  1. Eh, it isn't breaking any records today and it isn't beating Avatar today. I don't think that tweet means anything.
  2. I think TFA's run has brought a number of trolls on board (just as I'm sure Avatar's run back in the day).
  3. No one thinks TFA is beating Avatar worldwide.
  4. Come one that's just flat out dumb. You aren't getting anywhere near these numbers with repeat viewings.
  5. Avatar owns the 3rd through 7th weekend records (well third weekend record it will own until Sunday). After that it is Titanic.
  6. ROTK doesn't work well for daily comparisons since New Years Day fell on Thursday that year.
  7. Those weekday drops would be way higher than basically anything dropped in 2009. And do you really expect its Friday and Saturday to be lower than yesterday?
  8. That is a lock. The only question at this point is whether it will cross a billion domestically.
  9. The Finest Hours comes out at the end of January and Zootopia at the beginning of March. The Jungle Book comes out in April but by then Star Wars won't be making any money.
  10. That isn't really how it played out in 2009 though when the dates lined up exactly how they did this year. Two movies in the top 10 increased on this coming weekend, 4 movies (including Avatar dropped by less than 10%), another movie dropped by only 15%, Alvin and the Chipmunks in its 2nd weekend of release dropped 28% and Sherlock Holmes also in its second weekend of release was the only movie in the top 10 to drop over 30%.
  11. Star Wars is operating with much bigger numbers so it is harder to look at past weekends for guidance but only Sherlock Holmes dropped above 33% on the same weekend back in 2009 and that was in its second weekend of release rather than 3rd.
  12. Agree. None of the movies totally work for various reasons but there is some redeeming parts in all three. I know most people focus on Jar Jar as a big negative (and he is) I still maintain by far and away the worst part of the prequel trilogy is the love story between Anakin and Padme. The dialogue in basically every scene between the two is horrid and there is zero chemistry there.
  13. If Avatar could get a nom this certainly has a chance considering its a better film and was better received by critics.
  14. And there you go. Not surprising at all that THR number was way off.
  15. People should at least wait for more legitimate numbers before starting with the doom and gloom. Do people not remember Saturday when TFA number went up over $10 mil from early estimates?
  16. I was thinking TFA vs. Jurassic World + AOU since those movies both came out this year and are top 10 all time in unadjusted box office would be a fun club.
  17. It has also outgrossed every movie released in 2014.
  18. So the highest non-opening Thursday is $29,094,472 by Transformers 2. That seems completely out of reach as it would if require a sub 25% drop but the impossible may be possible for this movie at this point.
  19. A lot of movies have opened on Wednesdays so there are a handful of Wednesdays bigger than TFA's Wednesday. However, this is by far and away the biggest non-opening Wednesday in history.
  20. Agreed. It just isn't possible for this to continue to perform like Avatar long term because it is just going through so much demand. I'm just hoping that its bigger drops come post January 3.
  21. It's possible but it will be tough. Transformers 2 made $29,094,472 on its second day of release so it will have to top that. Certainly possible with how it has held this week but that is a pretty high bar.
  22. Well they tried to set up the laughably stupid idea of weaponizing dinosaurs. That entire plot point of the movie was unfathomably stupid to the point it almost ruined that entire movie for me.
  23. I'm surprised this board puts up with this kind of garbage poster who is clearly a troll that only posts on one subject.
