My grandma died on a 23rd of December so I know right well how it feels. Christmas will be very un-celebratory for them this year If she does get through this, however, it would be great news. Still a shit Christmas though.

I sense a deleting spree befalling this thread...

To hell with it, All big magazines should link to this website for predictions

Alright, let's try this! $130M 4-day huh? Starting with a 16.7M THU ... FRI: 25M (+50%) SAT: 16.25M (-35%) SUN: 37.4M (+130%) MON: 43M (+15%) $121.6M ...

" Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may end up taking in about $80M to $88M for the three-day weekend with a possible $130M for four day " It's not even funny at this point. Why are ALL the box office websites being dumb on this? NO WAY this hits $130M 4-day

"Rogue One: a projected Friday-Monday gross of more than $110 million " ------------- Hmm... I highly doubt it's going that far. Here's a somewhat regular projection. FRI: $23.4M (+40%) SAT: $14.1M (-40%) SUN: $28M (+100%) MON: $32.2M (+15%) $98M. Quite far off $110M SUN jump could be a bit bigger, Monday you never know I guess. I'd be curious to see their daily increases and drops Pretty certain they never made any

... That's the whole point of why it's impressive

No kidding, it won't end far behind Winter Soldier, which was 1. a sequel, 2. benefiting from the Post-Avengers effect that all phase 2 marvel sequels got, and 3. had Black Widow crossing over for added inter-connectivity. Disney should be pretty happy with Doctor Strange

This gif again!

+35% to +45% for Rogue One today would be considered a "standard" jump I guess. So.. what are the boundaries for... 1. ? 2. ? 3. ?

Rogue One:

Jesus guys, when I said as a joke that the low end for Rogue One this week-end was 50M... I didn't mean for real The GA are digging this movie, it's not dropping 68% suddenly on Christmas week-end with that kind of reception.

I guess we'll see this week-end whether those huge presales were only for OW or more spaced out.

MovieMan you can't just handpick the worst days from King Kong's run and say Rogue One will perform like that, and then completely ignore the other days and say the end multiplier will suck. If Rogue One follows King Kong it's gonna end up with a 4.36 multiplier. Of course I don't think it will reach a 4.36 multiplier, but if you select one particular week-end, or a set of weekdays, where King Kong underperformed for some reason, apply that to Rogue One, and then proceed to ignore the rest of the run... it just doesn't work that way Plus, you know, the whole King Kong is 11 years old so maybe its daily patterns don't apply to a 2016 movie anymore... kinda thing On that subject, I also recall last year lots of people (myself included) falling into the trap of comparing TFA dailies with LOTR dailies. LOTR is just too old, movies perform differently now.

Judging from the posts in this thread so far, the range for the 4-day week-end is about 50M - 100M Got it! 3-day, it's even better. A nice 1M - 75M range

Well, thing is, considering Rogue One is grossing really high numbers right now, I don't think it can display the huge % increases that smaller movies can. +40% FRI, -40% SAT, +100% SUN is where it is headed, I think, and depending on Thursday, that would result in about a $63-64M week-end. If it does increase like crazy though... confirmed

What is it with BOM and the-numbers and many websites predicting 70+ 3-day for Rogue One 2nd week-end? They're only setting themselves up for disappointment I think.

I read that as "4.95% of video games" and thought... wait that's so few of them wtf! ...

so about a 14.5% drop, not bad all things considered. Sure TFA didn't drop at all last year, but the week didn't play the same way, it was closer to Christmas. For reference, Sherlock Holmes 2 dropped 17% in 2011, so somewhat in the same range. @Grand Moff Tele what kind of drop did you have setup for Wed?
