So where do we figure this will make WW? In between Titanic and Avatar?

Probably, yeah.

Is there a Force Awakens over Batman v. Superman & Civil War combined DOM club yet?

Force Awakens might do more than Jurassic World and Ultron combined  I am not sure if we need it honestly but no, there isn't.

Who wouldn't be in that club though?

How many admissions does SW7 need to surpass Snow White 1937 to become the highest attended Disney movie of all time?

[mikeymichael]

49.3 isn't surprising at all. We should have seen this coming after Thursday's better-than-Avatar drop. Not unreasonably to say all of the new releases snatched at least 5 million from TFA's number. Today and tomorrow will be huge. I think today will get 57 million and tomorrow 47 million for a weekend of 153 million. Still insane.

That's incorrect actually, he got $2b in cash & $2b in stock. Btw why do people assume that just because he owns shares that Disney didn't lowball him? It's clear he wanted to make a deal w/ them but it's also clear if he wanted to start a bidding war, he would've been paid a lot more ($5b-$10b?).

 

arrgh, you're right. I wanted to say he didn't get only $4b, he got the 1/2 in 40 million shares (worth $2b too), means he still gets yearly money. And I think he still gets some ~ small percentages out of some merchandise deal.

 

He stated something he wants the company, movies... in hands he trusts.

I am guessing he didn't feel good at/with FOX

I'm a bit bullish.  I see:

 

$1.1B Domestic

$1.4B OS

 

$2.5B WW.  Avatar is still definitely in play depending on 1) China and 2) domestic final gross.

Yep, this what I was thinking

Because I would make ForceAwakens > BatSupes/CivilWar/Apocalypse DOM instead...

I'm at my 3rd SW viewing. Going to watch this during my lunch break. Snack line was too long. I'm gonna watch with without snacks!

Lucas wanted to sell his assets to a company that was familiar with protecting a family legacy. He wanted a place where Lucasfilm would fit in (to some degree) and also retain some autonomy. That's why he chose Disney, and why he didn't want to do a bidding war or anything. Money wasn't particularly high on his list of concerns.

Because I would make ForceAwakens > BatSupes/CivilWar/Apocalypse DOM instead...

 

lol well I guess that's better…but now I most would not be in though.

This weekend really screwed my Winter Game big time. Also, my club was less than a million away from being a success (but I'm waiting for actuals).

 

And HOLY CRAP at Daddy's Home. I thought 20M for the weekend and that was optimistic. This is truly a massive breakout.

He looked at Marvel and said "Yeah sure, this is a good place".

Hopefully we get at least $59.7m today for $500m in 9 days. 

 

I'm thinking it misses that unfortunately.  It would be cool to have $500M in 9 days and $550 in 10 (9 major milestones in 10 days), but I'm thinking it's going to be more like $500M in 10 days and $550M in 11.  That's when our insane line drops of 7 major milestones ($100M - $400M) occurring in 8 days comes to an end.  

What's unbelievably amazing is that the movie didn't barely squeak by any of these milestones to this point.  In fact, it missed the $250M mark by less than ~2.1M.  Otherwise, it's beaten the mark by at least ~14M for each record.

How do you think I feel having predicted 7M for the weekend for Daddy's Home
