wildphantom Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 We can't be far away from Disney firming up whether Episode VIII will be sticking to its May 2017 slot, or moving to Christmas. You can bet all the other studios are waiting on that move. If they stick to it, you can bet no studio with a big budget summer movie will go near it for at least three weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest Month ever, with a current total of 534mil up until now The Avengers had the biggest Month with 532 million in May 2012. JW had 514 this past June, but it had some better legs because less competition and 4th of July weekend gave it a nice boost. Avengers came out early in the month while JW came out mid-month. Difficult to compare them. Definitely a cool record for TFA considering it came out so much later in the month than Avengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinksterAC Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 6 minutes ago, Darth Dexter of Hoth said: Also bitched slap Avengers. People thought Avengers was this generation Star Wars Two observations: 1) George Lucas really screwed the pooch with those prequels. It's clear that the box office potential of the Star Wars property simply has no equal--nothing even in its same league. 2) If actuals come in around 158 (I think they do), it means TFA shattered the old opening weekend record by about 19%, and the second weekend record by about 50%. Adjusted for inflation, this movie has a strong chance at surpassing Titanic's first run. TITANIC. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylemur Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 redfirebird2008--I'll go back and like your post once my ability is refreshed (and I can tell after posting for a day that, if I'm still employed in the new year, I'd better go for a paid membership!) My post should have mentioned that parts of NM and Texas got more than three feet of snow in less than 24 hours, which is mind boggling to me. California has actual tornadoes actually touch down, and parts of Washington rec'd two feet of snow. This is one well-named winter storm. Glad you're in Houston...suggest staying there a bit longer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an off-note, 2017 looks a lot more fun blockbuster wise than 2016 The Dark Tower LEGO Batman Beauty and the Beast Skull Island Ghost in the Shell Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Star Wars Episode 8 Kingsman 2 Wonder Woman Uncharted War of the Planet of the Apes New Nolan Movie Pirates 5 (with competent directors) Spider-Man Done Right? New Alien? Coco Ready Player One Avatar 2 All of those look like really fun blockbusters, and I'm sure a few I didn't mention will turn out good (and some of those will turn out bad) Then again, I though 2015 looked a lot more fun than 2014, and 2014 turned out to be (overall) a much better year than 2015. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just rain and wind here so far. My flight to Midland is tomorrow afternoon. Supposed to be sunny in mid to high 30's there tomorrow. Hoping the sun helps melt enough of the snow so I can get back as scheduled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxRox Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm hoping for $159.0M to get TFA past the 550 mark. But this number is certainly good enough. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are we all in agreement that Disney is low balling this again? What are we actually hoping for? Rth was saying 58M Saturday last night. DHD recently updated Saturday to 59.5M (that happened in the last few hours, definitely wasn't there in the morning). Haven't seen too many Sunday reports yet, but going by the precedent set last week, it should hold better than Disney's estimate. Plus if the Saturday figure is really 58-59M then even the current -15.9% would give us a Sunday figure near 50M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
