Crazy.  I was an early believer that TFA was going to be big but this is something else.

 

I think we are in for an Avatar/Titanic type of run.  This is gonna be fun.

no, no films run can replicate theirs, this is just a massive opener with typical December drops.

I don't care which version of run it will get, but  I too think this is and will be a lot of fun to follow

 

Out to work, only a 1/2 day today and tomorrow, a bit at Wednesday too, and then free time to a degree (still working at a project from home)

sigh...

 

Typical December drops include 40m Mondays?... sellouts on Tuesdays?

 

These isn't anything typical about a 1 Billion dollar DOM grosser.

40m Monday was pretty obvious imo, its not an unpredictable box office run by any means. It is simply just a massive opener with typical drops.

It's not?

 

Can you give me a December movie that was comparable?

yes. which to me is equally impressive.

 

No one thought you could do a summer like opening, let alone take the record in December. Once TFA did that, people started to assume it would behave more like a summer movie. Now it is showing it is not. When I say people I am referring to mainstream box office reporters/analyst.

 

This movie has HP8 front loading with Return of the King Legs(or better).

There hasn't been a big opener in December to compare with because studios were too dumb to realise that December was perfectly fine to have movies open big. Its run is following box office patterns, here's my prediction from the 7th of December. I wouldn't have been a ble to predict the gross of say Avatar or Titanic, but this has been pretty easy so far. Sat is the only day I got completely wrong.

yea. After the upward revision of Sunday it seemed Plausible. . Even with Avatar holds it would have been in the upper 30s, not 40ish. After seeing the Saturday totals no one would have predicted a 40m Monday. No one. Sunday gave us hope. Even then the hope became a 35 mil monday.

no, a lot of us knew it could be done. Big Star wars fans aren't going to miss this opening weekend because of its December release, just like the 'fast' franchise proved a film could open big in April, or hunger games proved it in march. Highly anticipated films can open big in any month.

well I predicted it so clearly not 'no-one'

 

Most of us knew that 48 sun was being massively underestimated anyways, it was never dropping 30%

 even you had a 40 mil Monday based off of a 260+ mil weekend. Your predictions were great. But also highlight how unique TFA has been performing.

I'm confused.  You're predicting 950 DOM and you are saying it's a typical December opener?

[vc2002]

SW7 is not a Avatar/Titanic type of run, or any other type of run. It's a run in its own type. It did a lot of things that never happened before, like destroying the OW in Dec, and breaking both the OW record and the DOM all time record,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and it crashes the forum server more times than any other movie.

its following the typical December pattern, just happens to be the first big opener we had there. Its going to be exciting seeing these big tentpoles taking full advantage of December in the future.

I based my Monday number of its Sunday gross, not the weekend itself.

What a beautiful thing to see when you wake up.

 

I have a feeling this will be my all time favorite box office run.
