Gopher Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Really strong Xmas. DH is just totally out of the blue. I didn't even track many sellouts for it (seemed to be doing even business with Joy, which actually disappointed a bit yesterday). Hateful Eight's gonna have an amazing week too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it have hurt anything to take some cash from Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve so we could have a $250m opening and $50m second Friday? No but it's apparent they don't care about milestones whether in dollar amount or days. It sucks for us but it is what it is. On side note and to your point as well, SW7 is now 11th all-time just behind Shrek 2 by 800K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Christmas Eve, it dropped much less than Avatar so 107% jump wasn't happening on Friday anyway but Saturday jump should be around 20%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Harris Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) 17 minutes ago, edmkh said: I wonder what is George Lucas thinking right now seeing this insane numbers for Episode 7. Quality aside, watching this episode 7 numbers; Episodes 2 and 3 were really a big box office disappointment. He should be wondering why he bothered making prequels when the movie-going public clearly wanted to know what happens to Han, Luke, and Leia AFTER Return of the Jedi. Does anyone think this movie would be making this much coin if the original cast wasn't involved? Yes, the prequels had that "Star Wars brand," but THIS is the story we've been waiting to see since 1983. I remember being disappointed when Lucas announced he was going through with Eps 1, 2, and 3 - I wanted Eps 7, 8, and 9! Apparently, a lot of people still feel this way.

baumer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'm no Xia, or even close to the best box office prognosticattor here, never have been and never will be. However, I seem to have a beat on SW, since the presales came in. I think SW has to start "slowing" a bit. By that I mean that there is no way it can keep Avatar's pace going. Avatar was a nice sized hit early on and then obviously wom kept it going so that it hit that 10X. SW is a different beast. It opened with the force of a tsunami combined with a typhoon and it just kept going to 7 days. Finally, on Christmas day it didn't follow Avatar's increase as it came in 27% less but this is a film that is moving at record speeds. It has to slow down because it didn't open like avatar. Based on all of this, I think today will see a smaller increase that Avatar's 22%, but not by much simply because there will be more showtimes. I also think it will slow a bit in the week to come. Now having said that, slow down just means instead of falling 9% on New Year's weekend, it will fall about 25%. A billion is all but locked based on this weekend, and really, I have no idea where it will land. Fans love it, those who have never seen a SW film before love it and critics love it. It's a perfect trifecta. So instead of putting down some arbitrary number as to where it will land, I will just say that it will do north of a billion and land somewhere between that and SW adjusted. It's a fun ride, and it will be for the next few months. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being disappointed when Lucas announced he was going through with Eps 1, 2, and 3 - I wanted Eps 7, 8, and 9! Apparently, a lot of people still feel this way. Patton Oswalt has a great joke on one of his albums about Lucas getting everyone hyped for new Star Wars movies, and being like "you all love love Vader right? Well here he is as an annoying kid!" And a bunch of other spot on analysis about the prequels and Lucas basically giving us all shitty stories nobody asked for based on characters and a universe we loved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
