Star Wars Tuesday - 37.3M (Tele/baumer bet for Wednesday drop is on page 24...much to learn one of them still has)

[baumer]

Itll be down to about 22 mill christmas eve and then do about 130-140 on the weekend....which is insane.

Sw7 becomes the most watched singe trailer video on YouTube. ...

For me, my number is 865 million.  That gives it a 3.5X coming off a record setting opening weekend,.

 

If it passes that I'll be stoked.

But let's not kid ourselves, it's going past that.

 

 

Yeah, 515m by the end of Sunday, around 675m by the end of Jan 3, for a 850m or so finish, sounds reasonable to me. Anything over that is just icing on an already fabulous cake. Don't know what superlative to use to describe a +900m gross.

So, what are the odds of it breaking the non-opening Wednesday record. Currently Transformers has it with $29.1 million. To beat that TFA would have to drop less than 22%. Is that realistic?

I would say it's a fact

See the thread title, the early estimates for Wednesday are already way higher as the old record = $36-38m

 

Even in case it's overestimated, in no way it is such extremly overrated that it won't break said record (barring a catastrophy of really big proportions)

 

arrg, edit: mixed up Tuesday with Wednesday.... happens repeatedly to me based on living in another time zone

The thread title refers to Wednesday? I thought it's for Tuesday.

[baumer]

Even if it falls 20% today (and thats way too high) itll have the non opening Wednesday record.

[Heretic]

In the UK, TFA dropped only 30% on Monday from a record shattering Sunday, and increased 1% on Tuesday. Made $18m in those 2 days, equivalent of over $100m in US.

 

Almost $70m in 5 days here, already breaking the 7 day record of $64m set by Spectre.

Looks like all three of the big theaters here in town are dropping In The Heart Of The Sea this weekend.

 

If that happens nationwide, it could have an enormous theater count drop.

 

We could be looking at yet another record this weekend!!!

So now we're estimating what the estimator's estimate will be?

I edited it rather fastly I thought, I mixed the days up, here it is already after midday of Wednesday (~14:00), so sometimes I forget it's way earlier in the US = another day

The big question is: Can STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS hit $200M+ in its 2nd weekend? If so, AVATAR's days are numbered...

Can't imagine it will beat VF's -93% crash from this past weekend. But it may not even be hitting a 2x multi if it's getting dropped hard this weekend. 

 

The age of the epic blockbusters and epic bombs is certainly upon us. 

[baumer]

Avatar....as most of us have said now....is a mathematical certainty. A billion is the "stay on target" number. I don't think it will get there....but its going to be a helluva ride.

[MovieMan89]

C'mon guys, the time for caution is over. Embrace the $1 billion. Let it  flow over you like you're Walter White.

So what is the all-time Tuesday record? Wednesday and Thursday?

Tuesday: Jurassic World ($24m)

Wednesday: Transformers ($29m)

Thursday: Transformers 2 ($29m)

 

All of them are non-opening days. If we look at every Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday:

Tuesday: The Amazing Spier.man ($35m)

Wednesday: Twilight: Eclipse ($68m)

Thursday: Revenge of the Sith ($50m)
