Quigley Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Even at the low end of predictions ($125M), SW7 will still set a record Thursday-preview-free Friday gross with $68M. Jurassic World owns the record with $64M. The question is whether it can break the Saturday and Sunday records set by Jurassic World ($69.6M and $57.2M).

Deep Wang Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well, my theater shit all the beds tonight. I don't know what the fuck happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I may be pessimistic, but even with a $126M OD, my OW projections keep coming to around $236-240M. I think most people here don't realize that we are in the deep portion of the NFL season, so Sunday will likely have a 30+% drop. I also see it, at the very most staying flat from Friday. Would love to be wrong, though. Right now I'm hoping for $250M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give this a 15% drop most on Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Just got back from viewing #2. One guy behind me hated it. But the rest of the theater seemed to love it. Laser was awesome, 3D was very well done in that format. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Disney should create a tombstone for the December Opening Weekend out of adamantium mixed with unobtanium, wrap it in mithril, dip it in gold, and encrust it in diamonds, because fuck me, I don't think that's ever going to be topped. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) $125-130M OD?! Now that's very. very impressive. No other movie has gone that high.....even summer blockbusters. So there is finally a movie that will outgross James Cameron's duo of blockbusters? Edited December 19, 2015 by MrFanaticGuy34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hmm you know technically TFA made more money on Thursday even than any other movie did. That $57 million is good enough for an unadjusted Thursday record. The current record holder is actually Revenge of the Sith with $50 million. That's the oldest opening day record standing at over 10 years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans vs Colts is the only notable one at 1 PM Broncos vs Steelers is the biggest game at 4:25 Cardinals vs Eagles should be decent, but it's not huge for Sunday night showings.

How long we thinking the all-time OW record this is setting is going to stand? The record length for wide openers is what, 4 years? This may not be beaten for a decade.

Eh, looking at past movies, up to 20% or even a couple points more is possible. With sellouts pushing some audience towards backloading, it might be closer to your 15%... but on the other hand, it's certainly possible that after burning off $200m in demand, it drops more like 20-22%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 With those numbers, worst case scenario is around 240m. That's if it drops Saturday and drops by 30% on Sunday. If it just holds even 250m is in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'm already seeing scattered sellouts for Saturday. Even morning shows... 8am, 9am, 10am. A few afternoon shows here and there. A few IMAX shows. Smaller theaters like the AMC Fullerton have most of their shows sold out for the day. I even saw 3am and 4am sellouts listed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
