No one (credible) on this site had anywhere near the Monday total, & this is is quite an optimistic group here. Monday did 2/3 of Friday day business. That's just not possible at this level lol.

 

My stated overly optimistic prediction yesterday in the Weekend thread was 40m, does that count?

 

And I'd also say rth is credible, and he technically had 39-41m....

Start up the Tuesday thread so we can debate the o/u hold of avatar vs SW7  for today.

I say it's a bump

MBFGW was fun to follow

 

That was one of the most puzzling, yet amazing BO runs of all time.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding would love to argue (just being a smart ass). That 9th weekend gross adjusted will never be topped.

Every OT film was basically an adventure film. ANH, classic hero's journey. ESB, escape and peril. ROTJ is basically a rehash of ANH with finality/new locations.

We wanted an adventure film because that's what Star Wars IS. Not some political trade negotiation drama crap. Adventure. That's the point.

It still has to be a great film to be already having these kind of drops. If it wasn't great, I wouldn't have already seen it 3x.

I thought we ve settled that a long time a ago.

 

The other comparable runs are ET, Star Wars & Jaws.

Thats a bit silly. TFA has 3D and will probably have more kids seeing it than AVATAR had.

Autocorrect. CGI

Force Awakens will continue to be the masses’ top choice next weekend after posting a near $248M opening with $160M-$162M, off 35%.

My favorite runs to track were RIPD, Seventh Son, and the one true king, Stealth

AVATAR belongs to that list. No one thought it was even possible for a blockbuster film to have 10x legs in this day and age, especially 10x legs off a 77mil opening weekend.

Titanic's highest grossing day of it's $600 million plus run?  $13,048,711

 

What day of it's run was this you might ask?  Day 58

How did King Bridges not make it into Stealth? I guess Cohen is allowed to drop one ball.

Define modern times. I say that is post vcr 1984.  I agree, titanic is one.

Jaws was the run for 1952 (post TV) to 1984 (pre-vcr). WOM explosion among the most demos.

If this actually increases, I may need to be institutionalized due to shock.

Titanic is one of my favorite films but its run is so impressive (20x legs) because it had a lot of negative press against it and its 30mil opening was the film flopping at that time. The film had great wom though and people took a chance on it and it just built up from there.

They're just projecting the rest of the week the same as we do.

That was pre-Oscah Bridges, before that genie cursed him to always use his stupid fucking cowboy accent in every movie

Valentine's Day. Figures.  But yeah, that box office run is just un-fucking-believable.

Speak for yourself. I would prefer a balance between the two. I found the first order/resistance/republic dynamic confusing. One of the bigger weaknesses of the film
