bladels Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Just realize TFA theater average is $59,982. I'm having a major OCD reaction right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Prediction: Around 10pm, Rth comes in with 40-42m Monday 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) If this does pass Avatar, I hope it does so by a significant enough amount that Cameron can't rerelease Avatar in Smell-O-Vision and retake the top spot. Still kinda bummed that the 3D rerelease of Titanic kept Avengers from overtaking it. Edited December 22, 2015 by Orestes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagemode87 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Just saw this, very overrated. Good movie, but doesn't deserve the weekend it just got. Found Kylo very weak as a villain. Hope that's not considered a spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does get a Best Pic nom, Fury Road better get one, too. AVATAR managed to get one so it wouldn't be that far-fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on a new technology that will put audience in film. Tickets cost $1 million each. A million rich people see it causing it to gross $1 Trillion WW. Cameron tops the box office until the end of times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggestgeekever Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If Monday is over $40M, which is looking increasingly likely, I don't know how it misses $50M for Christmas. Avatar's second Friday was 41% ahead of its first Monday, so TFA seeing a ~25% increase should be doable, especially given we know Christmas had the third highest presales prior to the weekend.

GiantCALBears Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Looks like traffic will begin to head over to Monday now that this has been unpinned. Wild weekend, one for the books (& plenty of chapters left to go). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TFA were to finish somewhere between 750-759m it would beat Avatar's original run while still not becoming the highest grossing movie DOM.

I need new eye test but $$$$. I feel very lucky to have 20/20, especially since my mom and dad both wear glasses. Sister also has 20/20. My mom's sister and her daughter both have horrible vision. Cousin was wearing glasses from very young age, similar to my mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Sounds bizarre but I'm in a way kinda jealous of the US's unreserved seating thing. All of the UK is reserved so on the plus side you can book a great seat and turn up as its starting if you wanted to... But on weekends like this I can imagine the excitement of waiting in line with hundreds of other fans, you almost have to make a day of it. The anticaption must be great. Like I said, kind of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I hope it does. If that happens, and if Stallone gets a Supporting Actor nod, I might actually watch the Oscars for the first time in forever.

Yeah you say this in theory, but in practice the UK has it right. The only reserved seating at my local Regal is for IMAX and Regal's PLF brand RPX. I gladly pay extra for the RPX reserved seats over going to a regular show and dealing with the free for all to get a decent seat. Plus RPX is a much bigger screen of course, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
