What about the day after Christmas though? Avatar jumped 107% on Christmas Day, then jumped another 22% on Saturday. What if the same thing happens with TFA?

 

60

72 (+20%)

57.6 (-20%)

 

190M 2nd weekend.

 

Because why not.?

[Lordmandeep]

My predictions

288

38.5

35

23

45 

51

41

137 million weekend

521 million by Sunday

 

Um I tried to stay conservative too lol 

 

 

SW7 could have unbeatable record by getting a 4th or 5th day over 50 million and at least 3 more days over 40 million. 

SW7 should get around 10 days over 30 million.

Add in expanding markets and it would probably make around 2.7 lol. The quality of avatar or whether it 'deserved' it's gross or not is completely irrelevant when it comes to how impressive it's run is

I was just about to post that. AVATAR would probably of doubled its China gross at least today. In fact the film could very well of earned more than its 2.78bil if it had come out today, what with the huge growth of the international scene since 2009.

From a rational perspective of how it would play out, I would see a more massive than normal increase for Christmas day and then it stays flat or increases 10% or so.  But it will probably increase by 23% just to be cocky.

Oh im afraid the domination of this film will be quite ongoing when your oscar bait arrives

That's Cameron's genius - he timed Avatar's release to coincide with beneficial exchange rates.

 

 

 

 

 

That would explain why the sequel keeps getting pushed back. Waiting for the exchange rates to get better.

[Lordmandeep]

326.5 million 5 -day        

 

 

362 million 6-day

385 million 7-day 

 

So in about 7 days this should outgross ROTS...

To be fair, it would actually be a smart move for studios.

It's going to destroy JW's 7-day record ($296.2m) by $30m in 5 days. Insanity.

Pretty close to 0% drop from the non-preview opening weekend.

 

[Lordmandeep]

I have sense.... (yes SW line)

 

That there will be a correction on one of these days by Sunday. An unexpected big drop...

 

Just a sense...

I think it would be pretty tough for studios to time the FOREX market

A disturbance in the force?

[seduh]

WOW, I do expect to fall not so low because of the hifh amount of money it's making. If it makes $40 on monday, then $37,5 tuesday, $31,5 Wednesday and $20 Thrusday for a $40 on Chrismas (to a $130 second weekend)

[DarthWalker]

I don't think anyone cares about that movie

There is a very good chance KFP3 will block TFA

Being really conservative-

 

Mon- $40

Tue- $36

Wed- $30

Thurs- $16

Fri- $34

Sat- $37

Sun- $31

 

The most ridiculously conservative I could possibly be here and the weekend is still over $100 million.

A 100mil 2nd weekend?, that wouldn't be a good sign, especially on Christmas weekend.

150mil should be the target.

Except the Yuan has lost ~10% of its value vs the dollar compared to 2009/2010 and the eastern empire's economy is amidst a huge drawback on its economy, missing critical numbers and contracting in multiple fields.

Economic times are different now than they were in '09/10 in China. It's not so "roaring 20's" as it was, but more akin to an underperforming economy for the masses.

 

Yay macro economics.
