    Also, before anyone cries, these are honestly great numbers.

     

    Avatar held so well the first weekend partially because of a snowstorm that moved a lot of opening weekend business to Christmas weekend.  Star Wars is coming off an OW over 3x the size of Avatars.  Realistically, numbers can only get so big, especially with 5 new wide releases eating up showtimes.

     

    150-160m 2nd Weekend is better than all but the very highest of openers can do on their OW.  That also puts a 100m+ 3rd weekend in the cards.  That's huge.

     

    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...?

    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!

    Wednesday Star Wars TFA ACTUALS - 38,022,183

    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

    You mean... The Force Awakens would have pulled more in its first three weekdays than MJ2s OW? :ph34r:

     

    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.

    Welcome to the forum.  Hope you stay around after TFA's historic run ( too 1 Billion )

     

    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!) :D

    I have to say, how I have NEVER stumbled onto this forum before is pure enigma to me. I came here from reddit, and this forum looks awesome!

     

    Anyway, holy crap! This is a completely unreal hold. I'm the guy who said 230 M opening week-end was an audacious number, and I expected it to be below that.

     

    Now, what's happening right now exactly? I just... what the... is this even real?

     

    I've been following box office for years now, and I've never seen anything like this. So exciting, I can barely do anything meaningful during the day! Sure, I work... but yeah, mind's not on it. I hadn't even planned on seeing the movie more than once, but that's it now, I have to go back a 3rd time. Maybe even 4th. Be a part of history :P

     

    Whatever, pleased to meet y'all, greetings from Canada, and I'll be sure to stick around! This is completely insane.

    P.S. Small question, does anybody know the %female audience right now? If I recall correctly it was 70% male on premiere day, but it was shifting quite abruptly and now, I don't know what's the status on it? Anyway, gotta work on a proper avatar now...
