OW: 177

DOM: 650

WW: 1.65b

 

A lot of people are going to freak out when this doesn't break OW records, but they're forgetting two things:

 

1. Families will be busy with Christmas shopping so the OW will be heavily fan driven. But the second weekend drop will be small to make up for it

2. Many casual fans will skip the OW because of sell out reports. The same thing happened with TPM, which had a lower than expected OW but then showed great legs

 

 

 

less than Jurassic World. Lolz

I repeat. Only 2 movies in the history crossed one billion in domestic box office (adjusted) in their first theatrical releases! Titanic (1997) - $1,072.7 mln, and E.T. (1982) - $1,010.6 mln (according to my calculation).

 

TFA won't be THAT big!! I think Avatar adjusted ($811,1 mln) is a huge challenge. First Star Wars original run ($220 mln before July 1978 re-release) adjusted is 'only' about $820 mln (biggest in the history of the series). I'm afraid that even with 3D and IMAX TFA won't beat that.

 

considering that it only need to sell 10% more tickets than TPM to get to 1B, I say its quite possible. TPM had mixed reviews and WOM. Plus you have another generation to sell to while the first generation is still alive and kicking

 But you know that once they see reality setting in, they will immediately start tweaking their tune, justifying the numbers, rationalizing the scenarios, and I am sure that some of them might even say that their outlandish predictions were just a matter of them joking around and trying to have a little fun with the board... 

Reality is that Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be gigantic (duh!), but Jurassic World has spoiled everyone into thinking that every beloved blockbuster sequel that comes down the pike from now on will become not just huge, but challenging-Avatar-and-Titanic-huge.

In any case, I am so looking forward to the meltdowns.

Your desperation will begin with the midnight number. When SW fails to touch DH2's record I will smile. Then, the Friday number will come and again it will be under DH2. Right then I will start preparing the crow. And in the end, the OW record will not fall and it will be in that moment, when all hope had faded, when the crow will be hot and ready, that I will serve it and laugh like a mad man doing it... emoji48.png

 

 

Naysayers - "Harry Potter and Jurassic Park will keep their records. We are not afraid."

 

SW Loonies - "You will be...You will be."

I think I have tempered my expectations for this film, until now.  

The film has a very good chance of exceeding 500 mill in North America.  If it is really good, it could go much higher.

The international market, as many have pointed out, has never put SW on the giants list.  It has done well, but far from great,  I think that can change this time.  For one, many markets have expanded and two, the three originals did well 35 years ago.  With the returning cast, I think this will do very well in places that Menace did well.  China of course is a wild card here but with places like Australia and the  UK looking to do about 250 mill combined, the prospects look enticing.

 

I am still going to stick with 525-550 in North America but I think it can do about 1.3 bill internationally. The Bomber up to 2,65B now

I'm IN. Off course, this is predicated on SW7 being great and having great WOM. Disney marketing behind it and Christmas/Winter holidays to boost the legs, this club has a chance.

Out. 1.3B smth WW. Probably under 1.35B. About the same with what you think it will do OS  :lol:  ( he is at the least....consistent) 1.45B

I trust in SW DOM, but not so much OS. And F7 success should not make us to forget that exchange rates are still shit. About 1.3-1.4 billion (600 DOM + 700s OS). Out

 

Said this, I wish I am wrong... wishes come true 2,25B

 

On ‎4‎/‎17‎/‎2015‎ ‎9‎:‎07‎:‎59‎, grey ghost said:

Bold club.

 

But I'm going with 1.6 billion.

 

So out, unfortunately. In fortunately 2.3B

 

On ‎4‎/‎17‎/‎2015‎ ‎9‎:‎19‎:‎59‎, Heretic said:

No way(it'll do 1.8b ww). It would require probably $1.2bn OS at least for that to happen, which isn't going to happen.

 

550/900/1.45bn  yes way, as you now state 2.31B

 

 

On ‎4‎/‎17‎/‎2015‎ ‎9‎:‎42‎:‎20‎, baumer said:

Yep, it's different times now.  If F7 is going to do 1.5 billion, there is no doubt in my mind SW can do close to 2B.

Can't wait for you to eat your words.  (now predicting 2.2B, time to eat your own!)

 

A look back from the 1.8b club

I guess I thought it was a daily run prediction and overlooked the totals as an entry

you in. nice looking run. could happen, you need 95%+ on RT to keep those post OW numbers pumped up

Lo siento mucho

As I said, the very first Star Wars original run adjusted is only about $820 mln, after that there was 5 more Star Wars movies and none of them, even with the re-releases, got close to that. TFA might go little big higher than TPM* adjusted thanks to 3D and IMAXes, but will not exceed SW'77 original run.

 

*TPM had pretty good reviews and WOM (great legs). It was the most anticipated movie of all time, remember that!

Fixed it for you.

 

You keep trying to fit TFA into a box and compare it to single movies.

 

ANH (and sequels ) had its huge fanbase.  TPM (and sequels ) had its huge fanbase.

 

 

TFA awakens has both.

 

Take ANH adjusted and TPM adjusted and that's the reasonable target. :ph34r:

 Right...because we know that every single person who watched the OT and every single person who watched the PT are completely separate. No overlapping at all. No siree.

 

That's why we know that whenever Infinity War is done, it will have grossed 4 billion dollars domestically...because the fandom of every single MARVEL movie is separate, which means that all those fans will converge at the cinemas for PART 1 of IW   And of course, when IWII opens, it will gross 4 billion plus all the new fans Part I gets. Yep, that's exactly how these things work. ;)

I remember then as you hear now people complaining about that freaking lizard and as usual poor dialogue. RT has it at 56%, That would be called mixed

 

are you using BOM's ave 2015 adjustment price 8.02. I have no idea where they get that average, are tickets $5 in the Midwest? Children tickets arent that low in the northeast.

 Anyway. 90m tickets should do it at an $11+ average. just 6m more tix than PM. there are 40% more people in Dom btw since SW

Star wars original run includes the following summer IMO/ I dont think it closed nationwide. Just marketed and superexpanded.

I mean sure but the prequels DID grow the fanbase.

That would be silly. :unsure: I was trying to be reasonable. 

 

Although tongue in check the Star Wars franchise is unique.

 

The OT brought in the original fans.

The PT brought in a whole new generation of fans.

All the animated TV, theme park, toys brought in another generation of fans.

 

People underestimate this.  My son ( now 13 ) rode Star Tours at Disneyland, watched the Clone Wars on Disney, and had 100s  of dollars of SW legos before he even saw a movie.

 

I can't think of another franchise that has followed a similar path.
