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

[Lordmandeep]

No doubt Star  Wars is undoubtly the most talked about major blockbuster I can remember in a while.

 

At work and at family gatherings...

-People talk about the film who seen it.

- Talk about how they want to see it

- Act like Excel and pretend Star  Wars is not popular

- Use Star Wars lines in funny and unfunny ways.

I think expecting a 100% jump today is unrealistic. Just a gut feeling.

However Canada would be skewed as I think Boxing day  i the is bigger movie watching day. With Monday a Holiday here this should play well over 4-days. 

 

Dont forget Puerto Rico. We must never forget...

 

Figures my first post in 3+ years is about Puerto Rico.

Expecting a 95% jump as opposed to north of 100 isnt really being negative TELE. I'm already having trouble wrapping my brain around the ridiculous notion that its going to makebetween 140-180 this weekend.....insert scanners gif here.

I think Monday needs to be given more due. It was really something unbelievable. That beautiful drop from an already enormous and very-softly-dropped Sunday, infact a drop on par with Avatar, was what really made 1B start to actually look non-un-realistic. Also Friday would easily be at the top (119m in December!!) but the 57m Previews included in it, previews that everybody did already expect to be enormous (although not to this scale) regardless of the month, reduce its 'incredible-ness' in my opinion. Tuesday and Saturday really were nothing compared to the other days though.

Monday was great, but I kinda saw it coming. Wednesday and Thursday were really the days that defied my expectations. The Wednesday increase  was just completely unexpected

It was more of an inside joke instead of randomly popping over after 3 years to say hi.

You should have made a false 60M Friday thread.  It worked before.

[CJohn]

I am expecting a solid 80-90% increase.

And the perspective that it can beat the Saturday record on its 2nd weekend after the OW record is ridiculous, absurd. It is like if you are leaving home and you forget the keys. "I have beaten Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... what do I forget? oh, Saturday. Ok, I will beat it on 2nd weekend..."

 

If it follows Avatar it can grab Sunday, then next week break its own Mon-Wednesday records, then take the Thursday record.

 

[peludo]

Do you remember when some people were predicting 120-130 opening and 400-450 total? good times...
