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

was titanic number one every day?

So, I took a look at the 24th details out of BOM's charts for X-Mas. Obviously the openers at X-Mas didn't have a 24th result listed, so here some numbers of the record holders of the 25 December.

... then I thought better give percentages too:

It seems there was no non-opening title on the top 15 chart at BOM, the not listed years had too bad numbers

Christmas Eve Titanic:

It's just insane how it's 2nd weekend will place in the Top 5 Opening Weekends. #fuckinamazing

[blackspider]

Wow another great hold. I was expecting 26m. Let's say it comes in at 28m (split the difference) then its Thursday retained 46% of its Sunday while Avatar retained 45%. So in other words, it held up better during the week than frikkin' Avatar while pulling in way bigger numbers. Unreal.

[tokila]

TFA should end up with most days over 60 million(JW had 2, TFA has 3 and could get a 4th), 50 million, 40 million, and 30 million for sure. . Over 10 million and 5 million will be tough to take from Avatar (Avatar was having 5 million days through 1/2 of Jan and had a 10 million day in Feb). I dont think anyone is taking days over 1 million from Titanic.

Looking at it's totals day to day I doubt it. It was under $1.5 million for over 220 of it's 286 day original run. Keep in mind that Titanic's highest single day was $13 million. Avatar probably holds the record.

I'm satisfied with the number and I can finally go to bed. Good night everyone and have a Merry Christmas.

[XeOF4]

BOM lists Titanic as #1 every day from 21 Dec 1997 to 2 Apr 1998

[ChiSoxRox]

Avatar had 52 days at #1, including the entire month of January except for one day (Book of Eli).

[Biggestgeekever]

The-Numbers, which has more data on pre-2002 daily grosses than BOM, has Titanic's first non #1 day occurring on its 78th where it placed second to U.S. Marshals of all films: http://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-chart/daily/1998/03/06

Welp I was wrong! I need to research more instead of going off memory

What's a realistic number for TFA? 30?

Good question.

 

The Revenant expands 1/8

Ride Along 2  1/15

Kung Fu Panda 3  1/26 ( this one for sure )

 

[ChiSoxRox]

So using The Numbers' daily chart for Titanic, it had 97 days at #1.

[superduperm]

I just noticed something that's possible: what if the second Saturday comes in higher than the first Saturday? That may look like a fantasy on paper, but look at Avatar's trend. It's second Saturday came out at $28M. Opening Saturday was around $25M.

 

It's definitely not as likely for TFA, but hey, put Christmas Day at around $56M, then give it a 22% increase on Saturday. Not so unbelievable anymore now, is it?

 

I thought these $200M second weekends were pipe dreams. But I could understand why some people would predict them.

 

Still thinking it ends up around $175M, though.

Probably around there. How this holds up post-New Years will be very interesting.

If we are still assuming that a lot of people put off seeing TFA because they were busy before Christmas then Saturday could be huge.

[blackspider]

Can't wait to see how big Friday goes. The best 2nd Friday currently is Catching Fire with 31.5m. Just another record TFA is gonna shit on.
