Stringer Bell Theory Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The fact that 250 is a possibility for a film is mind blowing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to follow the rest of its run. I wonder why the estimates got so crazy last night. The enormous pre sales probably threw off industry tracking models. Yeah similar to TA2 at over $100m early projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we saw that with the 43M matinee number. It didn't do that, that's probably not practically possible on a Friday. They just knew they had done 43M in total (walkup+presale/matinee+evenings) Friday business at the time of that report. It was probably something like 13M Matinees + 30M evenings, and then they did 10M more in walkups for both. Some of them mistook that 43M number for just matinee business up to that point - evenings of 45M would have been pretty standard from there, so 88M projection was incorrectly made, which is where the 145M figure came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Looks like NYC is killing with the matinees. Wonder if west can match. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't. So far they've released 31 movies in 2015 compared to 24 in 2014, as well as more expensive ones. And the 2015 gross includes most of American Sniper. My point was, it could have been worse. And yes, 2015 includes AMERICAN SNIPER. We count calendar gross here, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yay! The weekend as a whole is bound to set records as well: Star Wars and the new releases alone will likely combine for more than $266 million, which is the cumulative total of the biggest box office weekend ever when counting all releases (achieved during Jurassic World's opening weekend). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superduperm Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Thinking $65M today and $45M tomorrow. $230M OW. Going to keep the expectations low. Weekdays should be fun, though. The first 17 days will be insane. Jurassic World has the record for a 17-day gross at just barely $500M. Anyone thinking $600M for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
