Ummm funny. For me Avatar had a bad story, a weak villain, and forgettable characters. Everyone has a different opinion
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.

That sat to sun is what's epic. Damn.
Sunday nearly matching Friday minus previews is the best sign of all to me.

Those figures for SW7 for the period after Xmas seem to be optimistic, as by then a large percentage of the viewing public, who would of wanted to see the film, would of done so by then. I realize there will be many repeat viewings, but at the same time, there are some other big films being released at Xmas as well.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what happens, and who knows SW7 could do something at the box office, that none of us have seen before.
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.

They were basically even at $63.5m for TFA and $63.45m for JW for Friday business. JW was very backloaded with only $18.5m in previews.
It was but JW was also released in summer when kids weren't in school. Almost all schools were still in session yesterday.

So if it's your first time watching the series. Is machete order the best ?
Absolutely. If you haven't watched them before I'd highly recommend that.

$300m OW is happening. It's going to do in 3 days what HBP and DH1 did in their entire runs.
I mean...it's beyond insane.
That is stunning and make no mistake that this record will stand for YEARS. Not even the sequels will do as much.
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.

After all the overheated hype on this site the preview number is a little surprising. I thought it would be a lot more based on the sellouts people were reporting.
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.-

DH2 seems like the obvious comp, especially as the previous Preview Record holder. The same ratio gets SW about $115m for Friday.
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.

Yikes. This movie looks remarkably bad.

I agree...this gravy train will have to take a new shape in time. Igers successor has work to do.
Ill take the job.
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.

if that happened, it would be outgrossing the original movie adjusted. that'd be insane.
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.

If GOTG hits 295m, watch Disney not give a shit and not push it to 300m. Just look at how they are dealing with TWS and the 260m milestone.
Disney only cares about their darling animated movies hitting certain milestones these days.
260 million isn't a milestone.

I've never really cared for anything by Liebsman
No one has. He is an absolutely horrendous director.

The design of the turtles definitely needs work,(Its sort of growing on me).. I dont think Bay and Speilberg
would pick a terrible director for a 150+M dollar tentpole Sosays.
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).

Hey now you didnt expect the reviews or Guardians to be so good now did you
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.

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.

Plus Cinderella, Ant-Man and two Pixar movies...
Tomorrowland has pretty big potential as well.

Because the Harry Potter films are such intelligent movies right? GTFO.You're*You've just proven my point. Avengers does indeed drop a person's IQ.
Star Wars Tuesday - 37.3M (Tele/baumer bet for Wednesday drop is on page 24...much to learn one of them still has)

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.
