I'm just as excited as the rest of you but this is going to have slow down eventually, right?  I mean it can't behave like Avatar in terms of drops forever can it?

It might have been close had exchange rates stayed the same as 2009/2010. That said, Titanic's #2 WW position should be toast. 

With today exchange rates, Avatar would had done about 2.3 billion, not 2.7 billion. And that could have been reachable.

I don't think anybody is saying it's going to make $1.8B domestic, so obviously it won't behave like Avatar for long. Avatar was a must-see event that people found out about after the fact, so it developed great legs. But everybody knew about Star Wars going in, so this isn't sneaking up on anybody. That said, with all the sellouts causing spillover, and already tons of presales for Christmas, demand for Star Wars obviously won't slow down in the next week or two.

 

To answer your original question, I think it will finally start to slow down, and start seeing bigger drops, after the first week of January.

The mass server crashes this weekend is getting ready to dish out... It's gonna be nuts.

The thing that's spreading fast and is a big help to this is "You don't need to see the other ones to understand Episode VII." I know about ten people who told me last month they wouldn't see it before finishing the other movies which they weren't planning on doing, but most now have plans to see it by the end of the week even without watching the other ones.

 

 

I like and agree with this post a lot. The movie is very accessible, and that's going to help it's numbers stay strong for a while.

How do you know?

 

It can! I don't think it will do that much, but it nailed Avatar's Sunday and Monday drops.

Lol, "typical December run" is the new "crumbling".

[baumer]

1030 AM we'll probably get a number from the studio.

[kitik]

typical $39M Monday

The race is interesting, but let's not act like Avatar wasn't a $400M film with tremendous hype. Saying "it would feel like a cheat" is strange.
