Christmas Eve Awakens: SW 27.5-28.5m (Rth) So this is how Avatar dies, with thunderous applause

[tokila]

I noted in the Wed thread that is 10million over what JW did its opening Thursday in the middle of the summer. TFA already has close to a 100million lead on JW with gross to date at same point in run. JW fell short of Avatar by 110 million. At this point even if it match JW from here on out we would be right on the DOM record.

 Opening week for SW7 comes up to 391-392M. Beating JW's record by 95M+.

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.

If it got there (which it likely won't), that would basically mean a 0% drop from the OW excluding previews. The fact that we can even dream about that is absurd.

Kal still thinks that demand will peter out and it might not even beat Jurassic World domestically.

Friday will be double whatever today ends up being. Craziness. I guess my $152 million Derby prediction is gonna be juuuussstttt a tad off lol

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

Here is the funny thing, if it continues to mirror Avatar it would get the Thursday record next week.

Also, with today's gross, the film moves into the Top 25 All-Time after just 1 week of release. To get into the Top 10 by tomorrow, it needs around $50M.

Thanks for looking out! I've adjusted accordingly

I think TFA could take the record of most days consecutive days at number 1. Remember Avatar slipped up CMAS day when Sherlock beat it out by 1 mil. I think it will be number 1 each day until Ride Along 2 Friday. 

[superduperm]

I kind of mentioned this in the other thread. But even if the figure comes out at $27.5M, I don't see how this isn't past $550M by Sunday. This could very well be at three-quarters of a billion by the end of New Year's Weekend.

Wonder how long it's gonna take before my brain stops reading TFA as The First Avenger. It's mildly annoying having to constantly correct myself ;p.

[TStechnij]

Just predicted an over $300 weekend. Sorry, not sorry. 

[tokila]

If it comes in at 28.3 mil it will be higher than any single day Avatar ever got during its entire run. On CMAS EVE!

[Biggestgeekever]

So I guess the question now is whether it can hit $60M. 50 is locked up IMO and we're gonna see $500M fall on Saturday, rather than on Sunday.

So is TFA all but guaranteed to have two weekends in the top 10 weekends now? That 2nd weekend won't just squeak by either, it could go as high as #5.

[superduperm]

Ladies and Gentlemen, get everything you can out of your system while watching this TFA run. We may never see anything like it ever again, at least in our life times. Following the point where TFA closes from theaters, we will only be following box office hoping to find a moment that at least comes close to this run. But it may never truly be matched.

 

Maybe I'm just exaggerating. But seriously, enjoy the run while it's happening.

Its going to be poetic when TFA passes JW on DEC 31st for number#1 in 2015 calendar year.

That record is likely held by Titanic with 100+ days, so I don't think TFA will beat it
