terrestrial Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Claims More Records with $38.1 Million on WednesdayDecember 24, 2015 03:20 AM by Shawn Robbins Please note that some studios are closed for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Grosses for Wednesday, Dec. 23 are a mix of estimates and actuals. Disney reports this morning that Star Wars: The Force Awakens added another $38.1 million to its domestic haul on Wednesday, giving the film a staggering six-day gross of $363.5 million -- besting Jurassic World's previous record take of $278.4 million in the same time frame by 30.6 percent. The Force Awakens also broke yet another record yesterday as the best Wednesday gross in history for a non-opening day. The previous record belonged to 2007's original Transformers, which earned $29.1 million in its second day of release. Yesterday marked a 2 percent increase from Tuesday's record gross as the film continues to closely follow the daily hold pattern of current all-time box office champ Avatar. Needless to say, Star Wars' performance thus far is beyond remarkable as it will easily become the fastest film to reach $400 million domestically early in its eighth day of release on Friday -- more than two days quicker than Jurassic World. With looks to be a record-breaking second weekend around $160-170 million, The Force Awakens will already have topped $500 million before the end of a busy Christmas weekend (at 17 days, it took Jurassic World more than twice as long to accomplish that feat). With many studios closed for the holidays, estimates will continue to be the general extent of reporting over the next few days.

Daxtreme Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) So the international drop between Tuesday and Wednesday was -7.55% (41.3M / 38.4M) source: https://twitter.com/giteshpandya From Monday to Tuesday it was -1%. Still, pretty good holds, but I don't think these are Avatar-level holds for the Foreign box office! Really hard to compare though, we don't have such numbers available for Avatar. edit: It's opening in Greece today (Dec 24), so expect a softer drop. Cyprus, India and Pakistan open on December 25 Edited December 24, 2015 by Daxtreme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Skywalker Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) It's $85M(DOM) Ahead of the BIGGEST Movie of 2015, yeah imagine that. Edited December 24, 2015 by Ash Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxtreme Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 In only 6 days, Force Awakens has already grossed more worldwide than X-Men: Days of Future Past, which I loved btw but ... this is insane! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Since there are no words to describe this run, I look for absurd data and curiosities: The Mon-Wed gross ($115m) would rank as the 23rd biggest OW ever, on par to Man of Steel, Minions or Spider-man. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
