wildphantom Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Anything over $50 million is crazy huge. Basically sold out everywhere. It'll be much the same from 7pm onwards on Friday. If that matinee business is big (like it obviously will be on Saturday) I can see $110-120 OD. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well, anything over Potter is huge. And keep in mind, Potter's midnight is already huge. That didn't just eclipse the record, it fucking destroyed it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, do you have any idea how big this number is? CJOHN says these are the numbers we are looking for. Lol So as of now opening day can range from 98 million to 120 million.

No. Anything over $40 million in crazy huge. $50 million+? That's astonishing. It doesnt matter that 99% of all people were predicting that number. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will call one of the biggest openings in history just "alright" if it doesn't hit absolutely ridiculous numbers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 1 hour ago, vc2002 said: Is SW7 going to make the studios think "Oh ok, so we dont have to jam our movie in the summer to get a massive OW. We should really use December more in the future." Or they'll just go like "That doesnt mean anything. SW7 is gonna break the record no matter what month that is." BvS coming in March is already the biggest signal that studios are being less rigid about release dates for blockbusters. And about time too.

wileECoyote Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 It's 4:35AM and I'm not tired. That's what Star Wars does to you. Now to get an hour or two nap before catch my flight and second viewing in Fort Lauderdale. Electric atmosphere. And yeah IMAX laser did not disappoint. Slight cheers for BvS and Civil War. Not much for Warcraft and ID Resurgance. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now don't get me wrong previews are epic. .. This is a wacky theory but previews would have been much higher if this was summer so I think this will be more back loaded then people think.

Heretic Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Crazy number. A 120m OD would be incredible. Can I just say though, this reinforces just how impressive DH2's midnights were, without the aid of 7pm-12am shows.
