Yep. The two movies opened at the same time and TFA had substantially more demand than JW. If they had both opened on Friday TFA clearly would have had the higher number, not even really debatable.

I think one of the most interesting things about the Avatar run is how little it actually entered the cultural lexicon. Basically every other all time monster hit (Jaws, Star Wars, ET, Titanic, etc.) has had lasting impact but Avatar just isn't a movie that gets talked about outside of its box office run and it really didn't develop a particularly fervorous fanbase.
-
Those numbers aren't happening because there is just no way a movie opening this big can follow Avatar type patterns. However, there really isn't anything big opening on Christmas this year. I don't think any of those movies will slow down the Star Wars train at all.

It was but JW was also released in summer when kids weren't in school. Almost all schools were still in session yesterday.

Yeah, there is almost no way the sequels can match this perfect storm of quality, hype, and nostalgia. You will probably have a Dark Knight Rises or Age of Ultron situation where the sequel still does absolutely massive numbers but it is seen as a disappointment because it didn't match a force of nature.

What the hell were you expecting this to do on Thursday? This obliterated every other Thursday night preview number before it and just the previews would rank in the top 20 days of all time.

I think that might be the floor though. DH2 had a much smaller audience than this film will have and few major franchises are as frontloaded as HP.

Zoolander 2 | February 12, 2016 | Teaser Trailer on Page 6!
SoSaysI replied to sakskidz's topic in Box Office Discussion
Yikes. This movie looks remarkably bad. -
The key long term for Star Wars is making movies that are not in the time period and not related to the main story line. If they keep he quality high and tell stories from other times and not involving the Skywalker family the universe is so expansive they will be fine. But so far all of the spinoffs they have announced haven't branched off that much (although Rogue One sounds awesome) which concerns me a bit. They will have to branch off to keep the money train rolling more than the next 10 years.

It's especially crazy since while it is a solid movie, it isn't great, not unique in any way and I don't see any reason why anyone would want to see it multiple times.
-
This is really bizarre. I wonder what the budget is for this.

260 million isn't a milestone.

Weekend Numbers (pg119) Turtles 65M, GOTG 41.5
SoSaysI replied to filmscholar's topic in Numbers and Data
No one has. He is an absolutely horrendous director. -
Hint: Take a look at the movies Bay has produced but not directed and there is nothing but garbage on the list (and Bay directs plenty of terrible movies himself).

The people involved in Guardians are infinitely more talented then those involved in TMNT. TMNT has horrible looking character designs, a garbage director who hasn't ever made a remotely interesting movie, and a produce who while he does well at the box office, pretty much only makes bad movies. It would be beyond stunning if the reviews for TMNT are any good.

Weekend Actuals 11/29-12/1 CF $74.2m Frz $67.4m

So assuming that Thor 2 passes World War Z Disney will likely finish with 5 of the top 12 movies this year domestically (obviously the Hobbit will pass $200 mil but I don't really see any of the other December films as very likely $200 mil films). Pretty good year even taking into account the epic bomb that was the Lone Ranger. -
Tomorrowland has pretty big potential as well.

Because the Harry Potter films are such intelligent movies right? GTFO.
