stuart360 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 So 100mil weekdays and a 150mil Christmas weekend and we are looking at 480-500mil by the end of Christmas weekend. Crazy. 70mil Christmas week days and a 70mil New Years weekend and we are looking at 620-640mil total by the start of Jan lol. A 800mil total is definately in reach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine what the numbers will look like next week once Christmas is over? Biggest 2nd weekend record is done and dusted.

BoxOfficeZ Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Its just insane. Not only is it the last saturday before Christmas, it managed to get 69m on a December saturday, after it burned off 57m in previews on thursday. Absolutely crazy.

And then you realize that if this would have been any other Saturday of the year, it would have crushed $70M. And then you realize that while the OW for Episode 8 will likely decrease a bit in a year and a half from now, the decreases will mostly be on Friday and Sunday, with the Saturday probably still matching, if not exceeding, this number.

I would say likely. 2nd weekend will probably drop 50+% though. Previews will throw the numbers off. Still is extremely likely to set the record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Saturday was at 60 m there was little chance at beating Avatar. Some questioned 700 m. Increase the estimate 7-9 million and now 800 m is within reach. Single digit increase...it's powah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major Saturday that has everyone preoccupied with things other than movies. A lot of overseas folks might not understand this, but this really is one of the weaker movie-going weekends of the year. Seriously. The malls and other stores were batshit crazy yesterday with people shopping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
