Jumanji almost 2m more than TLJ. TLJ again dropped a lot from estimates.

New Year's Day Weekend Thread: Late Friday estimates (DHD) - TLJ 19.5M, Jumanji 17.5M, PP3 6.7M, TGS 5.3M The thread title has remained the same from 2017-2018.

Man what a total pasting failure by me. Sorry my bad. Post has been revised.

What a total failure year by Paramount.

@Lor San Tele

So the Sad Ben and Sad Depp emoticons were dismissed?

Tele's parents find out the son they are so proud of made this club Tele's wife finds out the guy she's spending the rest of the life with made this club Tele's friends find out the dude they think is the most far-sighted one in the group made this club Tele's son finds out the man he's looking up to made this club

This, and the Terminator 2 3D release over $100m club.

TPM 431m -> AOTC 302m = 29.9% drop TFA 936m -> TLJ 660m= 29.4% drop AOTC 302m -> ROTS 380m = 25.8% jump Using the same jump for SW9 would give it 830m.

An ok post except the delusion part! I'm a thinking man and have thinking man reasons for this. As of now posting on my phone I'm in no state to do a writeup in the Avatar thread. No one will respect my foresight if they percieve my predictions as blind delusions with no thought behind them other than JAMES CAMERON. Since your standard of "OK" is 2.78b to 3b, I take it as a huge compliment.

You see, although IronJimbo is a bit of a delusional fanboy, at least he plays the fair game here. You think he's harsh on TLJ's drop from TFA? He's 10 times harsher on the Avatar sequel! 2.78b to 3b is a fucking OK result! A fucking OK result!!!

I think admins should replace the "etc." in the thread title with "IronJimbo", considering the amount of the contribution IronJimbo did (for good or bad) to this fanboy-war thread. Notice that it's no longer "Franchise war"? Since it's "Fanboy war" now, it makes perfect sense that we honor one of the biggest fanboys on BOT and the biggest defending force of the Cameron-related subject which itself is one of the most popular topics on BOT.

Please don't use confusing language you'll lead new users astray. Avatar is the box office champion of the world, TFA is a regional champion. Hey at least it's still more humble than NFL's World Champion.

Box office was never about quality when my favorite movie didn't do well at boxoffice. Box office had a lot to do with quality when my favorite movie did well at boxoffice.

Wait, I remember yesterday the title said 28.2m for TLJ. Did it come under estimation yet again?

Netted myself 40+ likes from those two. LOTR gifs to get the most likes in a SW wknd. Does this mean LOTR is more quotable than SW?

I see these two gifs both got a ton of likes in that 4-day wknd thread.

TA1 623m -> TA2 459m a 26% drop With the same drop TLJ should finish 692m. And it looks like now it will certainly finish under that.

That entire plot that you are complaining about was all part of the risk. They could have used a safer plot or re-worked the same plot to play out in a safer way. I can't say much more because I don't want to get into spoilers, but those were part of the risks that were taken. This is really funny. Now I do wonder what is these pissed-off hardcore fans opinion on TFA. Is that a cheerful reboot, or a complete ANH-wannabe crap. (Yeah we know there's no middle ground for hardcore fans.) Their being pissed off would actually make sense if it was the latter.

I wonder when we will have the first $800m film.

Missing a 0 added for you What if it's A2 1000 ow / 400 DOM? Like it's so bad that over half the audience required a refund.

WTF? WHat happened to the $28,3m Friday?

Seriously, what business does Harry Potter have in this war?

Daily comparison of TFA vs RO vs TLJ TFA RO TLJ TLJ/RO TLJ/TFA $119,119,282 $71,094,394 $104,684,491 1.47 0.88 $68,294,204 $46,308,115 $63,993,205 1.38 0.94 $60,553,189 $37,679,172 $51,331,888 1.36 0.85 $40,109,742 $17,596,150 $21,556,373 1.23 0.54 $37,361,729 $17,582,978 $20,254,189 1.15 0.54 $38,022,183 $14,965,790 $16,889,863 1.13 0.44 $27,395,725 $16,773,075 $17,892,347 1.07 0.65 $49,325,663 $22,860,256 $28,300,000 1.24 0.57 The average TLJ/RO ratio so far is 1.25, which translates into $665m for TLJ. The average TLJ/TFA ratie so far is 0.68, which translates into $636m for TLJ. That looks like a good range for TLJ. BTW, the average RO/TFA ratio on the chart is 0.53 which gives $496m for RO. It's in line with RO having better multiplier than TFA.
