Obviously would still be a great number, but 120m is the target. And ummm... What exactly do we know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I wonder will a non-SW movie break this OW record in the forseeable future. SW is like the king of franchises and I wonder what it takes for a non-SW to have a slight chance to beat this record set by a long-waited and extremely-well marketed SW movie.

Thank you to RTH the god. That bodes very well for Saturday here in North America. Maybe a very good increase from the non-preview Friday number.

In 25 years Jurassic Reboot will beat it only to be destroyed by Star Wars returning with the old cast (Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega) 6 months later 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 SW7 shattered previews record by 30%. Similar performance for friday would take its OD to 145m. But 130m is more likely. It would be crazy to see single day increasing that much. That has increased quite gradually in the past(SM3 did 50m back in 2007). But Avatar domestic is happening for sure !!!!

I think so too. Based on what Tele, the Seattle guys, Ectsasy and others have posted here...the West Coast is going to kick some serious ass tonight. Still 2-3 hours from primetime for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you to RTH the god. There are no words. This could get close to $60m opening in the UK. (Equivalent of around $360m in NA). Previous record is $38m!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattW Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I've seen this a few times here and it kind of annoys me. DL says 130-145 and about 75% of everyone here went straight to 145. Early numbers are early, take the range at face value, it's there for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnY Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 5 hours ago, water said: what a disappointing number. not 57m, which is obviously huge, but 71% male. that's abysmal. that means among women this did $57m * 0.29 = $16.5m. dh2 midnight adjusted did $45.7m * 0.54 = $24.7m among women. new moon midnight adjusted did $28.74m * 0.80 = $23.0m among women. and neither of those account for 3d. if tfa did as well among women for previews as dh2 midnight did it would have done $70.3m previews (coincidentally my prediction was 70m) and if it did as well among women for previews as tfa did among men it would have done $91.2m previews. hopefully the final weekend breakdown is closer to 50/50 but wow if there was a box-office-related time to be disappointed in the sexism in the geek community it would be now. THG and Twilight are extremely popular among women, romantic young adults novels with women as main characters are obviously popular among women maybe the numbers really are low, but you should be comparing it to older SW movies or... i don't, maybe LOTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
