    Don't see how this is relavent considering Titanic made only 110mil in December, it made more in Jan and Feb and 90-100 mil in March.

     

    Titanic, the movie best known for its legendary holds and breaking all sorts of records, is irrelevant when talking about another movie breaking all kinds of records and that's also having great holds?

     

    Right.

    That's following Avatar drops and increases. My original prediction has a 90%+ jump on Friday, but who knows. 

     

    Not really. Avatar dropped 6% on Tuesday, not 11%. It also increased 1% on Wednesday, not dropped 5%. And it dropped 20% on Thurs, not 25%.

     

    Not that I expect SW to follow Avatar, just saying that you didn't, in fact, follow Avatar's drops.

    It has up to now, who says it will continue that way? I didn't forget the holds have been impressive to date but thanks anyways. Now that it is tracking closer to ROTK after outperforming it means the holds are worsening in a relative comparison FYI.

     

    So, shoot your predictions then? I'm pulling out all those numbers, as are everyone, but you're just sitting there denying everything and claiming everyone is wrong.

     

    So, be my guest. :)

    The 2nd Sunday-Monday drop is very similar to ROTK, not sure if you actually looked.

     

    It's shaping up to look like ROTK more and more, which is the whole point of my post...?

     

    I'm trying to predict final results here, which is why I based myself on ROTK. I might have went overboard a bit with the "not a single day" part, but apart from 1 or 2 days, it's still overwhelmingly true.

     

    The mere fact that a movie with those numbers has legs superior to ROTK is ridiculous, you seem to forget that at every turn though.

    It isn't perfect, but Avatar is by far the best comparison to TFA's legs.  Not even LOTR had the same kind of holds TFA is enjoying.

     

    So no, no one's going to stop comparing the two, because it wouldn't make sense to.

     

    Indeed. Taking Return of the King for example, after its New-Year's Week-end (Jan 4), it was sitting at $290M, which is 77% of its total domestic gross.

     

    Transposing that to Star Wars, we get ~730/0.77 = ~$950M. It might even be more if Star Wars ends up at 740 or 750 on Jan 3

     

    And honestly, Star Wars hasn't had drops comparable to ROTK in a single day so far, so... $950M is the floor I think. Or at the very least 900

     

    What do you guys think?

    Conservative numbers should be 635m by thursday and 700m by sunday domestic? Overtaking avatar on thursday or friday next week?

     

    That's being insanely conservative, with a $65 M week-end and insane week day drops.

     

    I would say Star Wars has virtually no chance of dropping more than 50% next week-end, not with its current word of mouth, so a $75M week-end is the floor I think.

    Work, school starting again>weather on how it affects drops.

     

    Indeed, the sunday drop on Jan 3 is gonna be vicious

     

    Like in 2009 for instance: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2010-01-03&track=avatar.htm

     

    -40 to 50% all across the board, except Avatar of course.

     

    Anything above 40% for Star Wars would be hugely incredible, if not downright impossible.

     

    But that's Sunday though, there's still Friday and Saturday which can surprise!

  9. Disney’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens is continuing on its phenomenal trajectory as audiences on Monday just added another estimated $31.5M to bring the sci-fi franchise up to a gross of about $572.6M on its way to $600M in the next 48 hours or so.

    Yep, that's why I keep reminding posters to enjoy the ride. We may never see anything like this ever again. :D 

     

    Well, to be fair, we're never going to see a run that's exactly like this ever again :P

     

    Each of the record-breakers had runs that were different from the others. Which makes them all the more exciting. 

     

    Except Jurassic World and Avengers though, they had pretty similar runs. That's why I love this run by Star Wars so much.

    The weekend was affected as well.  Without the bad weather Saturday and Sunday would have been 3m bigger each, at least.

     

    I think Tuesday will be a slight increase and Wednesday could go either way.  I think this weekend will have a much stronger hold than last weekend because of no weather and no previews.

     

    Well, 28,1% drop, I can dream right?

     

    Puts it just above Jurassic World's 2nd week-end

     

    Back in 2009, Alvin and the Chipmunks managed to hold 28% on NY's week-end. Force Awakens can do it! 

     

    Here's a dose of my positive energy!

    tuesday is not going to drop that much. it's gonna stay even or increase a bit. and Thursday is not going to decrease that much. It might decrease about 25%

     

    I went with a conservative approach, which was basically Avatar with slightly more drop (-9% vs -6% TUE, 0 vs +1.8% WED, and -33% vs -20% THU)

     

    :P
