Right now, all I can say to Avatar is please keep the throne warm. We'll be there shortly. Cake will be served. LOL. I can totally imagine you making this post while dancing like this Edited December 27, 2015 by vc2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I said this: 13 minutes ago, HeyItsMoses said: Keep in mind, the numbers I gave are on the conservative/low end. TFA has proven to us that it doesn't follow normal BO rules, it makes it own. Wouldn't be surprised if it beats Avatar on Jan 2nd, or even Jan 1st. A few minutes later. The numbers I gave are super conservative and on the low end. The numbers weren't whole, I just rounded them DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokila Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sunday's gross is not about the 2nd weekend record (it should be 1 million off or so). Its about putting the 2nd weekend record out of reach for the next decade +. TFA beat the OW record by 20% or so, it will beat the 2nd weekend record by 40-50%.....

That's domestic, by the way. It will easily cross Avatar's DOM collections but highly unlikely it will reach 1.1bn let alone 1.6bn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanLB Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Haha, some of you guys are really bullish! I am still being very conservative, just hoping TFA passes Avatar by January 8 or so. Of course, given great holds, yes, I agree it'll be by the end of next weekend but that still seems like everything has to go quite well, with no real slow downs. We'll see, sure hope you guys are right! It seems weird that there's probably almost no way this movie doesn't make $900M+. Like... I cannot believe I'm writing that. It's just that doing the math, with the ease that it'll pass Avatar, it seems like it would be tough to imagine it not hitting $900M. Maybe a very fast January collapse could yield $875M but that's about as low as I can see. Whatever movie will challenge TFA's domestic total next, it's going to need to be a monster. I thought Avatar was nearly unassailable, and yet TFA will take it out within a month easily. Not even like it was that difficult. I worried months ago that maybe TFA could beat Avatar or come close, but I'd be reloading box office stats daily watching it make $250,000 per day with Avatar $15 million away and just thinking please god don't pull this movie before we get there! LOL, thankfully that will not be the case. This is like watching your favorite sports team in a game that's supposed to be extremely close but your team is up so big at the half there's just really no way they could blow it lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTK was coming off a 28m weekend and made additional 87m, a multi of about 3. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
