I wouldn't know what the movie is about if it wasn't for this forum Isnt' that the same for any star though? Plus David O Russell is a major director now. His films are always must-see's. Joy's solid opening doesn't surprise me in the slightest personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly seems like it could do a billion OS without China. Needs a massive 9 days or so of business now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan7 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 How is the OS looking compared to other blockbuster movies? Is it breaking records in various territories because all I've been hearing is this breaking records domestically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doing great everywhere, but not as spectacular as in Britain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Star Wars is massive in places like UK and OZ and is doing huge business in most places it's opened. Even in South/Latin America its doing huge business. I only go into the International section is very sparingly but if you want to see how it's doing country-by-country just go there and read the threads. 2 billion in my opinion is a foregone conclusion. I don't think it will reach avatar worldwide but at this point you never know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking the Avatar record is now dependent on how well it can beat it in international territories. Looks like it's going to make around 1B domestically but it needs over 1.5B+ OS to really stand a chance at beating Avatar now.

department store basement Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 People are like "Joy is doing insanely well" but I always expected this number for opening weekend. It's a feel-good true story about a woman who becomes rich. Perfect for the holidays, unlike something depressing like Concussion (which I overpredicted).

Yeah honestly, it looked liked marketing wanted to hide the fact that it's about a women who invented the miracle mop. Opening on-par with American Hustle is a big win for the studio. Concussion opened on par with other Will Smith dramatic vehicles, and the budget was surprisingly only 35m, so that's going to end up doing pretty good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark 33Legend of the Sith Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Well my "gut" feeling about Christmas getting a big family bump was off. I think I underestimated how some theatres have less showtimes on Christmas day. The good news is today should see a nicer increase (20%) to 60 million and a 52 million Sunday that's bigger than Christmas. That would put it at 161 and that is officially ridiculous for weekend #2. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I don't think many people really believe or believed that Star Wars would ever touch avatar worldwide. I have never thought it would reach that high. I don't see how it does. But in my opinion it can definitely get past Titanic to get to number two worldwide which is around 2.2 billion. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 All i ever knew about Joy is that she likes to fire a gun. Thats it. The marketing did not reveal any of the story and just expect people to go see it because jennifer Lawrence is in it. Obviously that is working because the movie has opened fairly well and will continue to play while over the holidays. It's definitely a movie that you were going to see because of her and maybe because of the director and maybe because it reunites her with two of the cast mates from SLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Great for SW. I guess the bump was just never going to be as high as normal with the insane weekdays. Still going to destroy the 2nd weekend record and get at least 150m. That's <40% drop from the biggest OW ever, including the insane previews. It could still very easily do a <20% drop minus previews. Insanity. Great for everything else as well. Headed for one of the biggest total weekends ever.
