The reality is that SW7 has made somewhere around $63+ mil for its Friday take (and not $120+ mil) in North America, and $57 mil for Thursdays take. It just goes back to the midnight tradition. When a movie like ROTS, TDK, New Moon, or DH2 opened at midnight, technically the money was part of Opening Day but in reality those midnight screenings provided a ton of extra showtimes for Opening Day. Hollywood is just continuing that tradition with earlier shows Thursday night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it shows that huge pre-sales is making it tough for the pro estimators to estimate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 So DH2 did around 85-86% of TFA's ticket sales on OD. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser3 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Decent Friday finally, Star Wars is placing records in the books with an incredible 120 million which will give it a possible 240 million OW. Decent debut for Sisters it should hold up well in the holidays and should make about at least between 14-15 million this weekend. Chipmunks weren't too far behind and faced the lowest grossing OD for the kids 80's cartoon revive and should probably make 14.3 million for the weekend and hold up ok in the weeks to come.

ddddeeee Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Haven't been able to post much this weekend due to family issues but I couldn't be happier that Jurassic Turd's record fell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I'm expecting a strong Saturday increase. Friday was unusually tame at my theater but my coworker told me 1800 tickets for Saturday had already been sold when we closed on Friday. That's unheard of so I'm thinking Saturday record should fall. 73-75m is my prediction for today.

DarthPhil Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think the gap between movies will shorten, they're just being conservative at the moment. If for example Rogue One is a great success, they'll make a sequel to that. If a spin off is not so successful, they'll go with something else etc etc. MCU didn't have 3-4 movies a year at first... Personally I'm not a fan of exploring the backstory of older characters like Solo either, give original characters and stories, not recasting iconic characters.

We could have a case where this behaves like a Thursday opener; Saturday increase ends up behaving like a normal weekend instead of a big weekend. Clones and Sith in May jumped 20 and 28% on Saturday after a Thursday opening. Obviously the issue is that there's no proper comparison for a December film that did 57M Thursday night. But something to watch for, as it wouldn't even take record Saturday attendance to hit high 70s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
