    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!

  3. 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

  8. Months ago, who would have thought that the all-time monday record (which is also a HOLIDAY monday) would be beaten not once but twice!

     

    Unreal. Ppl expected week-ends to be huge, especially opening, but those weekdays? They're almost on par with Avatar.

     

    edit: Woohoo! I was able to edit my post!

    I saw those last 3 at SXSW in March and I have no idea if they are even out yet, but they are great.

     

    Have you watched Inside Job? It's pretty good.
