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

What a mighty Tuesday!

We should have some sympathetic SW fans defect to Mission Impossible.

 

Just so that franchise can crack 700 m WW.

That number would put it at nearly $550 million in only 10 days! If it hits that then $700 million by the end of January 3rd seems all but locked. Crazy to think it would hit $700 million in the amount of time Jurassic World hit $500 million!!

Not really. Even though the movie has massive flaws, it was guaranteed to be big just because it follows Episode 6. Without the Star Wars name though, people would recognize it for the garbage that it is.

So I'm just gonna summon my inner RTH and say 37-39. 

When I came here I was but a learner but now I am (definitely not) the master.

Anything over 34 would be nuts

I agree, that would already be great.

lol yeah, In the Heart of the Sea is being dropped almost everywhere around me too. Won't even make $25M at this point. Who would've thought anything would come along that would make Pan and Jupiter Ascending look like actual blockbusters in comparison?

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

About to go contribute 30 more dollars to the Wednesday total!

45m Wednesday confirmed. Lock in $2 billion. 

At what point does this movie slow down. Are the same people seeing it multiples times or what? Don't understand why it's doing this well during Christmas. It's like people are forgetting about the holidays. The movie is decent, but not amazing or anything groundbreaking. It's basically ANH repackaged. Just pure hype.

In the Hear of the Sea will cover his budget WW. Pan couldn't even do that

 

All three are monster bombs. And WB is opening another 100M beast this weekend. At least this time they just payed a bit of the budget so it won't be another 100M write-off.

Christmas is probably the only time it could do this well. This is always the best time of year for legs. Obviously most people are loving it. Even if it is just ANH 2 (disagree), that's what half the fanbase was asking for anyways.

Think about it. If this weekend is as huge as we expect...that means more word of mouth will bring more people to see it. 

 

We're all assuming that once half a billion is reached that most of those who were going to see it will have done so. Yet when was the last time we had a film as loved as this one by audiences? Yeah you had Avengers, but this is Star Wars. It appeals to all generations and Xmas family time is the perfect period to convince Grandma and Grandad that the magic they remember has returned. The Titanic effect if you like. 

 

It's still early days but I'm still thinking this might continue to defy logic for many weeks to come. 

 

This is Star Wars. And key to it...it's like old Star Wars. There isn't anything in cinema that means as much to so many as that trilogy.

I find some people's current lack of faith in the force somewhat...... disturbing 

 

Like 200 people have said this in the past two days, but only RTH can get like, more than 3 likes.

 

Dat name brand.
