WrathOfHan Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just now, quigquag33 said: Even the low end of that is humongous. The largest single day (excluding midnight) is Jurassic World's $69.6M. The Friday gross for SW7 (excluding midnights) would be $73M if the $130M figure turns out to be true. That is insane. And if it's 145, that'd be 88M. Now that's some serious shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School is still in and people are still working. Although my co worker went to an 8:00 am show and came to work after. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Scottb Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 So, in other words TFA will earn more in 1 day than MJ2 made in it's opening weekend? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hell it's only 2:23 on the West Coast and it's already at $43m in matinees. That is fucking insanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 It's not going to do 300 OW, that would require it to increase on Saturday. The chances of that happening are not very likely. But is 275 possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGPOP Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 With this number, it is not impossible to think this movie might have a chance at $300 million. Don't call me crazy (just yet), I am already blown away and whatever number it ends will be the greatest and most astonishing box office opening weekend event ever, EVER. Someone, please, let's just count the numbers. People go absolute insane and night shows literally explode and push this movie at $95 million day and $152 million opening day. Saturday is at $80 million Sunday is at $70 million There you have it, $302 million weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
