Deep Wang Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Okay, so here's a question, when was the last time a movie broke the opening weekend record and then went on to become the highest grossing movie domestically? Has this ever even happened before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I really believe 300 was possible in the summer. But as I already said earlier in this thread, 250 in December is even more insane than that would have been in some ways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's silly given how huge its weekend is, but that is seriously bugging me now. The whole weekend should belong to The Force dammit!

Don't worry, Disney's getting Puerto Rico ready for the additional 1M Saturday needs. 120.5M 70M 60M 250.5M OW, all of our problems solved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyLL Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 5 minutes ago, MovieMan89 said: As far as demand goes, maybe that is indeed the cap. Technically it should be possible for more though. When I saw TPM... they took the line we waited in ( for 3 hours ) and lead us into the theater and just filled row after row of people... no choosing seats. My AMC24 last thursday... IMAX was 'sold out'. However they didn't require everyone to fill in the empty seats and there were at least 20-30 empties. They obviously left some slack. When I peeked into all the big shows... they were all like that. 80-90% full. I think theaters are choosing customer satisfaction over filling every seat these days. It doesn't hurt that there isn't much need for screens for other movies right now. That might change next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZattMurdock Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 We're at page 250 and this thing can do it $250m OW? If there's ONE film deserving of that, it's this one. Go The Force Awakens!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this ever even happened before? Jurassic Park. I think Jaws before that. So basically once every 20 years we get a movie that breaks the OW and the DOM records. As if we needed more confirmation how special TFA is. Edited December 21, 2015 by MovieMan89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Also, I think the higher Sun's number ends up being...the softer the drop on Mon due to business spilling over. How many people who were turned away from seeing the long lines are going to try and go this next week? It's going to be an amazing ride these next few days!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really surprised about that after giving strict rules of behaving and what not to post, like comparison to other movies...? I really like those rules btw, the thread is still fastly enough growing to be difficult to read all posts (what I try to do) 1 hour ago, The Futurist said: I am not sure there s even 10 Avatar apologists on this board, I sense so much passional hatred towards the blue people, its weird really. Beside my hubby I do not know anyone in RL who didn't like them at least. But hubby does not like Star Wars, MCU, DC, ... tons of actual movies neither. He loves French film noir of the '50, also Tati, Truffaut, Jarmuch, Chabrol, Melville, Kubrick,... I like those and a lot of the actuals too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Park came close to beating E.T.'s first theatrical gross, like within $2M of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepCSC Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I'm not sure about other theatres, but when I worked one in high school, we basically stopped selling at the 85% full mark. For Phantom, I think we were allowed to go to 90%. But sold out never meant 100% for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
