Both are mysterious figures spoken about in awed whispers with connections at the very top of the movie business and lots of secret inside information. Maybe Kal and Rth/Dean are playing the long game on us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 IDK if anybody brought this up, but Avatar never has a day above SW7's Wednesday. Not even a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Pretty crazy (and just reinforces the strength of Avatars legs and SW7's massiveness). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts me at 6 and many others are doing the same. Are you going for a personal record? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 If SW7 makes 1 billion domestic, nothing is gonna beat that for the next 30 years except MAYBE Episode 8 which must make it extra depressing for Kal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Episode 8 is great, it's going to have the Empire Strikes Back kind of dip. Edited December 24, 2015 by The Panda Menace 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Wow, just wow "LOS ANGELES - December 23, 2015 - "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is powering up for a second historic weekend at the top of Fandango's Fanticipation movie buzz indicator with a rare 100 out of 100 points. The top Fanticipation ranking has only appeared four times previously since Fandango started ranking films in 2013, and has never appeared in back-to-back weeks for the same movie. Christmas Day 2015 also promises to be a day for the record books, as Friday's sales are on track to far outpace sales for previous Christmas Days at the same point in the Fandango sales cycle. Fandango's previous best-selling Christmas was in 2012, when "Les Miserables, "Django Unchained" and other hits were released." http://pro.boxoffice.com/latest-news/2015-12-23-fandango-star-wars-the-force-awakens-new-releases-driving-biggest-christmas-day-sales-in-company-history 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I'm just saying this, if it does indeed pass Titanic adjusted or just come close, then it goes down as the most impressive BO run ever. Titanic was in theaters for a whole goddamn year and TFA has to deal with internet piracy and a shorter time in theaters along with a more crowded marketplace. The fact it's even approaching these numbers already puts it in rare company. I'm still having trouble comprehending how insane this is. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark 33Legend of the Sith Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I've been saying for a while Christmas is going to be a more than normal monster day. Families are going to come out in droves. I think something extra massive happens as the cultural phenomenon. I might be crazy but something pushing 60 could be in store to shut the forum down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We probably won't see another domestic run like this ever again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TFA can pull 37-40m on weekdays then 60m on a Christmas Friday is definitely on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The Star Wars 7 score is really growing on me, I only really liked it at first. I've listened to the final track a few times now, it's pretty great. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To an extent I agree, but it's completely insane (in the most fun way possible) to finally have a blockbuster that is mercilessly destroying others even adjusted for inflation. This is a truly historic run and I hope everyone appreciate just how rare this is. I know I am. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have to say, how I have NEVER stumbled onto this forum before is pure enigma to me. I came here from reddit, and this forum looks awesome! Anyway, holy crap! This is a completely unreal hold. I'm the guy who said 230 M opening week-end was an audacious number, and I expected it to be below that. Now, what's happening right now exactly? I just... what the... is this even real? I've been following box office for years now, and I've never seen anything like this. So exciting, I can barely do anything meaningful during the day! Sure, I work... but yeah, mind's not on it. I hadn't even planned on seeing the movie more than once, but that's it now, I have to go back a 3rd time. Maybe even 4th. Be a part of history Whatever, pleased to meet y'all, greetings from Canada, and I'll be sure to stick around! This is completely insane. ~Dax P.S. Small question, does anybody know the %female audience right now? If I recall correctly it was 70% male on premiere day, but it was shifting quite abruptly and now, I don't know what's the status on it? Anyway, gotta work on a proper avatar now... 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
