Point Break's not gonna take TFA's opening weekend record from it, and claims its title as the true Christmas release of the season? I object!

mepal1 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Believe it or not, but not everyone is going to the cinema's just to see SW7. btw:- regarding AVATAR, great film from a technical point of view, but as a film story, i found it very mediocre. People only went to see the film so they could wear those cheap plastic 3D glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current estimate coming from Disney for SW7 is down to $220 mil SW7 may get to $50 mil on Sunday, absolute tops.

It increased on it's Sat and had a better drop on Sun because it was well received. TL was not well received which is why it is not a great comparison. You never admit when you're wrong do you? We are in uncharted territory here and it's hard to find a decent comparison. So you go back and find the closest match that makes your point. You should have ignored your personal feelings and went back and found the most comparable match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not a bad Sat for such a massive preview number, but I won't lie about being disappointed it didn't really go up minus previews. Thought it for sure would. At any rate, I do know TONS of people going for Xmas next weekend, even if they've already seen it, so next weekend should be massive again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL ex previews was basically flat Friday-Saturday just like TFA, Titanic was not & jumped 23%. TL ended up w/ a 3.9x multiplier which will be in the same digit as TFA (3-4x at absolute best case) Titanic was a 20x. TL was a 3D/IMAX release which had similar surcharges to TFA, Titanic was released in 1997 & was #1 for 16 weeks in a row lol. Admit I'm wrong because your comparison makes no sense? Ok then.

Titanic's Saturday jump should have cause a bigger Sunday drop. How dos 3d/IMAX have anything to do with a single movies daily drops? Is TFA awakening losing IMAX on Sunday so it'll drop more?
