That's amazing... Lol

 

We're not at full capacity yet. 

 

Who are we kidding? This movie will break $60 million night shows for a $103 million business day and $160 million full opening day.

I am gonna go with Tele here and assume everything before 7 PM are matinees. THAT IS FUCKING INSANE. Is DHD trolling everyone right now? Is this gonna make 90M today without previews? That is impossible. I am gonna set up my expectations for a good 120M OD. 

I've never seen a theater do matinees until 7, 6 is typically the latest and even then that's on the late side.

$300m OW is happening. It's going to do in 3 days what HBP and DH1 did in their entire runs.

 

I mean...it's beyond insane.

 

That is stunning and make no mistake that this record will stand for YEARS. Not even the sequels will do as much.

It is finished then... One more star wars will ruuuuule the domestic galaxy!

 

I simply can't believe this number! I am so happy if it is true!

 

I did say earlier in the thread everyone is

lowballing friday and that we'd surely see a $120-130 mill OD as reports if friday business sounded strong' but 135-145! Seriously WTF!

 

surely this is gonna be somewhere around 28-30 million for OW attendance and thus obliterating SM3, TA and TDK's ow attendance record?

 

Yeah attendance record is gonna get shredded looks like.  Finally

Just incredible.  And deserved, really.  

 

I think most of us thought this was possible but aired on the side of skepticism to avoid disappoint.  Glad to see the hype truly being real.

 

Also, think it's nuts people are kind of shitting on a few posters bringing up there being a discrepancy between this and Potter's midnight.  This won flat out, and no one is contesting that.  But to try to argue that that there isn't a difference in going between 7pm and midnight during a work week is insane.  There's NO CHANCE I would have went last night if it hadn't been for those 7pm showings.  I'm not a die hard fan of the series but I love it enough but still, I would have waited.  And the group of 7 that went with me would have most likely all done the same.  

 

It in no way takes away from that MASSIVE number but I think you have to give Potter the respect it deserves for filling that many seats at midnight.  Plain and simple.  I know that's not the story this weekend, but it's not something to say isn't a reality either.

It's ROTJ Part 2, just in the modern era where it's not bloody likely that there will be enough of a theater expansion for the record to get beat as easily as that one did.
