Then their estimates dropped to 238-244 yesterday. My mistake then, must have seen that number somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 just want to point out that Spectre still has a chance to cross 200m. It's weekend was pretty much identical to Thor 2 which made another 6 million after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another flop after Tomorrowland. Thank god they have Inside Out, Avengers, Ant-Man and TFA. But they could have done it, I don't know why they didn't. When AoU was released, Cinderella dropped 0.7% When IM3 was released, OZ increased 16.7% Dead Men's Chest, Cars dropped 26% TS3, Prince of Persia dropper 14.2% i was sure that it would happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we wait for actuals and % adjustments tomorrow for the most accurate estimate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Truly astonishing opening for Star Wars. To see it beat the previous weekend record by $30 million while opening in a month that is traditionally more about longevity than huge starts is incredible. We'll see where the upcoming holidays take it with regards to Avatar's domestic record, but it's abundantly clear that we're dealing with something that has no useful precedent to use for comparison. No matter how it shakes out, though, the film is a monster. Really, there were many factors that contributed to the mammoth opening: the ad campaign from Disney, which was perfect at every single stage; the clear appeal to nostalgia, specifically for the beloved original trilogy; overwhelmingly positive reviews; and hype so huge that its ripples have been felt in great force ever since tickets went on sale two months ago. While it perhaps didn't hit the ceiling of what a film is capable of doing in a single weekend (plus five hours of Thursday), it came pretty damn close. It's no small achievement that it has taken Jurassic World's $208.8 million opening from June - which seemed almost unfathomably huge at the time - and made it look small by comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That number won't be touched for a long time. That's what I thought about spider 1 in 2002 at 114m. Now doubled in 13 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? 200 production + 150 marketing, let alone how long that movie stayed in the gutter... so many problems behind the scene. It's at ~190 and only has Japan, Korea and China left.

VGPOP Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I got average of 80.0% in my first derby. It will be less because no way SW7 ends with $238.0 million I don't know if you are allowed to post results. But that's what I calculated.

Fullbuster Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 238m OW is a fantastic number that's here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 So 238m is the official estimate? Awesome. LOL and BKB's club has a very good chance of succeeding and he's banned again. Got to love it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Excel said that Jurassic Park is the bigger franchise and that nobody cares about Star Wars except old nerds and that after the prequels there's no way this could beat the opening weekend record especially since it's in December! No way! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
