I was ready to explode.

[kitik]

Even though it's impossible, could you imagine the actual final tally if this continued to hold better than Avatar?

[#ED]

About a 28% drop. Whatever.

Well I noticed you've beat me 2 days in a row.

That's 6% better than Avatar with bigger numbers.  Anything sub 30% is fantastic.

 

It also means we're in for a 55m+ Christmas Day!

25%-27.7%

I did the math in Spanish. 

[Mango]

Anything sub-40% today would have been good, a sub-30% drop is just awesome. $50 million Friday is looking good.

[druv10]

Awesome fucking hold. It continues to amaze. It also has now surpassed DH2, ROTK & ROTS.

[Moviedweeb]

Out of this world. 

[Cmasterclay]

Question unrelated to Star Wars (gasp): 2.3 million for Big Short yesterday in 1,500 theaters on a Wednesday is a pretty ok number, right? I'm not really sure how that should be interpreted, TBH. 

[rustyspoons89]

Amazing for Christmas Eve. So is this the largest non opening Thursday?

50, I say 60 is looking good with Saturday around 70.

[Magic]

Pffft. Didn't even get the record. Disappointing. No milk and cookies for Rth. Why has my God forsaken me? 

[The Panda]

So, I'll take the middle of 28m and hold it like Avatar for the weekend.

 

Fri: 58m

Sat: 71m

Sun: 61.1m

Weekend: 190.1m

 

As insane as these weekdays have been, I still doubt it could get that high.

[vc2002]

OK 2BN here we come.

[Dark Jedi Master 007]

This gives it the #2 Highest Non-Opening Thursday Gross Ever behind Transformers: ROTF, which was in its 2nd day when it nabbed the record. TFA is in its 7th and it almost took the record on the one day we all knew it was going to drop. This film's just on another level.

Tomorrow will be big then this will explode over the weekend since everyone that hasn't seen it because of Christmas will go see it.

 

My ridiculously high Derby prediction is probably too low
