod toward all the numbers TFA has been posting since the beginning of its run, namely... 248 OW 149 2nd W-E 49 M 2nd friday 496M 9-day gross Maybe I forgot a few. Now we got a 90M 3rd week-end. My inner OCD is happy!
-
Also, any of you guys know if it's gonna show up in January record on boxofficemojo? They seem to only keep track of Opening week-ends for the record, not subsequent week-ends. edit: the-numbers is listing TFA as #1 for January http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/records/Biggest-January-Weekend-at-the-Box-Office We're gonna have to wait for boxofficemojo to update their numbers.
-
RIP January record. For once, TFA actually reaches a milestone
-
Further below estimates. This movie can't catch a break
-
Indeed. Transformers grossed 1.1 billion in 2014 but all the other movies except The Hobbit weren't even close to $1B And then, 2015 happened.
-
I'd say Rogue One has a pretty good shot at $1B, seeing the success of Ep 7
-
Great post. I definitely didn't know that, thanks!
-
To be fair, I hope that the movie that beats Star Wars doesn't beat it like Jurassic World beat Avengers -- by 1 million. A movie opening to 249 million would be a pretty lame way to beat Star Wars. At least beat it properly! Like Batman beat Ghostbusters, The Lost World beat Batman, Spider-Man beat Harry Potter, Avengers beat Harry Potter, and so on - all by a pretty wide margin.
-
Movies can still claim opening week-end records in their respective months! I'd like to see a studio pull off an audacious September release, and score a 100+ opening week-end there.
-
If the actuals is 20M+, then TFA will have grossed more than $20M for 17 straight days. Of course, that's a record. And one that's probably not going to fall for a long while.
-
Sums up pretty much what I feel. We're living history guys. Let's enjoy it! Most people around us will only ever acknowledge this box office run once it's over, once the numbers are in. We're seeing them coming in, every day, firsthand. And they're amazing.
-
21.2 puts it ahead of American Sniper. I'm satisfied.
-
Also, apparently, according to boxofficemojo we're getting actuals for the whole holidays tomorrow. Like, December 24th up to now. Is that true? If yes, how much of a change can we expect? Also, what do we have now then if it's true? Partial actuals?
-
Yep, Disney estimates. We're still waiting on rth numbers for Sunday Don't get your hopes too high though, the last sunday of the holidays is usually huge-drop-land
-
So TFA is a monster hit in the UK and should pass Avatar this week, as well as all-time #1 Skyfall within a week or two. Most of the other markets are dominated heavily by Avatar, but Titanic's gross is within reach for most of them. The most out of reach are probably Avatar's grosses in Russia and South Korea. Unless they are suddenly holding very well? Japan is holding very well for TFA, and the country is known to be a slow burner so final results impossible to predict. -
It's not over, we've yet to see actuals and many of us here believe, me included, that Disney is lowballing it.
-
Sorry I extrapolated opinion from other sites as well. But I did get that vibe from here as well, lemme check... Apparently it originates from page 58. Anyway, maybe you didn't say it directly, but some of you sure as hell are hinting it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people defending the May release in here.
