RamblinRed Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Good article on how Disney prepped this movie. http://deadline.com/2015/12/star-wars-the-force-awakens-disney-box-office-success-feat-1201670169/ Anybody who thinks this isn't going to have significant legs needs to read just part of 1 sentence With 96% of all moviegoers saying that Force Awakens either met or exceeded their expectations, coupled with 88% saying that they’ll pass good word of mouth along to at least five people per Rentrak PostTrak . My wife hasn't seen it yet and probably won't until close to new years. I have co-workers that want to do a group outing to it in the next couple of weeks. I think the week between Christmas and NY could be very large as shopping and travel will have less effect that week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthOpeningGross Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Other than typing the word "front-loaded" over and over again, what actual evidence do the people who are typing this have to suggest that TFA is indeed front-loaded? A huge opening weekend can either mean it's "front-loaded" OR that it has massive cross-generational appeal. Setting aside the ridiculous hold on Sunday, why not look at the advance sales for theaters beyond this weekend? There are many IMAX locations (and prime theaters, like Seattle Cinerama) that are either sold out or have huge sales all the way through next weekend. Doesn't that give a clue on how un-front-loaded this movie is? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Trying to collect details into one place Not seen in this detail I think According to Forbes: Age: it played 8% 12 & under, 9% 13-16, 20% 17-25, 26% 26-34, 24% 35-49, and 13% 50 and over. That one I think was posted, only added for completeness It played 53% 2D and 47% 3D. It played 28% straight 3D, 12% IMAX, and 7% PLF That percentage I think I haven't seen earlier $238m (!) .... $84m opening of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This opening was 283% larger, which is the most significant “month-topping debut” jump by a healthy margin. Out of different sources: Italy €6.539.684, cume €8.393.150 (~ 1.05m admissions) / US$9.2m South Korea US$7.8m (901,879 admissions), started against a big local movie (The Himalayas 1,110,410 admissions) Australia AU$27,254,820 average per theater = AU$28,964 / AUS (not sure if incl NZ?) = US$18.9m New Zealand NZ$4,507,434 average per theater = NZ$22,204 UK/IRL $48.9m Germany $27.3m (est. is ~ 2.15m admissions) France $22.7m Japan $13.5m Russia $12.3m Mexico $11.3m Spain $9.6m Brazil $8.3m Sweden $6.6m Hong Kong est. $3.3m (201,418 admissions) = not good Romania $0.95m (175,276 admissions) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattW Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 $61m Sunday is more impressive than Saturdays $69m I think. Incredible. Bodes extremely well for the weekdays. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
