Theater was an absolute monster today. I had to park in the streets -- the cinema parking lot was full, as well as the adjacent Wal-Mart and restaurant lots. ... Who dares set foot in such a hellish landscape, where every inch is covered with the molten remnants of countless footsteps?

I didn't realize that but Rogue One blasted past 2x multiplier on Monday... and will fly past 3x multiplier sometimes near the end of next week ... "December will never open big!" - Most people, 1 year and a half ago

Bought my tickets for round 2 Thursday at 7:40 PM May the force be with us

One can dream. Makes following the numbers just that more exciting, doesn't it?

Well, if you take the average week-end to week-end "drop" in 2011 from Dec week-end to New Years week-end... The average "drop" is +20% So a 20% increase. The average for the top 10 is even bigger, it's actually a 39.37% increase. Top 5? 28.12% Now Rogue One is coming out of bigger numbers, so it should fall harder. Normally. But, technically, Rogue One definitely has a chance at increasing from its Christmas week-end to its New Years week-end. And if it increases even by only 10%... 3rd week-end gross -- 64M * 1.1 = $70.4M #2 all-time 3rd week-ends

450M after 18 days So much for under 450

... Can it get to #2?

Especially when you consider that it's a goddamn SPIN-OFF

Indeed. We might see unusually smaller drops now for the rest of the week. A normal 25-30% drop would result in 22-24M for Tuesday. I think it might reach 25M. Maybe more.

Jesus Christ, I'm so fucking rooting for Episode VIII now This is gonna be like my superbowl 50 I'll be an emotional trainwreck at the end of the movie. I dare anyone to try and stop me from being there opening night

Carrie Fisher had an interview with rolling Stone lately and the interviewer asked her "do you fear death?" ...

I think this is the first celebrity death this year that hit me for real. Most were musicians, we can enjoy their music still and they weren't making more, but Carrie was still very much active, and so not only did we lose someone incredible today, we lost some of their work as well. Other which hit me hard recently was James Horner. Imagine all the incredible music we lost when he died 20 years too early

Star Wars: Episode VIII is going to be the last movie appearance of Carrie Fisher. I'll be fucking damned

Yes

Nooooo Carrie I was so looking forward to EP viii, now its gonna be bittersweet in a way, when it arrives

*sigh* Like

A 12 years old going to the theater by himself is an event

It's because of the upvote-downvote system I believe. People think that lots of upvotes on reddit = right, but that's simply not true. Lots of users in there also throw downvotes that are unjustified so it quickly becomes a shitshow. I like forum systems better for discussing, there aren't downvotes around, which I think discourage meaningful discussion. Take @Christmas Baumer for example. He'd probably get downvoted to hell and back for saying he likes twilight on r/boxoffice Here, he is safe Mostly

32M$??!!! And to think ppl on reddit said this movie was gonna be front-loaded. The whole week's gonna be a monster!

Wrong Gandalf, Harry. The death star was made by Tony Stark, it can't crash

Rogue One vs the world

So if those estimates hold, Rogue One would have the 2nd highest Monday ever, behind TFA They won't
