Lol its not going down, wishful thinking from Star Wars diehards. The best bet is domestic as this movie isn't getting close to 2.7 worldwide. 

We will have to wait n see if China explodes

If there's one thing I like about a new movie setting records, it's all the butthurt it brings out of fans of previous record holders.

40.1m (or 41.1m, whatever it is) is fucking legendary. That SM2 record stood forever and is legendary itself. SW just shattered another record that may not be broken for another two years, if not longer.

 

FTFY.

The basketball bit was the hardest ive laughed from a trailer this year, so ill do a cheap tuesday or something, but I need to see it.

 

Went to an xmas party sunday and some others were chatting how funny it looks, so i wont be the only person in the theater lol.

I won't judge your comedy tastes. I laughed a lot harder at the trailer for Vacation, than for anything in Spy.

Ummm funny. For me Avatar had a bad story, a weak villain, and forgettable characters. Everyone has a different opinion

Freeman 4.592m

Hanks 4.334m

L. Jackson 4.592m

Well Freeman and Jackson are not always leads or even supporting actors at times

Friday was off at times but last three days he's been crushing it. His adjustments have been incredible, guy should work for the studios or media. Could make some nice coin I bet.

 

The massive previews are screwing with all the experts ability to predict.

 

Less of an issue once we got into the weekend.

 

LOL at where he should work... I take it that was in jest?

If it does end up opening MD weekend, you're probably right.

It was sort of lol but in fairness the statistical analysis & modeling I assume he does could be used in plenty of other areas. Guy clearly has talent or is good at disseminating information at a basic level.

What are the chances you guys think that Episode VIII moves to Christmas 2017?  If it all possible I wouldn't want to mess with the massive success of the release date. Not sure when Avatar 2 is going to be ready.

My favorite comedy is Rush Hour 2, so that should tell you everything you need to know.

I'm sure they're at least seriously considering it now.

@Baumer Fett- Re numbers.  Always to with Boxoffice.com

 

Yesterday when I was posting Derby actuals there was a dependency between BO.com and BOM and Shawn verified BO.com was correct.

 

And speaking of Derby... don't miss another heroic week in the Derby.

It tells us that you should be put on the ignore list.
