Real question is, what's gonna happen this week and next week-end? 200+ total? more? less?

I wanna say the weather but looks like, as others said, it just couldn't keep following Avatar's drops (avatar dropped 14,2% 2nd Sunday from Saturday). Looks like we're headed for -22%, around that. We'll see on Monday! It's still early though

So, what would you say are the odds that we're getting a 3rd week-end that's higher than Jurassic's 2nd week-end?

I can't find it on their website, where did you take that from?

To all those doubting $900M+, here's the deal: The 2nd Week-end of the latest big blockbusters, Jurassic World and Avengers (1st one), had their second week-ends = ~15.6% of their total gross (In fact, no movie with a second week-end greater than 60 M had a total gross of more than 20% of their second week-end) So, applying those numbers to Star Wars we get $153,522,000 / 0.156 = $984,115,384 And that's assuming Star Wars follows Jurassic World and Avengers. It's much more hyped up than them, at least I think, but that's for another day... source: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/moreweekends.htm?page=2&p=.htm Let's calculate Star Wars's total with Avatar's second week-end-to-total ratio, for fun. 153,522,000 / 0.101 = 1,520,019,802 Avatar is ridiculous.

I guess we'll see when actuals come in.

2 % of 56M is 1M, which brings it really close to 58M (57.5M). Also, Disney is low-balling their estimates quite often, this wouldn't be the first time.

For any other week-end that would be true, but not for holidays. BoxOfficeMojo also says not to expect actuals until Jan. 4th ( http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4137&p=.htm )

None of the numbers from December 24th and onward are actuals right now. Because of holidays.

$133,3M? Isn't that a huge drop internationally? Christmas must mean closed theaters pretty much all around the world!

Indeed, $58-59 M is still the 5th best Saturday gross in history (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/f-th.htm?page=Sat&p=.htm) In fact, if 58-59 M holds up, SW7's gonna have 2 of the 5 biggest Saturday grosses ever. Ironically enough, I still can't understand why Iron Man 3's saturday number was 6M above Age of Ultron...?

pls my aunt is dying, only a 60+ number can save her

I don't even I'll take it

For real, I have no idea what happened? Are these good numbers or bad? I don't get it

Btw, once star wars 7 finishes its run, it's looking at having 41 records on boxofficemojo, and that's without any foreign ones, and christmas eve which isn't considered a record either. Jurassic world loses all but 4, and avatar is looking at conceding 3-4 most likely 4 Edit: 5 if worldwide goes to SW7 Dayum!

Well boys, we're getting better drops than Avatar now. (Am I actually saying this?) I'll see myself out for a crazy day tomorrow.

I'm like, ready to explode at any moment.

~ Patiently waiting them numbers Following box office has never been so exciting!

178 Million second week-end, who would have thought... bwahahaha, this is so absurd!

In only 6 days, Force Awakens has already grossed more worldwide than X-Men: Days of Future Past, which I loved btw but ... this is insane!

So the international drop between Tuesday and Wednesday was -7.55% (41.3M / 38.4M) source: https://twitter.com/giteshpandya From Monday to Tuesday it was -1%. Still, pretty good holds, but I don't think these are Avatar-level holds for the Foreign box office! Really hard to compare though, we don't have such numbers available for Avatar. edit: It's opening in Greece today (Dec 24), so expect a softer drop. Cyprus, India and Pakistan open on December 25

I think they had a problem.

And pull in a ~380 Mil opening week as well, which is... more than Return of the King's whole theatrical run! edit: and to stay in Hunger Games territory, a lot more than MJ1's whole theatrical run.

Thanks! I will... I have to make sure that no Superhero movie beats it, and I have to be there when Ep.8 smashes the opening week-end record (but not total domestic run!)
