Hehe, if it opened last year, say in the summer, Episode 7's OW would have made it the second biggest film of the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerfy01 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 WELP put another $50 to the gross. My parents (who never go to the theater anymore) just bought 3 tix RPX. So this will be my 3rd viewing >.> 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialFairyIX Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Disney... you should have pulled $2.1 million from THG! Nobody would care! Now, for Monday... ? Monday: $40 million, -33% Tuesday: $34 million, -15% Wednesday: $33 million, -3% Thursday: $23 million, -30% Friday: $51 million, +125% Saturday: $42 million, -18% Sunday: $40 million, -3% A man can hope, right?

CJohn Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anything over 35M on Monday is a win to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, it's going to break the Monday record and probably Tuesday too. If FA follows those numbers all the way up to New Years, I'm calling it quits on BO tracking because nothing will ever top that in our lifetime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the kind of thing he was posting about BVS before this weekend. He actually may be right about TFA for once. It would be cool to see this last the longest for any OW record ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) $18 away from a $60K PTA. But epic opening. Truly something to experience. We may very well be looking at the first billion grosser domestic. Edited December 21, 2015 by Mango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart360 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Well what coming up is going to break this weekend? Rogue One - no SW8 - possible but unlikely AVATAR 2 - Its not a fanboy driven film so no. BVS - lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are awfully ambitious numbers. I mean, I guess it's stupid to count SW out, but they seem way high, especially this Monday and Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, 11% drop is crazy. 18-20% would be a very good hold given the size of the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another SW is the most likely candidate, but even that is unlikely. It curb-stomped the OW record and we are unlikely to see a film this hyped for a long time, maybe ever.

RamblinRed Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 How big do people think Christmas Day could go. We know that Christmas Day was the third largest selling presale day behind Thur and Fri as of last week, so there is already alot of money in - could they shatter the record and get close to $50M?

Biggestgeekever Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I certainly wouldn't dismiss Episode 8 at all. Depending on how things go here, Episode 8 could top the weekend record, but still fall short of TFA's domestic total by $200M or more by virtue of a summer opening. Which would be a similar drop as Avengers 1 to Ultron. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those figures for SW7 for the period after Xmas seem to be optimistic, as by then a large percentage of the viewing public, who would of wanted to see the film, would of done so by then. I realize there will be many repeat viewings, but at the same time, there are some other big films being released at Xmas as well. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what happens, and who knows SW7 could do something at the box office, that none of us have seen before.
