It HAS always been a great time of the year for boxoffice. I'm just saying that SW7 is raising studios' expectation on Dec to A LOT higher level and they will probably start to treat Dec the way they do with the summer. I never said you said it was weak. I said over the last 20 years (if we want to include Titanic) the evidence has been there for studios to go all in on that weekend pre Christmas. We agree in principle.

The first 3 are close 500m adjusted now. That's much more than any summer tent pole in 2013-2014. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So around £56.5m ($84m) Thu-Thu. Will be be close to the $100m after Sunday. Unbelievable numbers, the equivalent of around $600m in the US after the second weekend. Merry Christmas all! to add to Good Olive's post a bit more details via Heretic's post 17 minutes ago, Biggestgeekever said: There's the Resident Evil movie, and then there's.... whatever this is supposed to be: http://www.indiewire.com/article/holy-f-cking-sh-t-discovery-of-roar-the-most-dangerous-movie-ever-made-20150707 I remember that one (haven't seen the movie, but it's details made the news) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083001/?ref_=nv_sr_3 the (famous) lead actress (Tippi Hedren) took at least one lion in later on (maybe more) who lived freely roaming in their house, hence the reason her daughter (also aactress = Melanie Griffith) has still a scar on her face. But that movie's injuries was based on in the end unpredictable animals = stupidity of some people to even do the movie in such way. Resident's has an horrible avoidable accident via faulty equipment and now again an accident with probably unsecured equipment = makes both IMHO even more avoidable (and a death + the kind of injuries and its not repairable parts are IMHO even worse) They did some re-news about Roar I see (probably based on the first time release in the US do many years later?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeX4Zveho7k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now SW7 showed you could actually do that good (and even a lot more) in Dec. Small opener but 500m adjusted is fantastic for RotK. It was 3 hours, less shows, and less hype Sw7 would have done this June aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggestgeekever Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Keep in mind Avatar's New year's eve was about 30% above Xmas eve. So even if the Thursday record doesn't fall today, it still could next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 70% over the current record! maybe my maths are bad by woundn't that be 85% of current record? 70% would be 150 mil or so. Could be wrong though.

Games still hold up really well and they're great remasters (2 and 3 still look amazing). And back to the #s, can't wait for that Rth update!!

terrestrial Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 no news via search machine, so I took another look in thr International part of the forum. To me it's interesting e.g. to see in which country the cinemas are closed/open at which time of day during the holidays Romania: 12 hours ago, James said: Star Wars' weekdays were pretty strong but tomorrow (Friday 25th) most theaters are closed and today there were very few shows till 4-5PM and none after that so I imagine it will be quite hard or even impossible for SW to match The Hobbit 3's -22% hold (last year, Christmas day was on a Thursday). Still, I hope for over 200.000 admissions for the week (biggest week ever in adm is FF7's first week with 210.625). Mexico: 3 hours ago, Purple Minion said: TFA latest reported total: US$14.8M. 6th biggest worldwide market. US$20M may cone short by Sunday.. alll 3 = Australia: 10 hours ago, Ball Lightning said: Today was around a 50% drop from yesterday for Star Wars at my work. Still our busiest Christmas Eve ever with Star Wars making more then any other Christmas Eve with all films combined (except in 2002). Tomorrow will be an interesting day, no idea how it'll play. It's 35C in Melbourne which might help drive families to the cinemas in the evening. (summer = that's rather warm = 95°F) 2 hours ago, KATCH-2D2 said: X-Mas day numbers aren't going to be that exciting, in my city most of the cinemas are closed and the one that aren't only start showing from 3PM. Boxing day should make up for it though. Having said that, I'm going for my second viewing today instead because there aren't many good seats left for me tomorrow. 14 hours ago, JJ-8 said: $38,537,569 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
