Yes I love that JW barely beat TA's OW record(which it held for 3 years) and SW is going to OBLITERATE JW's record(which it held for 6 months). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering yesterday people were talking about $55-60m, a $73m true Friday is insane! (Naturally I'm just hoping it ends up even higher so we get the chance to explode again.) 73m Friday still makes OW record in 2 days possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Scottb Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 One thing is for certain. TFA proves that December releases can have monster openings. No more do we have to look at Avatar, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and I am Legend and think that $70m-$80m OWs are the ceiling. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect ~20-25M matinees and ~45-55M evenings. 65-80M Friday + 57 previews, range of 122M-137M. We'll see. He also said that was only through 1 PM Eastern shows.

I bet if they put this movie in late September it would still do 200m OW easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely the exception, not the rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJackSparrow Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 If anything is to beat my Jurassic World opening weekend, I'm happy it's Star Wars and not Batman VS Superman. Sorry Excel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
