Plus don’t forget that TGM had a 4th of July weekend boost. We won’t be at the equivalent stage of Avatar’s calendar for another couple of weeks.

Come on, we need something to entertain us. This college football game sure isn’t going to do it.

I would assume Ant Man would keep them since it’s the newer release and will probably sell more tickets. Although I could see some theaters that have multiple PLF screens splitting them between the two. One of my local AMCs has four PLF screens. Until last Friday, they were all showing Avatar. Now one of them is showing Megan. It will be interesting to see if any of the other new releases between now and Ant Man steel some of the PLF screens away…

I’m guessing the higher than expected number today will lead to a slightly sharper drop tomorrow due to it being a normal weekday. Will it lead to more meltdowns? Time will tell.

Without knowing the specific share agreement for the first couple of weeks that Disney had with exhibitors, I’d say that would be a good guess. $700 million sounds like an incredible number for a production budget until you account for the extended development cost of the film as well as the technology innovation costs, in addition to the actual production and marketing costs.

You do realize I’m was joking right…?

Don’t forget the potentially epic upcoming Cameron vs Cameron matchup when Titanic gets its wide rerelease just ahead of Valentine’s Day…

Plus, let’s not forget the Fourth of July provided TGM with a solid boost. We’re not to that point in A2s release life to know where it will be in comparison at that point either.

This tends to happen when you release a “final chapter” that probably 3/4 of the fan base hates, plus release it in Peacock day and date…

The KC v. Raiders game will have much larger implications for the first round bye. The way the general public rallied around Hamlin after the events of Monday night may lead to more interest in this game than a typical standalone game since the outcome directly affects his team. Again, not saying it would be a big impact, but it’s definitely going to be a little more than normal.

While there isnt NFL Playoff action today, don’t forget there are two NFL games that have massive playoff implications that will be played this afternoon. Not saying that will have a huge impact, but saying that the NFL games won’t have any impact at all won’t be the case either…

I’ve read that Blumhouse filmed all the gore, but it was all trimmed to attain a PG-13. I have fingers crossed for a blu-ray/4K release that has the kills restored. With that said, I haven’t seen it yet. I plan on it either tonight or tomorrow, weather pending…

The NFL flexed these games to Saturday after the games finished up on Sunday. The big draw about the Chiefs game is that it will probably determine who gets the #1 seed in the AFC now that the NFL decided not to make up the Bills v. Bengals game from Monday night.

I hate to break it to you, but there will be two NFL games this Saturday. Chiefs v. Raiders and Titans v. Jaguars…

Since Wednesdays normally see a drop, this probably will to. How much will depend on how many people want to go see it on the day it claims the crown.

I can't speak for how much of a demand the college football bowl games will have. Around here, they aren't getting a lot of attention. That is probably because none of the local teams made a decent bowl game. I think TFA will beat American Sniper's January weekend record from last year. I also don't think it will have a problem beating Avatar's New Year's day record. I could be wrong, especially on the weekend side. I see something in the neighborhood of $23 million today. There are enough people I know that are going to see Star Wars that have no interest in the football games that I can't see it dropping a lot below that.

Especially when the flooding is at historic levels, beating the record crests from The Great Flood of '93. I'm not saying the weather is affecting the box office one way or the other. I'm just saying this isn't your average flooding. Also, solid number for a second Tuesday.

33 is a great number and a strong hold. It will be interesting to see how well the holds will be for the remaining weekdays. If I were to guess, the rest of the week will be fairly solid and we'll be looking at a number somewhere around $650 million before we go into the weekend.

Even if Sunday comes in less than estimated this was still a huge weekend for Star Wars. It isn't every movie that can say it has the all time weekend record, and depending on actuals, a second in or near the top 10 weekends of all time.

1. Rogue One $520 million 2. Finding Dory $500 million 3. Batman V Superman $475 million 4. Captain America $380 million 5.X-Men $350 million 6. Independence Day $325 million 7. Fantastic Beasts $275 million 8. Alice 2 $250 milion 9. Jungle Book $225 million 10. Kung Fu Panda $180 million

Agreed. I have enjoyed this just as I enjoyed Avatar's run, and Jurasic World's, and the Avenger's. Whether you like each of the movies or not, we ought to be glad that these movies are bringing people into the theater. Especially since movie attendance isn't what it used to be.

Agreed. I know I remember following several movies' theatrical runs and the few that did hit $500 million, it seems like it took forever for them to get there. BTW, this is my first post. I have enjoyed visiting the forums, and following the box office here for quite a while. Finally I decided to join.
