Staying flat would get it to 197M, so it would need an 83M Sunday to go over 280M. You're right my math was off. I was thinking it had made 85-90 mil without previews. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See it staying flat minus previews from yesterday. Would need to jump about 16% from a true $70m Friday to have any chance at the $280m weekend you mentioned. $250m looks very good though.

Not anymore with a juggernaut like SW7 playing and so many releases ahead. it wont match the late legs of MJ1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the late legs, but overall i don't see how it can miss that 2.76 multiplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 With 240+ million, can the admissions argument be over for what had the biggest weekend. I know previews, but I think with SW7 we know the 57 million would have just went into midnights and Friday Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who of the new cast do you guys think will be the Harrison Ford of the group (in terms of movie career feasibility/longevity beyond the Star Wars behemoth)? Ridley, Boyega, or Isaac?

Previews were only 45% overall (10% IMAX) and if that holds, it probably only needed 235 to do it. Let's wait till full weekend estimates tomorrow when they report the splits (need to know PLF as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridley, Boyega, or Isaac? Isaac already has a very respectable career, so he'll be fine. I'd be surprised if the other two broke out in anything beyond SW, but that's more indicative of how huge the franchise is rather than their talent.

To me, even if it matches TA/SM3 and TDK considering this is not the most favourable weekend to set weekend records... I think its already epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if you told me if you've seen a movie in Laser, but the 3D is the best around. There was some cool shots (one in particular got the crowd oohing and aahing), but it didn't add a ton.

One wonders what they would have done with a 2015 screen count. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
