It has finally broken free of Jorge Lucas and is rising from the ashes like a phoenix.

That would be 70% over the current record! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, look at how the Special Edition releases performed. It was still the same, and by that time the general consensus had been reached.

GiantCALBears Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) The record for non opening Thursday gross is $29.094m unadjusted from TF2 (2nd day of release), probably way too much to ask for given Christmas Eve. 2nd place is Despicable Me 2 w/ $24.547m (also 2nd day out).
