Giesi Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So this is the full potential of a superb 21st century Star Wars. This record will remain for a long, long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing in 2007 when Spider-Man 3 made a mind boggling 151m. Then BAM! TDK came out out and topped it by 8m the following year. So it could happen. That's what makes the box office so much fun to follow haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) So, #96 all-time domestic, just below Raiders of the Lost Ark and just above Toy Story 2. Knocks Ghostbusters out of the top 100. Question, this has to be the first film to enter the top 100 all time after 1 weekend, correct?

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. Those numbers aren't happening because there is just no way a movie opening this big can follow Avatar type patterns. However, there really isn't anything big opening on Christmas this year. I don't think any of those movies will slow down the Star Wars train at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthWalker Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 as much as i and being the MCU fan i am would cry foul Avengers infinity war part 2 has a CHANCE key word CHANCE to do it but the odds would be approximately 247 million to 1 but it could happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart360 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You know i wasn't blown away by the film but it feels freaking good to have Star Wars back where it belongs at the top, and for perhaps the more younger people out there to finally realize why many people think of movies then think of Star Wars. The prequels grosses, although pretty big, made some people question why Star Wars is held up so high yet the prequels hardly had grosses to match that (except maybe TPM) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? I am only ~ more or less sure of one thing: someone will again get confused by them adding presales to matinee numbers instead to split those up to the matinee and later on numbers = wrong estimates 2 minutes ago, Jayhawk the Hutt said: So, #96 all-time domestic, just below Raiders of the Lost Ark and just above Toy Story 2.

seduh Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 WOW, amazing weekend. After destroying the OD record, it destroyed the OW record. It has the Sunday record and it will get monday record (maybe even Tuesday but that's difficult). This film is going to hold great for such a big film (not avatar but i wouldn't be surprised by and 3,75 x OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 so i'm thinking a 50% drop for monday, based on avatar, rotk, and the hobbit. this basically opened on a thursday so that should soften it a bit. a better multi than my original predictions because of how consistent thurs-sun were Day Date Note $ day $ OD $ weekend $ week $ running total % daily change % we change % wk change Thursday 17/12/2015 57.0 57 Friday 18/12/2015 62.1 119 119 9.0 Saturday 19/12/2015 68.3 187 9.9 Sunday 20/12/2015 60.6 248 248 -11.3 Monday 21/12/2015 30.3 278 -50.0 Tuesday 22/12/2015 33.7 312 11.1 Wednesday 23/12/2015 32.0 344 -5.0 Thursday 24/12/2015 xmas eve 23.6 367 367 -26.3 Friday 25/12/2015 xmas day 50.5 418 114.3 Saturday 26/12/2015 boxing day 67.3 485 33.3 Sunday 27/12/2015 53.9 172 539 -20.0 -30.8 Monday 28/12/2015 26.9 566 -50.0 Tuesday 29/12/2015 26.9 593 0.0 Wednesday 30/12/2015 25.3 618 -6.3 Thursday 31/12/2015 new years eve 18.5 269 637 -26.7 -26.7 Friday 01/01/2016 new years day 38.7 676 109.1 Saturday 02/01/2016 43.8 719 13.0 Sunday 03/01/2016 26.9 109 746 -38.5 -36.3 3rd week 152 788 -43.8 4th week 89 878 -41.1 5th week mlk day 67 945 -24.5 6th week 44 989 -35.0 7th week 29 1017 -34.6 8th week 19 1036 -35.3 9th week val and pres 17 1053 -9.1 10th week 10 1063 -40.0 11th week 7 1069 -33.3 12th week 5 1074 -25.0 13th week 5 1080 0.0 14th week 3 1083 -33.3 15th week 3 1086 0.0 16th week 3 1090 0.0 17th week 2 1091 -50.0 18th week 2 1093 0.0 remainder 2 1095 remainder 2 1096 remainder 2 1098 multiplier: 4.428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking some of the past record holders, Avengers landed at #111, both TDK and SP3 were at #149, and the first Spider-Man was at #177 after OW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So what do y'all think the floor is for the 10-day total? I ran the numbers and came up with about $490m. Could go above $500m, but I'll say $480m seems to be the floor. That's pretty amazing, especially since it has another holiday inflated weekend right after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
