GuardianDevil Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 So TFA made more in its previews Thursday night than Fantastic 4 made in its entire domestic run. That's just...wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 IX will be the next chance for the record, and even that I kinda doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that with the NFL that TFA can catch it. Sundays are inflated this time of year since people are having mondays off (at least some), plus all the sellouts will force (no pun intended) people to go other days, i'm sure Sunday hold will be very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen Episode 5 or 6 until this past week. Over a week ago, my cousin told me to watch it in this order: 4,2,5,3,6. But the real order was 4,5,2,3,6. I mean, I still got the effect from watching 6 after watching 3, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 What?? Before sleeping we were talking about 130-145m!! Early numbers are useless But 125m-130m is so huge I can't be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omario Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 No movie is coming close to this record for maybe a decade. Not even the sequals for this nor any marvel or DC movie. Just mindblowing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will take a few years off between this and the next trilogy to allow hype ( and inflation ) build. You do know that 8 is being released in 2017, right?

I think most people here don't realize that we are in the deep portion of the NFL season, so Sunday will likely have a 30+% drop. I also see it, at the very most staying flat from Friday. Would love to be wrong, though. Right now I'm hoping for $250M. Never underestimate the power of the force. It's gonna drop 25% or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rest of the theater seemed to love it. Laser was awesome, 3D was very well done in that format. I haven't even seen it yet, but this motherfucker saw it twice. FML! Sunday can't come soon enough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misafeco Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ep. 8 will drop big both on OW and total. This is the perfect storm. Avatar DOM is going down by 100M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokai Red Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I was honestly a nonbeliever in the OW record going down this weekend, but I'm glad I was wrong. These numbers are incredible. On the subject of a movie beating this movie, I honestly don't think any movie will for at least a decade or more, by which inflation will win out. The demographics are simply too big. All of the movies adjust to over 400m first run, and when inflation and 3D are accounted for, all of the movies comfortably gross 500m or more. There is no other brand that has such recognition and brandpower that also invokes the nostalgia level to the degree that Star Wars does. As JW has shown us this year, nostalgia can be a very effective selling point. Lastly, when Avengers and JW broke the OW records when they did, theaters were "found with their pants down" as I have seen some other posters refer to it as; they were not expecting Avengers and JW to be in such high demand throughout the entire weekend and were thus unable to schedule an appropriate number of shows. This allowed their drops within the weekend and to the next weekend be comparatively low considering the massive numbers involved. For TFA, it was different though; everyone was expecting something huge, and so all the theaters were fully prepared for the storm that struck. Because of this, I believe that whatever Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens makes this weekend to be the limit, or very close to the limit, of how much a film can make in one weekend. So I don't think this record will be broken for a very long time, and when it does, inflation will play a very large role. For the next several years however, I firmly believe this as high as we can go domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that they're releasing the sequel every 2 years, and spin offs in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpospoke Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 1 hour ago, somebody85 said: I dunno if NFL will effect it that much. Kind of a weak schedule of matchups this week. Texans vs Colts is the only notable one at 1 PM Broncos vs Steelers is the biggest game at 4:25 Cardinals vs Eagles should be decent, but it's not huge for Sunday night showings. Also the big ratings grabber, the Cowboys, are playing Sat night and are so bad that surly even those stubborn fans would rather watch SW7.
