XXR vs XXR Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 17 minutes ago, Ozymandias said: 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 If EP7 hits $1 billion, nothing is touching it that's currently on the board (I disagree with the 30 year statement, it will fall inside of 15 due to ticket prices and inflation if nothing else). EP8 definitely won't do it if they leave the opening day where it is currently. It will probably break EP7's weekend record, it just won't have the legs to surpass it's domestic total. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings from Houston! Last I saw the split was 58% male, 42% female but it was trending to a more even split so it's probably about 55% - 45% at this point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 This is the most anticipated movie of the 21st century AND it was really good. Nothing is touching this domestic run for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) In retrospect I gotta say this number's pretty amazing. I remember when people were predicting TFA to only make around 500m, now it has the possibility of doubling that number. WHOA!! Never saw that coming, definitely.

This has to slow down eventually....it can't keep this pace up. Seriously, this is nuts. My guess, after NY it slows down to finish with 1.1-1.2B or right around Titanic Admissions.

LonePirate Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 All I want Santa to bring me for Christmas this year is the guarantee of a $70M gross on Saturday. Everything else takes care of itself after that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

($34.5M) I would say that's probably impossible, since many theaters close early. But perhaps families everywhere will get up from dinner tables, walk to theaters, and say "open up or we riot."

($34.5M) No, it's going to drop 30-35% which is perfectly fine for 25-26M. Friday is where the real fireworks begin, potential 60M. This run has been just perfect. Massive presales followed by great reviews then BO followed suit to the max on OW and now legs are kicking in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
