I guess what you mean is that Titanic is overrated and didn't its success, but you do acknowledge the impressiveness of its accomplishment. About the 11 wins, I don't really think they had much of an impact. Titanic had already made so much money by then that they probably added 2% at best to its final gross. According to Box Office guru, Titanic actually had one of its steepest drop that week: http://www.boxofficeguru.com/033098.htm I mean, LOTR also swept 11 oscars but that wasn't enough for it to have the monstruous legs of Titanic. I think those oscars can only make a significant difference to medium sized hits. Anyway, I see your point. But then, that leads to the question, what do you think deserved to have a run like Titanic? Looking at the run, maybe you are right and the Oscars did not have so much impact. I see that biggest increase was after nominations, but that weekend was the same that San Valentine's and President Day, so maybe there was not so much impact. Anyway, the image of Cameron screaming "I am the king of the world" is so iconical as the film itself. It had to help for sure. Relative to what film deserves a kind of run like Titanic's, I have to answer that maybe none. We live in an era where everything is consumed immediately but the good films already get great runs. My favorite modern film, Fellowship of the Ring, already had a great run around the globe (fuck the 2001 ER's ). But I do not think any film deserves to do what Titanic did if we look at the usual good runs. There is not any modern film that has a so good quality relative to the others in order to have a so big gap wiht the next one in terms of box office. Maybe the problem is mine and it is just I do not get the love for those films (Titanic and Avatar). I just have to say good for Cameron because he knew to make two films that people NEEDED to see at cinemas.

Purple Minion Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Forbes article about China: Following a $33 million opening day, on a Saturday, the film plunged 35% to $20.7m on Sunday and then dropped another 65% on Monday for a $7.2m gross. It dropped 17% on Tuesday for a $6m gross and a new $66m four-day total. http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2016/01/12/box-office-star-wars-the-force-awakens-not-catching-fire-in-china/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristis Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Which number is that from BOM? Can't be the Tuesday number OS. Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $815,843,529 46.6% + Foreign: $935,400,000 53.4% = Worldwide: $1,751,243,529 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP1025 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Titanic is definitely out of reach now with domestic looking at $940-950 million max and OS around $1.15 billion with China. But there is still a chance of inching past F7's OS gross. It needs around $1.05 billion OS-China to do so, maybe less if China doesn't drop quite as hard as predicted over the next few weeks.

terrestrial Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Notably this week, China has bumped Australia out of the Top 5 offshore markets for TFA. The Middle Kingdom, with $65.7M, currently sits at No. 5. The UK is still tops with $162.5M, followed by Germany ($95.5M), France ($77.1M) and Japan ($69.4M). (Local PROC reporting by Ent Group has TFA at about $71.5M with Wednesday grosses included, which would lift it past Japan, but those are unconfirmed numbers.)... http://deadline.com/2016/01/the-force-awakens-tuesday-results-passes-avengers-age-of-ultron-china-international-box-office-1201682015/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattW Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Monday Jan 4th through today after removing China gives a domestic/foreign split of 41.5/58.5% which if that lasts to the end of the run means if domestic is _____ then overseas minus china will be ______ 925, 1130 1030 950, 1190 1065 I imagine the domestic legs towards the end will be better than foreign though so we'll see.

It's not making 1130M OS-C. It's not even making 1100M OS-C. It probably won't make 1050M OS-C even. But it will make 925M DOM. I think your calculations are wrong, your OS numbers should be 100M lower. Edited January 14, 2016 by Fake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 So $2B worldwide is a lock right? Using conservative numbers Dom = 920 M OS - C = 1000 M China = 100 M = 2.02 B WW My prediction for final tally: Dom = 950 M OS - C = 1050 M China = 120 M = 2.12 B WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 As of Tuesday its total is a “mere” $957m, but it earned $14m worldwide on Tuesday, with $10.9m overseas and $3.1m in America. So, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has earned $822.8 million domestic, $957.9 million overseas, and $1.7807 billion worldwide. http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2016/01/14/star-wars-the-force-awakens-box-office-3-1m-wednesday-for-a-822m-u-s-1-78b-worldwide-total/#2715e4857a0b53e692993ec3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
