Christmas Numbers: Unbroken 15.59, ITW 15.1, BOFTA 13.1, NATM 7.35 (official estimates) | full BOM list on p22

[AJG]

Those numbers for Unbroken are insane.

 

America was eager of Patriotism. Expect American Sniper to be a huge hit as well.

At this rate Captain America 3 will be huge.

[peludo]

What a weird week. We shouldn't expect good increases on Friday, i guess. (for BOFA)

Could we even see a drop Thu-Fri? just question

Everything is possible.

[Asyulus]

800M os is not impossible, though it's far from likely. There's still a chance 

 

 

Finale effect is usually pretty strong OS.

Let's hope so! If you are correct, then let Michael Bay cry again and slam is head into the table.

Such lovely numbers

That's really great for American Sniper! Good for Selmas as well

Top 10 67.5m, last year 67.2m.

Unbroken, Into the Woods and Hobbit are gonna have massive 4 day totals. 

[Donald]

How many hrs till actual numbers?

[keysersoze123]

hobbit 3 had horrible OD minus previews. After that it has had a solid run and is definitely beating DOS. In fact 270m+ is happening unless it falls off the cliff which is unlikely.

[pepsa]

If Rth said the number is over 13M for BotFA than I hope it get closer to 13.5-14M. Than it would be totaly crazy

[rockNrollaDIM]

This is better than even my high end expectations (38m 4day).

I dunno, the same way some of us were too hasty proclaiming doom & gloom early on, we shouldn't read too much into one day, maybe it drops on Friday.

Bias and self-contradiction are like the cornerstones of humanity.

I think this shall be my new sig.

Weeks prior to its opening, faith-based film marketers told Deadline that Unbroken was clicking with Christian audiences in a way that Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings was not, giving high praise for Jolie’s finesse in portraying Louis Zamperini’s spiritual stamina.

Redeem us, Dame!

I don't think I will ever understand why Christmas Day is always so big. I mean who goes to the freaking cinema on Xmas?! I thought you're meant to be with your family and all that.

They go to the cinema.... with family! Killing - as it were - two birds with one stone.

Yeah, I guess. Though I have literally never known anyone in my entire life to go to the cinema on Christmas Day. Not once...

Great numbers all around. Christmas will forever remain a box office heavy day!
