Is it within the realm of possibility? It'll fall short due to Good Dinosaur underperforming. Otherwise they probably would have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers over the 4 days: 57-63.5-68.7-60. Yup, totally super frontloaded. It will have no legs. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting that this movie had an abnormal opening weekend built on hype. The preview opening and first day gross compared to sat and Sunday are proof of this. Demand is burnt more than you guys think. You can't just use a regular multiplier for that kind of weekend. I say this slows down and ends at 650. It had a 15% drop and did $61m on a Sunday and you think the demand is burnt and legs are gone? Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it did $40m more during previews and it still managed to keep up with Jurassic Worlds numbers, and even beat a couple of the daily records to boot. For it to ONLY do $600-650m would require a monumental collapse like we've never seen before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Lol Ta got a 3.8 multiplier in canada. With holidays should be 4.5x min. So should be 75+ in canada. That would.nearly double Rots gross 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only question is how much it will beat Avatar by. Edited December 21, 2015 by Jayhawk the Hutt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Scott Mendelson from Forbes, and welcome to the forums, you could learn a lot if you stick around here. For one thing, as others have already pointed out, the Sunday number (lets say 59 for now) compared to the Friday (Friday proper of 63) and Saturday numbers is fantastic. A great hold. Expect demand to continue to remain strong for the next few weeks. We got an article last week stating that Christmas Day was the 3rd best day for presales, behind only Thursday night and Friday, so expect Star Wars to put up crazy numbers for the rest of the year. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think an inordinate bulk of the audience is seeing it right now. Don't see big legs for this. One thing you'll learn after hanging around on this board for a while is that movies for older people have really good legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding, right? ALL THE KIDS want Star Wars toys. Star Wars is literally everywhere, and it has literally just started.

eddyxx Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's funny seeing people on other boards calling the weekend front loaded because of the 120 million number when they're not taking into account the 57 million preview number is part of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileECoyote Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So if it hits 250, TFA annihilated the December BO by 3x+. OW record by 20%+ And holidays to boot. Impressive. Most impressive...

In no way shape or form can we say that $1B is likely to happen right now (though if we get some really, really good numbers next weekend, we might legitimately say it), but just the fact that we can't immediately rule out $1B is really amazing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
