We are talking enormous numbers regardless. Families also love Christmas shopping and traveling on this Saturday/Sunday every year. Curious to see how it goes. 

Still staying flat is 63 to 73 Saturday lol with 120-130 Friday.

Way higher than that. No way this movie is going to tumble tomorrow. That is its first prime family day, and families love this franchise. I think +20-25% minus previews can happen. 

 

Kids just got out for winter break today, including college students since my brother just flew out this evening to get home and he hasn't seen it yet, so yes tomorrow should be BIG.

I think the Star Wars Teaser: Official two videos are at 97 million views + Parody at 12 million. 

 

 

There is no real record, just SW7 has 3 trailers over 72 million views.

 

 

SW7 trailer should suprass JW 78 million view  record for a single video of a trailer by the end of this week. 

 

 

 

Damn, those dinosaurs might lose almost every record.

Funny how many FB status updates I see right now are saying they are seeing a non Star Wars film since its so crowded for that but empty for everything else!

While the theater was crowded last night-it was not the most crowded ever. Mainly due to the fact there are more screens now. (20 years ago there were more theaters but less screens, but that's another story)

Also the biggest theater is not the most popular one anymore due to newer theaters. (I loved the film btw)

Oh, and the other great thing: the manager came out at the beginning before the trailers and asked us all not to talk about the movie until we got to our cars. He wanted no spoilers in his theater :lol: 

:lol:

The manager at ours last night came out right away and basically said GTFO to the lobbies and talk so they could seat for the next.  My friend then got mad at my other friend for discussing the film "too loudly" in the lobby because of the line for one of the next screenings. :P

for now going to stick with number had from earlier today 125-130m, same range DL had as low end earlier and I think now as well  , great if does end up going higher, 

FYI  that  early matinee number reported by THR (based on  a theatre sample) going into eve hasn't  gone up by much (which you expect to a degree given it includes presales, it always a case  what type of effect it has)

 

Alright now that I'm back from it.

 

So what I understand is that the 43M figure was how much overall Friday business had been done (walkup+presales) at that point during the day, and it was misreported as matinee business (because 43M matinees would truly suggest >90M Friday).  The question now is, how much did it actually do in morning/matinees.  I predicted mid-line (20M morning/matinees and 45M evenings), and it seems like that's around your lower range.  

 

Saturday is curious.  Haven't seen any sellout reports nor have I done them myself, but after burning off 120-130M in demand already, how much immediate demand will be left?  As of now I'm expecting it staying flat at best (though I'd love to be wrong).

Here is an example of how things have changed.

 

Friends from my local theater said in RAW $ they had their biggest Friday ever but had only a handful of sellouts.

 

I thought how could that be...

 

Well, its on so many damn screens! 

lol
